Pat Buchanan Speaks His Mind on Race Relations

Buchanan was a guest on the G. Gordon Liddy Show.........


A Moment of Silence for the comments below:
Election 2012
Buchanan: ‘White America’ Died Last Night
Nov. 07, 2012
Conservative political pundit Pat Buchanan stoked controversy today by claiming that Barack Obama's reelection has 'killed White America'.
The paleoconservative nativist is no stranger to racial controversy, having previously been accused of writing books with racist and anti-semitic undertones.
But the former Nixon advisor was more explicit on the G. Gordon Liddy Show this morning. When asked for his reaction to Obama's victory, Buchanan replied brazenly:
"White America died last night. Obama's reelection killed it. Our 200 plus year history as a Western nation is over. We're a Socialist Latin American country now. Venezuela without the oil."
Stunned by his clear racisim, Liddy tried to walk his guest back from the ledge:
"With what you just said right there...You seem to imply that white people are better than other people. That's not really what you're saying is it?"
"Of course that's what I'm saying," Buchanan replied "Isn't it obvious? Anything worth doing on this Earth was done first by white people."
"Who landed on the moon? White people. Who climbed Mount Everest? White people. Who invented the transistor? White people. Who invented paper? White people. Who discovered algebra? White people."
"And don't give me all this nonsense about Martin Luther King and civil rights and all that. Who do you think freed the slaves? Abraham Lincoln. A white guy!"
Carte Blanche
"But we're not led by Lincoln anymore, we're led by an affirmative-action mulatto who can't physically understand how great America once was."
"I cried last night G. I cried for hours. It's over for all of us. The great White nation will never survive another 4 years of Obama's leadership"
Liddy tried to reason with Buchanan, reminding him that he shares similar positions with the President on Afghanistan, Iraq, and relations with Russia:
"Of course I agree with half of what he does," Buchanan answered, "He's half white! That's not the half I'm worried about."
Buchanan served as a speechwriter in the Nixon White House. He was fired as an MSNBC analyst this year following the publication of a book many considered to be racist.

...an "affirmative-action mulatto" has his finger on America's nuclear button, because I know he will never press it.

I think MSNBC kept him on the air way too long.

Unfortunately, I think there are many who feel the same as he does, which is why we can't get anything done in this country. The lack of respect for President Obama is appalling.

Yes, Buchanan has been called on his racist remarks...

hence why the 'story' you originally quoted sounded so 'lifelike'......

"Who landed on the moon?


A couple white PEOPLE; but, not the White race.

Who climbed Mount Everest?


Several more white people; but, not the white race.

Who invented the transistor?


Three White people; but not the white race.

Who invented paper?


A chinese inventor; not the white race.

Who discovered algebra?


An Arab Mathematician; not the white race.

Why do white people as a race get credit for the positive accomplishment of an individual white person (even, those of non-white people according to pat) and none of the blame for the bad act of a white person ; whereas, non-whites get the blame of the bad act of a non-white person and none of the credit for a non-white person's accomplishments?

Pat ... You get credit for landing on the moon when you accept the blame for Jeffrey Damher, Manson and Hitler.

No matter how little he has, he's always willing to give.
