Conservative political commentator Pat Buchanan has been fired from left-leaning news network MSNBC after more than four months of suspension, the longtime contributor revealed Thursday night.
In a lengthy screed published to his personal website, Buchanan tore into his former employer of 10 years for what he called “an undeniable victory for the blacklisters,” in which the former Nixon aide calls out MSNBC for caving to organizations like the African-American advocacy group Color of Change, LGBT advocates with Human Rights Campaign, Jewish advocates at The Anti-Defamation League and progressive media watchdog Media Matters for America.
MSNBC President Phil Griffin said recently that Buchanan’s suspension came after the publication of his latest book, “Suicide of a Superpower,” which contains a chapter called, “The End of White America.” Griffin said last month that he did not think the book belonged in the public discourse and Buchanan has been off the air since October, but news of his suspension did not break until January. At the time, MSNBC said there was no decision yet on his potential future with the network.
In that chapter, Buchanan writes: “Those who believe the rise to power of an Obama rainbow coalition of peoples of color means the whites who helped to engineer it will steer it are deluding themselves. The whites may discover what it is like to ride in the back of the bus.”
He adds: “Mexico is moving north. Ethnically, linguistically, and culturally, the verdict of 1848 is being overturned. Will this Mexican nation within a nation advance the goals of the Constitution—to ‘insure domestic tranquility’ and ‘make us a more perfect union’? Or has our passivity in the face of this invasion imperiled our union?”
In another chapter, Buchanan claims that “49 of every 50 muggings and murders in New York are the work of minorities,” saying the statistic “might explain why black folks have trouble getting a cab. Every New York cabbie must know the odds, should he pick up a man of color at night.”
But it wasn’t just his latest book — Buchanan has long courted racial controversy in his rhetoric. Last April he said that President Obama’s path to the White House was the result of “affirmative action all the way,” and in 2009 he asserted that the U.S. “has been a country built, basically, by white folks.”
In a brief statement issued Thursday night, the network said simply: “After 10 years, we have decided to part ways with Pat Buchanan. We wish him well.”

MSNBC is a division of GE/Microsoft.
How could it possibly be left wing?
No, Buchanan was fired for not towing the IsraeliFirster line.

From ADL's own site:
1999: "I know the power of the Israeli lobby and the other lobbies, but we need a foreign policy that puts our own country first."
- Meet the Press Interview. September 12, 1999.
1991: "Even if his veto of the (loan) guarantees is overridden, he will have won high marks for his courage, and exposed congress for what it has become, a Parliament of Whores incapable of standing up for U.S. national interests, if AIPAC is on the other end of the line."
- Syndicated column, December 18, 1991
1990: In an August 25,1990, column, Buchanan criticized commentators urging military intervention in Iraq, naming Abe Rosenthal, Richard Perle, Charles Krauthamer and Henry Kissinger. On August 29th, he wrote the following:
"’The civilized world must win this fight,’ the editors thunder. But, if it comes to war, it will not be the ‘civilized world’ humping up that bloody road to Baghdad; it will be American kids with names like McAllister, Murphy, Gonzales, and Leroy Brown."
- Washington Times, August 29, 1990
Can't have a man like that when the USSA is heading into another War for the Jews....;}

I found a single news blurb on this story via Google.

Israel denies the story.

This is why I doubt Pat will end up on 'faux knews'.
I think it is time for Dr. Ron Paul to name his VP pick...Patrick J. Buchanan!
Paul/Buchanan 2012.
Now tell me that that wouldn't be fun, indeed...
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
#6. To: Fred Mertz (#4)
Now why would Israel, which has gone overboard to trumpet the India/Thailand attacks,
deny this one?
The only diff I see is that in one no Israeli died...;}
It's the inconsistencies that will out the truth.
"If you are hired for fighting terrorism you want it to stay, or even increase, to continue your income.
The United States “funds the Political Security and the National Security [forces], which spend money traveling here and there, in Sanaa or in the US, with their family. All the tribes get is airstrikes against us.” He adds that counterterrorism “has become like an investment” for the US-backed units. “If they fight seriously, the funds will stop. They prolonged the conflict with Al Qaeda to receive more funds” from the United States."

That would be a smart move imo. I don't think it will happen though.

I'd prefer Jesse Ventura over Pat.

Jesse is ok but a bit to liberal.

First Napolitano and now Buchanan.
The establishment of both parties are trying to silence the true right.
Why?
Because we're catching on. Ron Paul's campaign is great evidence for this.

As much as I like Pat, it would do much more harm than good for Ron.

BINGO! It's really just one party, with two wings.

Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.

MSNBC also saw a parting of the way with very left wing commentator Keith Olbermann because both they and he had irreconcilable differences.
Pitchfork Pat should stop being a baby and find somewhere else to sell hs snake oil and stop being a baby.

NO, they fired Oberman because he violated MSNBCs policy and his contract which forbid him from donating to political candidates.

#15. To: jwpegler (#14)
Nah, would not of been mentioned had they been getting along. Keith had been up front about the donation and pointed out donations others had mad that were not ever acted upon.
That was tempest in a teapot that was used to contrive a suspention that would force the issue of MSNBC and Olbermann not getting along.

That one Also was a message from AIPAC.
Let me look it up to be sure...;}

Here it is:
"Congressman Cantor proposed making an exception for Israel that would help guarantee it $30 billion over the next decade by hiding that funding in the U.S. “defense” budget. That proposal didn’t fly, but neither has any funding of Israeli weapons been cut.
Is there any spending here in Virginia that Congressman Cantor has defended this tenaciously? Would there be if we could afford it?
Cantor is listed on Maplight.org as the top recipient of campaign money from “pro-Israel” groups in the U.S. House of Representatives, having taken in over $200,000. These groups, most of them affiliated with AIPAC, dump tens of millions of dollars into U.S. elections each cycle. And they certainly appear to get what they pay for. "
After calling Cantor out on this, olbermann was gone at the first convenient moment.
And I guess buchanan's an idiot. Always stay with One Adversary. Never Mix them up.

"The New Blacklist Patrick Buchanan My days as a political analyst at MSNBC have come to an end.
After 10 enjoyable years, I am departing, after an incessant clamor from the left that to permit me continued access to the microphones of MSNBC would be an outrage against decency, and dangerous.
The calls for my firing began almost immediately with the Oct. 18 publication of “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?”
Because AIPAC, ADL sure as Hell don't.....;}

Ron Paul and his wife are very good friends with the Romneys.
I think You're looking at a Romney/Paul ticket.
Unless the GOP Convention just goes BatSh it Crazy after the First Vote fails to nominate.....8D
BTW, BradBlog is calling the Maine Caucus Stolen.
That Paul won it. A Washington Co, I believe, that voted heavily for Paul Last Election, and publicly counted votes, got Zeroed out.

Saturday, February 18, 2012 Avoiding the mischief Unless Iran pulled off the legendary 'reverse false-flag' operation, everybody except for the Jew-controlled media has come to pretty much the same conclusion on the recent spate of attacks against Israeli targets:
1. "Who Carried Out the Terrorist Car Bombings in India, Thailand and Georgia? Iran … Or Someone Else?"
2. "Iran Seems an Unlikely Culprit for the Attacks on Israeli Diplomats"
3. "Israel, not Iran, has more to gain from blast"
4. "How the media spin Mossad's dirty tricks campaign"
The attacks were incompetent in execution, and obviously were intended to be unambiguously against Israel, while actually injuring or killing only locals (injuring the wife of the Israeli defense official in New Delhi was part of the incompetence), but were sophisticated in planning and type of weapon ....

Pegler loves it when a big corp can tell it's employees what to do with their private lives. They probably monitor their voting habits too.
Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET
