Pat Buchanan is a racist POS

[loveangelc]

I was just watching the show that ocmes on after keith olbermann, and he told the black woman on there to "shut up and let me talk" while he wanted to continue to make the case (as he always does) this somehow hurts Obama's campaign. I have never seen him say that to anyone. Pat Buchanan should be ashamed of himself! He would not have told a white male to "shut up" I am really saddened to see this. I think it's not a coincidence that he defends Hillary Clinton about every little thing.

1. Kill the Irish

that'll make him sweat.

[Bright Eyes]

9. Except me, right?

:hide:

[mod mom]

22. why didn't Abrams demand an apology? disgusting!

[grassfed]

23. Irish don't claim him

Buchanan's father was protestant Scots Irish, mother German catholic. He's not Irish Catholic, a big difference,

[Pirate Smile]

31. Whew. Thank goodness.

:)

[FunkyLeprechaun]

38. There's plenty of Prod Irish who could say you're wrong

My dad's a Prod and and he's proud of it. My mum's a Taig and she's descended from the Spanish Armada!

The Irish Protestants in Northern Ireland are more likely to say they're British though.

[MadBadger]

2. A Certain DUer asked us if we thought Pat was a racist too, in a mocking ton

Like a defense of Pat Buchannan. Racist, xenophobe Pat Buchannan.

[lisa58]

3. always was

[NJSecularist]

4. Pat Buchanan is just a vile human being to every color - white, black, green.

The world would be better off without Pat Buchanan.

[Catherine Vincent]

5. I don't think it makes him a racist.

It makes him a rude asshole.

[ecstatic]

11. Please! In the heat of the moment, his true colors shone through

He couldn't stand the uppity black b*tch challenging his racist Limbaugh/Ferraro-esque views so he lashed out and told her to shut up.

[Catherine Vincent]

15. I didn't watch the segment so forgive me.

And I'm not defending Buchanan but let me get this straight...if a white guy tells a black woman to shut up, he is a racist?

[shraby]

17. Telling her to shut up was just extremely rude, but

what he was saying at the time WAS racist, and he just wouldn't quit going on and on about it.

[Bright Eyes]

6. He's sexist, too.

[Xipe Totec]

7. Don't be redundant

Racist, and POS are just alternative spellings for Buchanan.

[nebula]

49. So is douchebag

[Nitrogenica]

He desparately wants her to win the nomination so he can tear her down

in November.

[monmouth]

12. I notice Tweety gets a little frustrated with him also...n/t

[high density]

8. He's been shut down at least twice tonight

First Rachel and her observation about Utah

Then Dan's comment about the Eurail ticket.

[FormerDittoHead]

10. He constantly says that to everyone. "Racist" is starting to sound like "wolf".

Buchanan IS a racist, but this example proves nothing.

Let's save it for when people really say something racist.

[DemVet]

13. How is telling someone to shutup racist?

It's not.

Just another example of things getting out of control on this board.

[Catherine Vincent]

16. That's what I'm saying.

If a white guy tells a black woman to shut up, is that racist?

[JenniferJuniper]

18. I think the question is

would he have said it to someone else?

I can't answer it because I don't watch enough of him. But Rachel Maddow specifically said she'd never heard him say that to anyone else, and he definitely said it in a particularly nasty, condescending fashion.

But Pat is a nasty, condescending guy, so maybe he tells fellow guests to shut up all the time.

[DemVet]

47. Would he have said it to someone else? Yes, I believe he would.

[EffieBlack]

50. Rachel Maddow called him on it - told him she had been in many heated discussions

with him and had never once heard him tell anyone to shut up and that he was out of line.

I saw that segment. He was condescending and frustrated that this uppity black woman was challenging him on an issue on which he is one of the nation's foremost experts - race.

[DemVet]

52. The problem with calling something or someone racist when it's not

...is just like crying wolf. People become immune to it and turn a deaf ear.

[EffieBlack]

53. Who called anyone a racist?

Trust me - the immunity/deaf ear has nothing to do with anyone having grown weary of being called a racist. The people are immune and turn a deaf ear to these matters because they don't care - and these are usually the people who continue to tolerate, defend and perpetuate racism in this country.

[meow mix]

21. you would know..

fu

[meow mix]

19. oh f-u.. he made plenty of racist comments and defended the Racist Geraldine

"shutup" was just the tip of the ice berg, try not being so stupid for once.

[ampad]

25. Thank you and I second that FU

What he was saying at the time was racist. He didn't like what the black woman was saying and his anger along with his true colors really came out.

[DemVet]

48. NO, it was not racist.

I guess a white guy arguing with a black woman is "racist" now. Geez....

[JenniferJuniper]

14. But it gave Rachel Maddow

a great opening to call the slime bag out. And he couldn't even respond.

Abrams is a a wimp, though.

[Birthmark]

20. Now, see?

Pat really is a racist POS.

[backscatter712]

24. Pat Buchanan has a looooooooong history of being a racist POS.

This isn't the first time he's went over the line, and it certainly won't be his last.

[BumRushDaShow]

26. Buchannan was in his usual top form

:eyes:

Seriously - he is one of the granddaddies of the Goldwater-lovers who worshipped Ronald Reagan and has the unique experience of having been born and raised in D.C. He is scum BUT... he is also an isolationalist and protectionist and has actually been dissing Bushler since the man was elected to office. He, along with his cohorts George Will and Peggy Noonan and even Robert Novak, have been lamenting the destruction of the Republican party and it has been a special treat to see them finally wake up and admit to the end of their party. I was actually surprised when he even outright admitted that "75 % of Catholics voted for JFK" in reference to the nonsense being spewed about which demographics are voting for which candidates and their alleged reasons why.

He is boorish but I do know that these types of shows get ratings based on such theatrics for the entertainment value.

[Thepricebreaker]

27. ok HOW IS IT RACIST? Its rude not racist...

Wtf? So if he tells a white person to shut up its rude, but a black person its racist?

See this is the problem. Disrespect a woman its sexist.. and a black person - racist... how about its simply rude and put it under the umbrella of EVERYONE IS THE FUCKING SAME.

[Catherine Vincent]

32. Some here said what Pat was talking about before was racist.

I didn't watch so I'm not sure.

[Exilednight]

28. Does anyone know the name of the woman who he told to shut up?

[UALRBSofL]

33. No, I think she is new

Don't recall her name. But, Pat is as old as Methuselah and he's been around a long time and he has told many folks to shut up before.

[1776Forever]

40. Here is the video link from the Abrams Show - Keli Goff is her name

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/23602264#23602264

[K Gardner]

29. He also said Obama was "deluded" if he didn't think he was where he is b/o being black.

[mtnsnake]

30. I guess you dont watch him too often. I've seen him tell people of all colors & genders to shut up

and that includes white men who get so carried away with interrupting him that he loses his cool and turns rude on them.

Does it make it right if he told her to shut up? No, it doesn't, but don't go making like she's the only one he ever told to shut up, and don't turn it into some racial issue just because you feel like turning anything and everything into one.

[Benhurst]

35. Yeah, Pat is an equal opportunity lout.

[mtnsnake]

36. Yup

[stillcool]

34. Yes he is.

and he always has been, and I expect he always will be.

[bullwinkle428]

37. Took you this long to figure this out? I'm Jewish, and he has a special

level of hate for us as well, so maybe that makes me more sensitive to his bile...I wish KO would call him out on his shit on occasion, but MSNBC brass probably wouldn't allow that.

[goclark]

44. Does he own MSNBC

They pull him out every hour on the hour and he takes over/
The let him take over and others get to say nothing.

[1776Forever]

39. This goes to show you how much the Repub's want HRC to be the candidate -

Rush and Pat and how many others have tried to build HRC up! Isn't it getting to be obvious?

:shrug:

[VolcanoJen]

41. He's not just a racist.

He's a racist, xenophobic crypto-facist. The mere fact that he's full-throated in his defense of Geraldine Ferraro reinforces my gut feeling that I'm 100% on the right side of this issue.

[1776Forever]

42. Here is the video link -

[fujiyama]

43. Pat Buchanan has a history of racist, antisemetic and xenophibic remarks

Nothing new for him. I didn't watch the segment, because personally I can't stand Buchanan's whiny, shrill voice. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard.

[geek tragedy]

45. Not surprisingly, he's pulling for Clinton. n/t

[Mass]

46. He is racist and antisemitic, but I think that in this case, it is just his ego speaking.

As many people, he thinks he is so smart that we should just stop and listen when he speaks. A lot of people are like that, particularly at DU.

[Ordr]

51. So he's racist for telling a black woman to shut up?

Comments like these are what lessen people's conception of real racism.

[Omega3]

54. he told her to shut up b/c she kept interrupting him and SHE WAS being rude, , I suppos

I'm racist for saying that,

more faux outrage from the Obots!

[Upton]

55. He performs a useful service

His undying support of Hillary Clinton ought to give even her most ardent supporter pause. For the rest of us, Buchanan confirms what we already knew about the Clinton campaign.
