Pat Buchanan just said on MSNBC...

[W_HAMILTON]

...the reason President Obama has a higher approval rating among females (than males) is because there are a lot of young, single women that depend on the government, therefore that's why over 50% of women support him.

Really?

How is this man allowed on TV?

[Sal Minella]

1. It's Pat Buchanan, ferpetesake.

Why are you paying any attention?

[Demoiselle]

10. If you watch any of the political spew shows, you can't avoid him.

He's everywhere, like dog shit. Even on the shows I sympathize with in the MSNBC evening Liberal lineup.
Which is why I try not to watch them anymore, either. I wish I could wean my husband off them, too.

[Sal Minella]

42. I haven't had TV in my house for more than twenty years.

This results in great improvement in Quality of Life, Serenity of Thought, Intelligence of Discourse, and blood pressure.

Buchanan isn't included among the Assorted Mixed Wingnuts that Public Radio has on from time to time.

I suppose getting rid of the husband in order to get rid of the TV might seem a little extreme.

In my case, it was worth it.

[Demoiselle]

46. It's a great solution....I guess.

But I have a shameful admission. I kinda love TV. I wander around the dial and discover stuff that I really like. . (Like "House" reruns.)
And no, I don't think I'll get rid of husband. Distracting treats is probably the answer.
NPR presents a fairly and blessedly bland diet of discourse. But every once in a while, they get me screaming at them too.

[Scruffy1]

48. I got rid of a wife to get rid of a TV

The real question is why anybody turns on the propaganda machine. The only answer I have is pure mental laziness.
I think that's the appeal of the tea party. All your opinions are in the can ready for response. No thought required.

[molly77]

21. Really

Pat Buchanan has proven himself to be a Nazi.He gets by with it because he believes in the working man. Looks like ..not the working woman. Who make less than men.

[txlibdem]

51. Women make less than men, which saved them their jobs apparently

I heard on the evil propaganda box (TV) that 75% of the workers laid off or downsized out of jobs in the current recession are men. Women were spared from a lot of the pain of this recession/Bush's Depression.

[calimary]

22. Everything that old fart blaps out should be viewed through the filter of "Dear Lord

why can't I get sarah palin in bed? PLEEEEEZE just once?"

He's nothing but an angry, bitter, resentful Dirty Old Man yearning for one last roar of manhood whie still nursing a grudge that his hero, richard nixon, had to leave office prematurely.

[Renew Deal]

2. It's true

Without the government they might be treated like women in Saudi Arabia. :banghead:

[spanone]

3. pat's sale date expired about 15 / 20 years ago..

his pathetic ramblings are embarrassing

[Orrex]

4. I heard that he's so popular because he has an extra bone in his leg.

Seriously--why is Buchanan allowed on the air? If any Left commentator made statements even remotely as offensive, they'd have been banished to the dry lands years ago!

But Buchanan rolls back into the studio week after week to dispense another dose of unsubtle hate-speech.

:wtf:

[Jamastiene]

5. Pat is the crazy uncle; the one you don't let any of your children, or other loved ones

for that matter, go near him.

The man proved himself to be whacked out years and years ago. He's like a bad hot dog. He only gets worse with age.

He is not right.

[DenverDad]

15. So true!

:toast:

[rsmith6621]

6. Im Surprised He Did'nt Say...

....something like "because young women find African American males attractive"....being the racist fool he is...

[JoePhilly]

7. Pat is rapidly losing his mind.

And I need to make one tiny correction to your title ....

You can't say that Pat "said" something because his every syllable is "screamed".

He screams all his points because that way you will know that they are true.

So your title should really be ...

"Pat Buchanan just screamed on MSNBC...", that would be more accurate.

But either way, the guy is nuts.

[RKP5637]

8. Pat blurts out a lot of stuff that is often pretty strange. He's a dinosaur, always

remember that when he speaks ... It's generally a WTF whenever he voices his archaic opinions and logic.

[Ineeda]

9. No, Buchanan, you silly man. Women like the president 'cause he's hot.

:sarcasm:

[lonestarnot]

13. Guess he was too homophobic to watch him body surf.

:P

[affrayer]

11. I've Always Thought

How is this man allowed on TV?

They have him on to make everyone else appear to be smart...

[social_critic]

12. Nah, it's because they think Obama's cute

Pat doesn't understand the way women think at all. They like Obama because he's cute. If the Republicans could get a tall, good looking, black guy to run for president, and he sounded educated and said the right words, they would vote Republican by the bushel.

Politics requires a certain amount of cute-factor. But it's impossible for cute minorities to join the GOP.

[justiceischeap]

17. And lesbians? Why do we vote for him?

I grant you that some women consider the cute factor but that really does a disservice to women saying that. ;)

[Justitia]

41. I used to tell one of my RW friends that I voted for Clinton because he was cute. Not true, but

it made her CRAZY, so I loved it - ha.

[Number23]

55. Good Lord, I hope you're joking.

[Cerridwen]

14. pat also said "a religious war going on in our country"

My friends, this election is about much more than who gets what. It is about who we are. It is about what we believe. It is about what we stand for as Americans. There is a religious war going on in our country for the soul of America. It is a cultural war, as critical to the kind of nation we will one day be as was the Cold War itself. And in that struggle for the soul of America, Clinton & Clinton are on the other side, and George Bush is on our side. And so, we have to come home, and stand beside him. http://www.buchanan.org/pa-92-0817-rnc.html">link

As Molly Ivins said, "that the speech had "probably sounded better in the original German."

pat's just trying to hide his part in helping to create the current climate of hatred in the name of "religion" he helped foment in the repub party.

[patricia92243]

24. Believe it or not, I have never hear the phrase "It probably sounded better in the original German."

Absolutely priceless. I'm dying for the chance to use it :)

[Cerridwen]

25. I'm of the opinion we should start using it about limbaugh.

:D

Though I'm not sure if that helps the current climate. *sigh*

Decisions, decision. :hi:

[Botany]

16. Why didn't Pat just say, "Everybody knows that black have big *****."

Pat is the same man now that he has always has been, a bigoted bully.

[Ichingcarpenter]

18. Pat wrote/worked for Nixon, ran for President, key Speaker at RNC

For Fascist Amerika.

Why don't they remove him?..... Hell he could work for any network
in a minute.

If that tells you anything about the "Press in the States"

[Historic NY]

19. Senile old fool...........

[BeyondGeography]

20. A dead-ender, still holding the fort at Nixonland

[watercolors]

23. Need to lock him in the basement and

throw away the damn key!!! Senile

[DCKit]

26. No, Pat. Obviously it's an epidemic of Jungle Fever.

Due to the lack of universal health care, so it's still your fault.

[rurallib]

27. did he say it in the original German?

w/ a hat tip to Molly Ivins.

[Bluenorthwest]

28. He spent years attacking mostly gay people so the majority

thought he was very amusing. That is why he is on TV. Because when he said things that should have caused outrage, what he got was fan mail. So he built a huge base of haters, and lots of others who did not really mind it when he went after us. And the Jews, he's always been after them too. Like Phelps, until he started going after straights, his rhetoric was considered acceptable, just like Donnie McClurkin's is considered to be acceptable by the Obama family. What can you say?
First, he came for the gays, but I was not gay, so I tuned in!
Then he came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew....

Make a bed, you sleep in that bed.

[Tsiyu]

29. There are probably more old men supported by this government

than any other demographic, in one way or another.

Puke cannon - I mean, Buchanan is so jealous of Obama!

[Darth_Kitten]

36. ...supported by younger, working liberal women! Ta-DA!!!

:D

[Tsiyu]

44. exactamente!

:fistbump:

[MrMickeysMom]

30. How do you get to be this useless?

From the days of extreme right wing media, he's gone full circle, adding to the current nonsense a REALLY BAD COMB-OVER.

What can we expect from a misinformed pig, but a misinformed grunt?

[fascisthunter]

31. sexist idiot... duh... more women need help, duh... because, duh, they are women, duh

- idiot right winger... DUH

[Flubadubya]

34. Classist bigoted idiot as well...

Not so subtly referring to all those nasty "welfare queens" out there, of course. :puke:

[fascisthunter]

35. His Mentality towards people is so simple-minded

it's like hearing Archie Bunker on the radio

[Ichingcarpenter]

37. His Fascist Sister that gets TV airtime on all channels

Is happy because his statement makes her more powerful

[bulloney]

32. Using Buchanan's logic, Palin has a higher approval rating among men than women

because there are a lots of horny old men (like Pat) that depend on their fantasies of having sex with her to get through the day.

[texshelters]

33. Just another example of how the right can't

interpret facts or interpret data other than using it to confirm their prejudices. Sure, we all do it, but not to the extent of these nut jobs and not completely ignoring all reality in the world.

Peace,
Tex Shelters

[goforit]

38. OMG!!!... He and Scalia should have their anti-woman dinner together.

[City Lights]

39. He's on teevee because his corporate masters approve of the things he says.

I wrote emails, sent faxes, and called msnbc complaining about Unka Pat until I was blue in the face. I let them know I'd no longer tune in to any show giving him airtime. He's still there. They don't care what I think.

[Ichingcarpenter]

40. If Times were changed George Lincoln Rockwell would have

a voice on all networks as a opposing pundit.

[deminks]

43. Did Pat Buchanan write Mooselini's Blood Libel speech?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[EFerrari]

45. I was wondering the same thing.

After comparing a column of his on roughly the same topic, I think not. But he either coached it or someone used his spew for style.

[malaise]

47. Because GEM$NBC believes they can lean

forward while giving that vile racist scumbag airplay 24/7. One of these days they will lean too far forward.

[Urban Prairie]

49. Bwahaha!! Did Pat yank that statement straight out from under the asshat that he wears???

[Liberal In Texas]

50. What a Neanderthal. n/t

[Cerridwen]

52. I think Neanderthals would have "voted him off the island." n/t

[Raine]

53. So what is Pat's drooling obsession with Palin?

Must be he's enjoying the wet dreams. :puke:

[formercia]

54. Pat does it because it drives the Liberals crazy

See, it works.

Ignore the ignorant fuck.
