16. The RKBA crowd has such nice playmates,don't they?
"Pat Buchanan is not a fascist, as New York Times columnist Abe Rosenthal once charged. He's not that sincere.
This is one dangerous demagogue with a long history of hostility toward gays ("the pederast proletariat"), feminists ("the butch brigade"), women ("less equipped psychologically to 'stay the course,"') and American Jews (Israel's "amen corner"). William F. Buckley Jr. concluded that Buchanan's persistent slanders against American Jews "could not reasonably be interpreted as other than anti-Semitic in tone and in substance." His immigrant bashing has long had a racist undertone. In 1984, he argued that Americans would have to decide "whether the United States of the 21st Century will remain a white nation" and later warned about an invasion of "Zulus."
It was therefore no surprise to learn that his campaign cochairman, Larry Pratt, attended meetings with members of the Aryan Nation and other neofascist groups at which they shared a common interest in armed militias. ."

"In 1996, Larry Pratt served as Buchanan's presidential campaign co-chairman. Pratt heads Gun Owners of America, but more important, is a key figure in American militia circles. Pratt attended the infamous October 1992 militia planning session in Colorado hosted by the notorious racist Christian Identity pastor Pete Peters. Pratt has shared the stage at rallies with Aryan Nation Chief Richard Butler and former KKK leader and guerrilla warfare specialist Louis Beam. Pratt resigned after the media exposed his ties to the neo-Nazi and white supremacist fringe."
