I just don't get it. MSNBC, which, by the by, is the liberal cable show, has as a regular feature none other than Mr. Pat Buchannan. And if they're giving jobs to Pat, I assume they're giving jobs to anyone with a pulse.
Yes, MSNBC is the Tara Reid of cable journalism.
Here's just a recent glimmer of the wonder that is Pat Buchanan:
What of World War II? Surely, it was necessary to declare war to stop Adolf Hitler from conquering the world and conducting the Holocaust.
Yet consider. Before Britain declared war on him, Hitler never demanded return of any lands lost at Versailles to the West. Northern Schleswig had gone to Denmark in 1919, Eupen and Malmedy had gone to Belgium, Alsace and Lorraine to France.
Why did Hitler not demand these lands back? Because he sought an alliance, or at least friendship, with Great Britain and knew any move on France would mean war with Britain — a war he never wanted.
[...]
That Hitler was a rabid anti-Semite is undeniable. “Mein Kampf” is saturated in anti-Semitism. The Nuremberg Laws confirm it. But for the six years before Britain declared war, there was no Holocaust, and for two years after the war began, there was no Holocaust.
Not until midwinter 1942 was the Wannsee Conference held, where the Final Solution was on the table.
That conference was not convened until Hitler had been halted in Russia, was at war with America and sensed doom was inevitable. Then the trains began to roll.
[...]
The Holocaust was not a cause of the war, but a consequence of the war. No war, no Holocaust.
It's that last line, in particular, that's magical. Because, if it weren't for those darned Allies, poor Hitler wouldn't have had to start the Holocaust. Jesus.
Want more? Here's about 2,000 more words of bile, if you can stomach it.
How the hell does this guy still have a job.
Quick Note: Updated as I mistakenly called 'Pat Buchanan' 'Pat Robertson.'I think that, though Pat Robertson has many, many flaws, he is not a Hitler apologist. Sorry about that Pat.
