McCain Camp Denies that Sarah Palin was a Member of the Buchanan Brigades in the 1990s

PAT Buchanan IS always RIGHT!
Sarah Palin knows it.

Long live Richard Nixon and long live his legacy! RN Forever!

I am Michael D'Antonio and I approve this message.

Give me a break. Pat Buchanan is more of an America-first patriot than Wexler could ever dream of being. Pat is no anti-Semite.

I admire Sarah Palin for showing the good sense to support Pat Buchanan, a man who ALWAYS puts the interest of his own country FIRST...unlike the profiteers who control both the Democratic and Republican parties and barely throw a bone to We the People.

I still think the best quote about Pat Buchanan was the one the late Molly Ivins made about his address to a National GOP Convention: "It sounded better in the original German." His class warfare techniques follows the the populist portion of Nazi ideology that brought Hitler to power that was abandoned in the night of the Long Knives when that portion of the party was liquidated.

Are Pat's quotes any worse or anti-semetic than Rev. "God DAMN America" and "US of KKK" Wright? (I HATE calling him Reverend.. becuase Christ sure as hell wouldnt approve of his views)

Why is there such a double standard? We can compare McCain and Palin to anyone with a TWINGE of racsism and that must be what they think. But Obama can go to a RACIST church for 20 yrs and have MANY other nefarious associations and NO ONE holds his feet to the fire for this...

Damn the liberal media in this country I say... I cant wait for they day when the Dems take over all media and Hollywood (its happening now...fairness doctrine anyone) and only allow "Govrenment Approved" news and media to be let out to the public.

Why couldn't Palin just admit that she was a Buchanan supporter? I like her even more because she was. What this seems like is her first manipulation by the media. The media hates Buchanan and always has. I think she's being less than honest. Why is it unacceptable to say you were a supporter of Buchanan? I voted for him in 2000, and I tell people all the time. I'm not ashamed of it. In fact, I'm proud of it--especially after seeing how looney Bush really is.

Shoot...Friday she's announced, I enjoy a nice Labor Day weekend, trying like the dickens to stay away from this crap.
Come back today, and they have this gal and her daughter tarred and feathered..

Boy, Mac has scared the crap of of these force-fed Geese. lmao

People have to understand that almost NOBODY of national prominence ever comes to Alaska. When they do, it's a big deal. If you're into politics, Pat Buchanan is quite famous. Many Americans don't consider nationalism to be a dirty word. We love our country, and place her prosperity above all others. That doesn't mean we support Buchanan's anti-semetic views.

Regarding this whole Buchanan fracas... how many people do you think have actually read the quotes by Mr. Buchanan on that link provided? And furthermore, how many people have actually read his books, not just the singular sentences or quotations selected by his enemies?

Pat Buchanan is a strong supporter of Israeli autonomy and prosperity and has NEVER been a Nazi sympathizer. His greatest strength has simply been his greatest fault at times - he can be too honest and too clear as to be non-politically correct. He tends to say the things many of us think but never say, at least publicly. So easy it is to be taken out of context!

One of the examples cited as "anti-jew": "I know the power of the Israeli lobby and the other lobbies, but we need a foreign policy that puts our own country first."

What's wrong with this statement? How are any of his comments about the powerful Israeli lobby in Washington "anti-semitic"? Is it equally wicked to criticize Chinese influence in our political process? Is there some FANCY, RACIST term for talking negatively about CHINESE influence?

It's incredible how imbicile and elementary some political adults can be.

Rep. Wexler said: "Pat Buchanan is a Nazi sympathizer with a uniquely atrocious record on Israel, even going as far as to denounce bringing former Nazi soldiers to justice and praising Adolf Hitler for his 'great courage.'"

This is absolute character assasination and completely untrue, and it sickens me that an elected official can get away with spewing this crap about another public figure. His "record on Israel is simply of frustration over mis-prioritized U.S. Foreign policy and he never "praised Hitler for his great courage"... he noted that Adolf's strong leadership abilities allowed him to manipulate an entire nation to endorse terrible policies... something Pat warns us to be careful of in our own nation.

Ironically, bloggers on DailyKos or HuffPost would find Pat Buchanan a friend of theirs on foreign policy. Maybe they should shut up long enough to figure that out. I am glad that Sarah Palin saw through the rubbish and I hope she sees as Buchanan does how arrogant American foreign policy has been since Harry Truman was President.

Some of the Wexler types on this comment section are hilarious (in a sad way). Quite frankly, I'd be even more eager to vote for a ticket with Gov. Palin on it if she were a Buchanan Brigader! Just think, someone in the White House who would end illegal immigration, negotiate fair trade agreements instead of giving away the store like we are currently doing, stand up for traditional values and stop trying to be the worlds policeman. Now that would be something to look forward to!!!

I happen to be very pro-Israel and also supported Buchanan's runs for President. As someone else pointed out, If there's someone I agree with on 90% of the issues, I'm not going to abandon them over one issue. Those that make the neo-cons (or neo-libs for that matter) middle east policy the be all and end all of their political ideology do great harm to this country.

Sen. OBAMA, if you are truly genuine and honest with your promise of CHANGE in the White House, why not make that CHANGE in CONGRESS and the MEDIA. I think these two groups are the CANCER of our society and a shame for the country.
If you can promise that, then I'll take
Biden, Hilary and Bill credible in their speech that you are "ready to become president".
I'll vote for you and campaign for you.

Steve, I couldn't agree more with you. Ron Paul, is a decent and honorable man, a thinker, a man who has delivered thousands of human beings into the world as a doctor, but no, NO!, he isn't good enough for brainwashed, sheepish, Americans who every four years dutifully go to the polls, to elect the same type of people who have brought the nation to its knees. We can't give Dr. Paul a chance, even though we could vote for someone else four years later. Oh no, that would be too radical, compared to a guy to says we might have to be in "Iraq for 100 years, or a guy who has been sitting in a church with a racist preacher for twenty years. I guess he didn't listen, he didn't inhale. We Americans have become sick, scared, addicted to comfort, valueless human beings. Sorry, just my opinion.

Pat Buchanan is right on a host of issues- 80% - and wrong on 20% - that's not a bad record. To run from support of Pat because of 20% of his views is silly. I could say, Bush is right 20% and wrong 80% - and has done far more damage to the GOP, the US economy and its future potential, along with open borders, a way of amassing power to the executive branch, picking the WRONG enemues while supporting groups that actually have done us harm - support of narco-states Mexico and Kosovo - growing government faster than LBJ - still not fixing the US military or supporting them with increase in pay - making Russia an enemy over yet one more regime change effort in far reaches of Europe on the Russian borders - the list goes on and on and on. Buchanan has a case of hissy over Israel's influence on the US, as for historical take on World War II - no worse than Bush's lack of understanding on the US Constitution or sitting back as manufacturing jobs go to China and the US economy is centralized in state run central banks - think Federal Reserve and the usual suspects - if a up and coming pol runs from any republican - it should be George W and his ilk. Bush I and II did to republicans and conservative movement what democrats and our worst enemies could not -- sold off the good parts and run the rest into the ground.

I keep hearing Palin would be one heartbeat away should McCain die in office. So what, elect a great speaker of the house who is strong on any issues she's weak on. He or she would be the new vice president to her. The McCain dying in office senerio does not fly. Mcain's not dead and Obama would be in charge when nobody has to die. What if Biden dies you bunch of what ifer's. Makes no sense to keep bringing that stupid argument up.

Ron Paul has my vote....

Slomo, you wrote: "What if we're in a war and McCain dies. She's in charge?"

WE ARE AT WAR RIGHT NOW! And you want to elect Sen. Obama--who has less executive experience than Gov. Palin--putting him in charge rightaway! DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?

It's now being reported in the Jerusalem Post that Joe Biden may have said that Israel needs to learn to live with a nuclear Iran.

Um, Pat just became a very small part of our campaign, since Joey is one step away from the Prez, at least as wannabee at this stage.

Johny McCain will pounce all over this one, folks. Just Sayin'.

Much to do about NOTHING. Wexler, the supposed congressman from my district and general embarrassment, should be the last one to cast stones. If this the best left's got, be content with the house and senate come November.

# one pick should've been Alan Keyes, number 2 Buchannan, 3 - Palin.
Pat B. is a patriotic American, 100%

Wexler says "It is frightening that John McCain would select someone one heartbeat away from the presidency who supported a man who embodies vitriolic anti-Israel sentiments."

And yet Wexler supports a man (Obama) who worked and was friends with Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi -- a harsh critic of Israel who reportedly worked on behalf of the PLO when it was labeled a terror group by the State Department. He was also close friends with the IR-reverend Jeremiah Wright who often preached a one-sided story of evil Israel attacking innocent Palestinians and presented a lifetime achievement award to Louis Farrakhan. And there's much more. If Wexler is so critical of McCain for doing something that isn't even true, how could he -- or any Jew for that matter -- support Obama.

What if we're in a war and McCain dies. She's in charge? This seems like a desperate move by somebody I thought was finally doing all right. Doesn't make sense.
