If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck—it’s an effing duck. (H/T: Charles.)
On June 29th, MSNBC personality and three-time presidential candidate Pat Buchanan appeared on a neo-Nazi radio program to promote his new revisionist history of the Second World War, Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War: How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World. James Edwards is the host of the program “Political Cesspool,” the stated mission of which is to “represent a philosophy that is pro-White.” Edwards and his colleauges seek “to revive the White birthrate above replacement level fertility and beyond to grow the percentage of Whites in the world relative to other races” and believe that “Secession is a right of all people and individuals. It was successful in 1776 and this show honors those who tried to make it successful in 1865.”
According to the researchers at the Anti-Defamation League, who listened to the show, Buchanan defended Charles Lindbergh, saying, “…his reputation has been blackened because of a single speech he gave and a couple of paragraphs in it where he said that … the Jewish community is beating the drums for war … but frankly, no one has said what he said was palpably untrue.”
Buchanan is in good company. Perusing the guest list of Political Cesspool, one sees Willis Carto, (perhaps the most prominent anti-Semite in America), Mark Weber (Director of the Institute for Historical Review, a Holocaust denial outfit) and Jared Taylor, the editor of American Renaissance, a eugenicist publication. A political cesspool indeed. Calling Buchanan a “brownshirt” a few weeks ago may have seemed a little impertinent at the time, but it’s entirely accurate.
A quick reference to the Wikipedia entry on Lindbergh gives you some idea about his thoughts on Jews. They’re not unlike Buchanan’s, I think.
Lindbergh’s reaction to Kristallnacht was entrusted to his diary: “I do not understand these riots on the part of the Germans,” he wrote. “It seems so contrary to their sense of order and intelligence. They have undoubtedly had a difficult ‘Jewish problem,’ but why is it necessary to handle it so unreasonably?”
In his diaries, he wrote: “We must limit to a reasonable amount the Jewish influence… Whenever the Jewish percentage of total population becomes too high, a reaction seems to invariably occur. It is too bad because a few Jews of the right type are, I believe, an asset to any country.â€
So let’s take a look at what our newly uncloseted neo-Nazi has to say about the Jews, from his piece titled, “Who’s Planning Our Next War?”
Yet Israel is even today pushing Bush into a pre-emptive war with a naked threat to attack Iran itself should Bush refuse the cup.
[…] Ehud Olmert came home from a June meeting with Bush to tell Israelis: “We reached agreement on the need to take care of the Iranian threat. … I left with a lot less question marks regarding the means, the timetable restrictions and American resoluteness. …
“George Bush understands the severity of the Iranian threat and the need to vanquish it, and intends to act on the matter before the end of his term. … The Iranian problem requires urgent attention, and I see no reason to delay this just because there will be a new president in the White House seven and a half months from now.â€
If Bush is discussing war on Iran with Ehud Olmert, why is he not discussing it with Congress or the nation?
[…] Moving through Congress, powered by the Israeli lobby, is House Resolution 362, which demands that President Bush impose a U.S. blockade of Iran, an act of war.
Is it not time the American people were consulted on the next war that is being planned for us?
Blaming the Jews: Check. Blaming Israel: Check. Blaming “the Israel lobby”: Check. Implying that Israel and/or Jews are running American foreign policy: Check.
You could easily interchange Lindbergh’s and Buchanan’s words and not know which was speaking. No wonder Buchanan defended Lindbergh on a neo-Nazi radio station. They’re brothers-in-ideology, separated by a few decades.
And in case you’re thinking that people are exaggerating about neo-Nazi quotient of the radio program, here are some quotes from the host’s blog:
At any rate, it’s nice to see that, while Jews in the government, media, and among the neocons work feverishly to get America to attack one Muslim country after another because of “Islamofascism†and “the Muslim threat to Israelâ€, other Jews are condemning white Europeans for not warmly welcoming tens of millions of these same Muslims into their midst.
Oh, but there’s more:
Jews have always been the biggest pushers of interracial marriage in America. Not for themselves, of course, and God forbid interracial marriage should be legal in Israel! But, as Greenberg makes plain, Jews think white people people marrying blacks should happen a lot.
This one’s just too-too:
Boy, here’s a surprise. A homosexual Jew editor over at The New Republic doesn’t like Pat Buchanan’s new book on World War II.
That’s about as much hate as I can take in one sitting.
Remember when I said just a few weeks ago that Buchanan had gone about as low as he could go? I was wrong. He’s now fully down in the gutter with the Jew-hating scum, and no longer bothering to hide it. (I wonder if Michael Kinsley would like to change his assertion that Buchanan doesn’t have a problem with Jews.) Buchanan is now openly on David Duke’s level, and in fact, has now spoken on the radio station that proudly interviewed David Duke as well. The question is, will NBC finally fire him?
Debbie Schlussel has quite a lot of stories about her personal experiences with Buchanan’s Jew-baiting. Why is it that the news shows seem to think Buchanan is immune, but sportscasters like Jimmy the Greek get fired for racist remarks?
Oh, wait. I forgot. It’s The Exception Clause. Bigoted statements are cause for immediate firing, except when made about Jews.
Time for the Yourish.com mantra: Anti-Semites of the world, just die already.
Lindbergh was OK with Jews as long as there weren’t too many. Jews were about one percent of the German population in 1938, which brings up the question, how many did Lucky Lindy think were “too many?” Presumably, enough to form a minyan would have been excessive in his eyes.
By the way, I am not foolish enough actually to go reply to that other idiot, but not only is interracial marriage in Israel perfectly legal, it’s unexceptionable. Even if you don’t count Sephardi-Ashkenazi as “interracial,” marriage of Ethiopians to other Israelis is not at all unheard of.
Of course, Buchanan is the one who a few years back defended the man accused of being “Ivan the Terrible” by saying he wasn’t that sadistic, murderous Nazi concentration camp guard, he was an altogether different sadistic, murderous Nazi concentration camp guard.
What I want to know is, why is this man still employed with MSNBC? When Imus made just one dergatory remark about black girls on a basketball team, he was fired even after he apolgized. Buchanan can and does continue to spout his hatred of Israel and the Jewish people, and yet nothing is ever done to him. Granted MSNBC is a liberal newsstation, and it’s no secret liberals are no great friends of Jews, but geez you would think after a while even they would be embarrassed to have someone so blantly racist like him on their station.
Great. Tim Russert (of blessèd memory) is dead, and meanwhile, Pat Buchanan continues to walk the planet.
How long, O Lord, how long?
Ann, lets hope that one day this POS makes a racist “open mic” public comment about black people, then watch the media turn on him with a vengeance.
I await that day.
Buchanan’s defense of John Demjanjuk is even more hypocritical than Alex suggests. Because while it was never proven one way or the other whether or not Demjanjuk was “Ivan the Terrible”, there is no question that he lied to get into the country about being a concentration camp guard and therefore acquired citizenship under false pretenses.
Pat claims to be in favor of secure borders. But I guess his “nuanced” position on illegal immigration is zero tolerance and summary deportation – unless he thinks that somewhere, some way, somehow you murdered innocent Jewish men, women and children. Then he wants to roll out the welcome wagon with a brass band.
A very good point, Gary, and one I missed. I guess Buchanan thinks some immigration is all right as long as it’s sadistic Nazis.
Ann, at #2 asks “…why is this man still employed with MSNBC?”
My guess, for what that is worth, is that he is employed because he so perfectly fits the Left’s image of conservatives in general. By putting Buchanan forward as a conservative spokesman they reinforce the image of conservatives as bigoted blowhards who think Hitler was much maligned and believe that everything wrong with America is the result of a Jewish plot. Or in other words, hateful morons.
