Pat Buchanan Blames ‘Militant Gay Rights Groups,’ ‘People Of Color’ For Pending MSNBC Termination

Conservative commentator Pat Buchanan attacked gay rights and civil rights organizations for pressuring MSNBC network president Phil Griffin to fire him after the release of his latest book, Suicide of a Superpower. The work, which has been roundly condemned, includes chapters titled “The End of White America” and “The Death of Christian America.” “Look, for a long period of time the hard left, militant gay rights groups, militant — they call themselves civil rights groups, but I’m not sure they’re concerned about civil rights — people of color, Van Jones, these folks and others have been out to get Pat Buchanan off T.V., deny him speeches, get his column canceled,” Buchanan said during a radio interview with Sean Hannity this afternoon. “This has been done for years and years and years and it’s the usual suspects doing the same thing again. But my view is, you write what you believe to be the truth.” Buchanan said he has not received a “formal notification” of his termination from the network, although executives have hinted that he will not return to the airwaves

This should have happened much sooner. He has a right to free speech, but MSNBC doesn't have to broadcast his views. I'm very happy with this decision and I'm neither a "militant gay or person of color."

Good riddance, Unka Pat. I've been trying to get his ass fired for years. His ugliness finally caught up with him.

Y'all can thank us later when MSNBC finally fires his ass for sure.

Too bad for you Buchanan, the KKK doesn't have their own television network.
Faux Snooze is as close as you're going to get.

You were Scarbrow's favorite righty, so he could banter with you while he pretended he wasn't a racist because he wasn't nearly as vocal as you!

Matthews had you on his program all of the time to show people what a huge racist POS you really are!!

Now you're gone.
Boo-fucking-hoo!
Cry me a river, scumbag!!
