If you aren't white, it's your fault Pat Buchanan was firedFebruary 18, 2012
Noted racist homophobe and anti-Semite Pat Buchanan was booted from MSNBC today, four months after he was suspended following publication of his book "Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?" in which Buchanan laments "the end of White America." In an unhinged rant on the website of his magazine, The American Conservative, Buchanan blamed his firing on Jews, gays, Diane Rehm and Bill Clinton, and implied he was upholding Jeffersonian ideals. No, Pat, you were fired because you are an awful human being who writes hate speech like this: "Nothing in the Constitution or federal law mandated social, racial, or gender equality."

Then again, I guess Pat would also blame me for his firing because I'm an atheist, hence I made the country 'godless' according to him.

In any case, I'm glad Buchanan is gone. He should have been gone a long time ago.
