Pat Buchanan Advertises His Book On Neo-Nazi Radio Show


You read that right. On June 29th, MSNBC personality and three-time presidential candidate Pat Buchanan appeared on a neo-Nazi radio program to promote his new revisionist history of the Second World War, Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War: How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World. James Edwards is the host of the program "Political Cesspool," the stated mission of which is to "represent a philosophy that is pro-White." Edwards and his colleauges seek "to revive the White birthrate above replacement level fertility and beyond to grow the percentage of Whites in the world relative to other races" and believe that "Secession is a right of all people and individuals. It was successful in 1776 and this show honors those who tried to make it successful in 1865."
According to the researchers at the Anti-Defamation League, who listened to the show, Buchanan defended Charles Lindbergh, saying, "…his reputation has been blackened because of a single speech he gave and a couple of paragraphs in it where he said that … the Jewish community is beating the drums for war … but frankly, no one has said what he said was palpably untrue."

Buchanan is in good company. Perusing the guest list of Political Cesspool, one sees Willis Carto, (perhaps the most prominent anti-Semite in America), Mark Weber (Director of the Institute for Historical Review, a Holocaust denial outfit) and Jared Taylor, the editor of American Renaissance, a eugenicist publication. A political cesspool indeed. Calling Buchanan a "brownshirt" a few weeks ago may have seemed a little impertinent at the time, but it's entirely accurate.

As someone with an interest in the far-right and who has been following Buchanan's career for quite some time now, none of this is particularly surprising to me. What is surprising is that this man continues to fill airtime on MSNBC.

2. Didn't you know he's one of them?

He may not be a card carrying one, but their anti-semitism and racism fits right in with Buchanan's anti-semitism and racism.

5. I have stated this for YEARS here on DU...

when someone posts something like: "I was listening to Buchanan and he made a lot of sense when he said that..." or "I usually don't agree with Buchanan but he said that..." I am dumbfounded. the guys is the first step in the eventual minimizing/denying of the Holocaust, of al that's right with America, and our proud heritage when we're allowed to admit that we are a 'melting pot' (or tossed salad) by idiots like "Pat". He's a grinning, fascist shithead...

6. I agree with you...

I have hated his guts ever since he wrote an article defending LePen, one of the nastiest people in Europe.

If Buchanan had been around 70 years ago, he'd have been pro-Nazi. He doesn't even pretend otherwise.
