If you aren't white, it's your fault Pat Buchanan was fired

If you aren't white, it's your fault Pat Buchanan was fired
February 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."

Including all gay people. Of course what got Pat fired was Pat's own hateful writing and his arrogance.

White people also helped fire you Pat!

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.

Does that mean it's only half my fault?

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

Let that sink in a while.... then maybe lets have a toast as most of us here had a part in getting rid of this parasite on humanity.

If I want 19th century reenactments I can find them on my own. This bigot was legitimized by his constant media presence. Let's start a new era.
