When Pat Buchanan prints a magazine cover like this
With the lead article by a person such as Glenn Greenwald you know the man has gone off the deep-end. Ok, to be honest, we know the man has been nuts for many years….but come on.
To top it all off LGF has this photo of Pat meeting:
Filip DeWinter and Frank Vanhecke of the Belgian ultra-nationalist party Vlaams
Belang, earlier this year:
Classic. A anti-semite is calling out Rudy as Hitler.
I’m telling ya…classic!
But that’s not the end to this thread. Now Pat says that if Fred takes fourth in Iowa he will bow out and support McCain.
Is this the man we should trust to tell us this kind of information?
Apparently Allah trusts him…..shocker! No bias in his postings right?
I’m going to enjoy, in a schadenfreudean way, the splash of cold water in the face of the Fredheads on Jan. 3.Allahpundit on December 20, 2007 at 10:44 PM
I have to tell ya, the use of Rudy as some kind of Hitler is just disgusting. He is not my first choice for President but the man can lead. He has proven that. Mitt hasn’t. Hell, even Fred hasn’t. Not one of them has had to endure what Rudy endured as a leader of people during a crisis, and he passed with flying colors.
To try and portray him as some kind of Hitler is just wrong, disgusting, and unforgivable..
David Horowitz said it best about Pat’s type of leadership:
Prominent among the articulators of Euro-racialism are Peter Brimelow who writes for the website Vdare, and Pat Buchanan whose best-selling book The Death of the West articulates its most familiar version. If Buchanan’s last electoral run is any indication, Euro-racialism is a still a fringe prejudice among conservatives. But if it were to emerge as the view of conservatives themselves, it would in my view mean the death of the conservative movement. Since I consider the conservative movement the last bulwark in the defense of America and the West, it would ironically also fulfill the prophecy in the title of Buchanan’s book.
Pat’s been off the deep end for quite some time, it’s been quite telling watching those who follow him off the cliff.

Considering Pat’s success in some of the primaries, a better take would be that ‘Euro-racialism can still be contained’. More generally, while Vlaams Belang is a radical fringe group, I think Europe would benefit from some sort of increased nationalism and cultural pride (though not with a racial foundation). The current problems with Muslim immigration and lack of assimilation stem largely from multiculturalism run amok; Vlaams Belang is just the most extreme part of the general backlash. Further, I’d say that anyone who claims that ‘Euro-racialism’ doesn’t play a large part in the US movement against illegal immigration is being disingenuous.
Funny to see Greenwald writing a crossover piece for AmCon. Politics makes strange bedfellows I guess.
The path to the white house is littered with the bodies of contenders and pretenders, most of the bodies placed there by nasty down right dirty tricks. Greenwald is a useful Idiot.
Well, I was shocked anyway. I went over to Hot Air this morning, saw the Buchanan thread, scrolled down and saw Allahpundit’s comment. My jaw dropped for a moment, then I deleted my Hot Air bookmark and left.
Curt – I stopped reading HotAir over their “Brutal Fred Hat” post. That was pathetic. And to see AllahPundit, Bryan Preston AND Michelle Malkin all posting on that comments section criticizing Fred clinched it for me. I lost all respect for them over that thread. There are a few commenters there who showed up in the evening who smacked around the people who were making a big deal out of the hat thing, but overall that site, with AllahPundit leading the way, has gotten ridiculous. They are just as bad as the mass media in their tabloid postings and condescension for their readers.
I think that is why I put it into the post guys. For a guy who tries so hard to be down the middle, never taking any side, to say something like that kinda surprised me.
But at least its out there for all to see, unlike reporters who have the same kind of biases but pretend to have no opinion one way or another and insist their biases never seep into their reporting.
You will find all of Pat’s followers in the fantasy or comic book section at the book store. It’s dawned on him that no one cares what he says but he is still given the right to say it by better men/women than him. In his dream world government you wouldn’t have the same rights.
I’m kinda surprised they didn’t put Ron Paul on the cover given his addiction to NeoNAZI funding and his alleged support for NAZIs (they clearly support him).
addiction to NeoNAZI funding
Yeah, identified neonazis make up 0.002% of his funding. Maybe other ones not yet identified bring it up to 0.2%. Whatever will he do, being so dependent on them?
and his alleged support for NAZIs
Alleged by who? All I’ve seen so far is guilt-by-association, no allegations of actual support.
BTW, ‘NAZI’ is not really an acronym (more of a shortening a la ‘Commie’ or the like), so the capitalization is a little out of place.

Well Pat does know how to go over the top from time to time.
But I found his analysis of the GOP race very interesting:

I don’t agree with all of it, but some of what he’s saying has been running around inside my head. What if we are down to a Mitt vs. Mike race?
It’s not the most pleasant prospect for 2008, but it could happen.
If it gets down to a Mitt vs Mike race, it’s Mitt for me. Actually, I prefer Thompson…and was really surprised to see that on MM’s site, her poll (yesterday) came up with something like 45% Thompson preference.
And the poll included options for “none of the above” and “God help us”!
Mike -
Curt already linked to the Buchanan article in his post.
And yes, Mitt is better than Mike.
The Huck campaign may have taken their “schadenfreudean way” of raising his popularity too far by accusing Rush of being a part of the East Coast liberal axis. Even when Ann Coulter inexplicably attacks Huck for not being Christian enough of all things, you could pin that label on her. But Rush and the East Coast elite? They may have taken on the wrong guy this time, I can’t imagine the smackdown they got from Rush today helping him as much.
bbartlog: Thanks, but I knew Curt linked to Pat Buchanan’s piece. I just wanted to make it easier for any reader who wanted to read it.
Meanwhile, did you see the stuff about Ron Paulites worrying that their votes would be stolen?

You’re too intelligent to hang with that crowd much longer bbart. Remind me again… who is your second choice?
