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 Im not sure theyre 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 its 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

They should have kicked him off the island years ago.

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!!
