"I want to be able to understand him," she said. "I want to go in there not with an ax but with a scalpel and try to figure out what motivates him, where do his values come from, and try to get people to open up in a way they don't have the opportunity to open up."

Buchanan, for his part, thought it was "was an opportunity to get our message out and de-demonize ourselves."

Birch asked Buchanan about his family and how his Catholic and conservative beliefs were formed. Buchanan talked about the Reagan administration's view of AIDS with an insider's perspective and about how his polarizing speech at the 1992 Republican national convention came about.

1. you can't de-demonize demons

And that's exactly what fascist genocidal maniacs like Buchanan are.

He and his ilk deserve Nuremberg trials a la Julius Streicher, not debate on talk shows.
