On "Hardball," Republican strategist Pat Buchanan makes an argument that Judge Sonia Sotomayor is "a militant liberal" as well as unqualified to be Supreme Court Justice.

Eugene Robinson disagrees, saying he thinks "militant" is a "ridiculous" way to describe her.

1. I only wish.... n/t

[trumad]

2. Yeah Pat---and you're a Facist Douchebag.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

3. I love Eugene Robinson...

He's always such a gentleman. Too much of a gentleman for hardball, really.

[LaurenG]

4. Pat is a grumpy old man.

I don't know anyone who has respect for anything he says. :eyes:

[SemiCharmedQuark]

5. It's worse than taht. He called her a militant latina.

[rurallib]

6. It is well past time for MSNBC dump Buchanan

let him take his racism and hatred to FUX where he will fit right in.

ETA - so what if Sotomayor is a "militant"? One could easily make the case that Roberts, Alito, Rehnquist,Powell,Scalia adinfinitum are militants. They are just militants for Patty's side.

7. To Pat, any woman who stands up for herself is militant.

He's a smeghead.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

8. He actually sat there and said "EVERYONE graduates Summa Cum Laude" from Princeton.

9. Overtly racist-Pat Buchanan, nt

10. so...there is something wrong with that?!?!

sounds good to me

[MrsBrady]

11. my husband and I saw that last night...

we were both laughing at Pat.

You could just "feel" the eye rolling, but like someone else said, Eugene is too polite.

I don't know why they keep that racist idiot on payroll. I guess he's the token white racist...but who really wants that?
Wouldn't he do better at Fox. Seems he would fit in there. :eyes:

12. From your lips to God's ears, Mr. Buchanan.

I hope he is right about the liberal part!!!!

14. Close scrutiny of Pat Buchanan reveals his disdain of all women

I have observed during his run for President, where he had to have the standard image of a faithful wife, standing beside him, Pat's wife always stood well behind him, never was introduced, never spoke, etc. You rarely, if ever see photo's of Pat with his spouse or family. Does he have any children?

Pat's frustration with his failure to attain anything other than a rambling mouthpiece for the Republican Party is becoming more and more obvious and his frustrated ramblings are now truly reflecting his racist and bigoted true self. The actions of the Obama Administration and their ability to ignore this little yapping man, only increases the little mans frustration.

Be sure to watch the Rachel Maddow show today and see how Pat interacts with an extremely well informed intelligent woman.

13. "Sara Palin is accomplished on her own right"

yeah her "right" to lie and quit when she gets caught.
or could it be that Sotomayor is just not "right" enough for pat.

[fascisthunter]

15. ironic statement coming from a wing racist fanatic

whose agenda is to push America away from a democracy and into fascism.

[tomm2thumbs]

16. if Pat weren't a nutbag controversial, he's be unemployed - he's feeding his employment

it is sad to say, but Obama is right. Pat's playing his 'role' for the show just as everyone else is. This is reality TV at its worst because just like we saw during the election cycle where Peggy Noonan voiced her REAL feelings off the air, but they all get back into their 'roles' once the cameras are rolling. Unfortunately, it influences other nutjobs in the country who AREN'T playing a role and learn to hate and do damage to other human beings.

[Cali_Democrat]

17. I'm just waiting for him to call Obama the n-word on national tv

You know he really wants to. One of these days he just won't be able to contain himself.

[chasitynola]

18. Oh my,,,

:wow:

[EnviroBat]

19. Why, in the name of God, is this dopey, old bigot still on TV.

Is there an ounce of relevancy in anything he says?

[LatteLibertine]

20. I'm actually slow to suggest people are racist

and Pat has proven time and again he has some of those views.
