That is what they are. Name callers with little understanding of anything else. It is so much easier to call names like that than to extend examples.

It hasn't slowed down in the last 30 years and probably will not slow down the next 30 years no matter what promise is made by a Politician of either party.

I think his personality - style of delivery, behavior - is what turns-off many people. Cocky. Disrespectful. Often over-the-top with his commentary. An "entertainer" as compared to a traditional analyst. I recognize he's a guy with substantial background in government and politics and I appreciate some of his comments. He's a bit out-of-step with his party at the moment. On the outside, looking in. His value has diminished, as someone in the know. If you've listened to him a half dozen times, after that the rhetoric doesn't change too much. So I don't care to listen to him. Been there. Done that.

Steele, the past head of the GOP, is still going strong on MSNBC.
He must have enough progressivism in him to be kool.

Give us an example to prove your point. Thanks.

Of course you guys love him though.
The definition of "racist" of course being anything or anyone you disagree with.

Its an empty accusation now.

What's classless? If you're asserting racism by the use of the word "jive"....you should come forth and come clean instead of veiled accusations.

Buchanan is, has been, and always will be a racist. He's a throwback to the worst of the 1930's. Also has a long history of defending Nazi mass murderers. He's rightist to the extreme (and I am definitely NOT a liberal).
That MSNBC chose him to be their house conservative makes sense. They couldn't have found a better scoundrel. He shames conservatism.
For the neoisolationists and Buchanan lovers. He has a dark, very dark side.
Here's an example of the sick and extreme view of history presented by your hero:
Why is Pat Buchanan's website playing host to Holocaust deniers?
Pat Buchanan Blames Britain For Holocaust
Well, there was no Holocaust. But if there was, it's Britain's fault. He's been an ardent defender of Nazi war criminals.

Buchanan's bigotry and extremism goes back many years. Here are his views on African-Americans, immigrants, Jews, gays, women, and democracy:
PAT BUCHANAN, ANTISEMITISM AND THE HOLOCAUST
The fact that he is given an outlet on mainstream media is a disgrace. He is still employed by NBC. They should be swamped with complaints.
