MSNBC: Pat Buchanan notes suicide an option if it's McCain vs Hillary

[bidenista]

Weird how some of Obama's supporters on DU manage to sound like Buchanan at the prospect of Hillary's nomination:

Quote of the Day

"If you've got a Hillary and McCain race, you've got a third option: That's the pistol on the bed table."

1. lol go Pat

[neutron]

7. I admire Pat

for his brilliant commentary, and look forward to hearing
that he has taken his option.

[Guaranteed]

21. I do too. He's a fucking nutcase, but consistent and honest and I respect him.

And he has a sense of humor as well.

[featherman]

2. LOL - RW heads exploding over this

[Libby2]

3. What a sick fuck he is!! n/t

[Trajan]

4. Im an Obama supporter AND a Clinton supporter ...

I dislike the sniping on both sides ....

Buchanan's opinion is worthless ....

[hisownpetard]

10. Yes, Buchanan's opinion *is* worthless - but he's just such eye candy, isn't he?

[robbedvoter]

5. Pretty much the meaning of Coulter's "endorsement too". In this case, an argument FOR

having such a GE choice.

[Hoof Hearted]

6. Poor Pat. He's worked so hard for a theocracy, n/t

[TwilightGardener]

8. Hillary vs. McCain would be the "Politics As Usual" Triumph.

Ugh. Two triangulating career pols.

[tularetom]

9. I already voted but if I thought he'd really do that, I'd make a large donation

to the Clinton campaign.

[newmajority]

11. Pat can take that option if he likes.

He's right in the sense that voting for either of them would be intolerable, but suicide isn't my recommendation. Honestly, I don't know what I would do yet. My mind is not allowing the possibility of a Hillary coronation yet, because I don't believe it will happen. This country is tired of Bush-Clinton.

[Cleita]

12. He's such an ass!

On the bright side, if they end the writer's strike, that campaign will make for a lot of hilarious comedy for Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Bill Maher.

[cd3dem]

13. SARCASM... if you listen to Pat regularly... he is less bias than most...

he is one of the few who has not pushed the media BS... and I am ashamed of the number of democratic commentators that are more biased than a right winger like PB

[robbedvoter]

22. He's just more subtle at attacking our candidates - master of dirty tricks

Pushes his own BS - it's always more poisonous than the others - a bit more subtle, but worse.

[cd3dem]

26. I disagree... he says he disagrees with the dems on policy but he doesn't take sides

he is one of the few who is not on the Obama Media Love Boat

[robbedvoter]

29. Obviously he has been more open about the Hillary hate in this particular statement than

the ones professing Obama love instead of it. But pay attention - he is really doing no Dem any favors - not anymore than Coulter actually "endorsed" Hillary.

[LeftishBrit]

34. Why would you expect Buchanan to like Obama?

Firstly Buchanan's far-RW, and secondly he's a fucking racist.

[cd3dem]

35. I do not say I like PB's values... just he does not push shit like some do...

if you listen to most RW republicans they trash everything democrat... Buchanan talks about strategy and what works and what does not... analyzes... he admitted that the votes he got in Florida were a mistake because of the stupid butterfly ballots... he didn't have to do that!

[Buzz Clik]

14. I'm fairly surprised to hear this when one considers ...

... the incredible stiffy Buchanan has for Hillary. On Tweety's show, he can't say enough good things about her. And now suicide? Methinks he does protest too much.

[hisownpetard]

15. Note to Pat Buchanan: Why wait for the election? Suicide is ALWAYS an option!

[Skittles]

16. have at it, Pat

do us ALL a fucking favor

[sharp_stick]

17. DO IT PAT!!

And all your followers should follow your righteous lead. God we could clean the country up a lot in just one day.

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. Can you even reach to top of the table, Pat?

Maybe if you stood on Bay's shoulders...............

[never_get_over_it]

19. Hell that is reason enough

for any of us no matter who we support to get behind Clinton.....he is such an ass....

[Guaranteed]

20. Lowest turnout ever. nt

[annie1]

23. LMAO

[Nimrod2005]

24. Excellent

[Bluebear]

25. You first Pat, we'll follow. Honest.

[ursi]

27. I thought he loved Hillary?

[Rock_Garden]

28. Hillary will mop the floor with McCain. Buchanan's right.

[renate]

30. That's encouraging, although I've heard the talking heads say different

I can't remember who but I'm pretty sure it was someone on Countdown--they said that a Clinton candidacy would unite the Republican party and get them behind McCain, but that there wouldn't be the same reaction against Obama. Other people have said that too, especially after Florida.

I hope you're right that McCain is that weak a candidate but I'm worried that an anti-Clinton kneejerk reaction and his old reputation as a maverick would be enough to get uninformed voters to vote for him.

:shrug:

[Rock_Garden]

32. Here's my reasoning, in part.

Hillary can compete better in the areas of experience and matters of national security, much better. Also, McCain has already admitted that economic policy is his weak point. That's one of Hillary's very strong areas. Hillary gives concrete plans, while McCain has done no such thing.

And look at it this way. When Hillary wins the nomination, that will put to rest any residue of "she can't win" or "She polarizes". She will already have won her party's nomination, and she will go on to win the general election.

The Democrats are holding all the winning cards in this election. We campaign, we work hard, and we win.

Obama, on the other hand, will look more weak and inexperienced when matched up against McCain. Hillary/McCain is a much better matchup for us than Obama/McCain.

Besides, Olbermann has gone to a grat deal of trouble to let it be known that he supports Obama. He has an agenda.

[H2O Man]

31. Mr. Buchanan is

a strange case. Everyone who is at least one-half Irish American has a relative who is the family Patrick Buchanan. You might enjoy chatting with him at family functions from time to time, especially if the topic is foreign affairs. He is not fun to sit near if there is drinking taking place, and the topic is about social values. And you don't want to live in the same county, much less town/city, as he inhabits.

Buchanan is interesting when it comes to MSNBC discussions about international politics. He is intelligent and knows history -- or at least Euro-American history. But he really is off the wall on domestic issues. I do not think he is comfortable with either Clinton or Obama, and I have yet to hear him put together his part of a long discussion on either, without his discomfort being evident.

[LeftishBrit]

33. Why doesn't he just take his own advice?

[sellitman]

36. I hope Anne Coulter leads the way.

Not really......... but it was sort of fun to say it in a macabre way.



:evilgrin:

[Palladin]

37. Y'all are assuming

a lot. He might not be planning on shooting himself. Or maybe the message isn't for himself. The implications/possibilities are endless.....Just a hypothesis - of course. Viva Zapata!
