Pat Buchanan conducts MSNBC anti-semitic hatefest

[ruggerson]

on "Scarborough Country."

Words fail me. I have never seen something like this on television before. Where does the raw hatred stop?

[Pirate Smile]

1. What do they hate tonight?

[TwoHandedLayup]

2. at work...please inform me NT

..

[Brundle_Fly]

3. I can't even watch that show anymore...

it's always church good, good, good, coastal residents, godless, scum, evangelists good, church, Red State, church, good, questioning church bad, opinions, bad, moral values, moral values, %*&$#* #*$&#(*$*

I do not understand how anyone can watch that show.

[Brundle_Fly]

4. They don't even have opposing views on....

ugh!

[billie_]

34. no, they do not, no opposing views and all fanatics...the Rabbi is way out

as well (he is some sort of extremist like the rest of them, he is all mingled with the evangelicals) and this new "pundit" the really pretty one that is hateful as hell....from Liberty films or whatever...she is the new coulter/malkin pretty outside...evil inside spokesgal of hate!

Bill Donohue is f'ing CRAZZZZZZZZZY....he scares me...they all scare me!

it was horrible and sad. HATEFEST :(

[in_cog_ni_to]

5. What did the bigot say?

Can you give us a hint? I'm listening to Mike Malloy. He's medicine for my blood pressure. :7

[lostnfound]

Catholic League guy: 'secular Jews have always run Hollywood..'

and they can't stand Mel Gibson's movie The Passion because they hate anything that shows Christ in a favorable light..
And Hollywooders love abortions and anal sex while we love children and families and wholesome entertainment.

[Must_B_Free]

11. contradicts that amny jews view Jesus as a prophet, just not God...

the reason jews were concerned about Passion is because it portrayed jews as jesus killers...

[ikojo]

17. NO, Jews do NOT view Jesus as a prophet. The prophets are revered

Jesus is not. There is NO mention of Jesus in ANY Jewish worship service or in the prayer books.

Judaism is not Christianity lite, it is its own belief system.

[Maraya1969]

22. I think Jews regard Jesus as a teacher

That is my belief also. But I do not think he taught anything but love. None of this "abomination" crap that the evangelicals teach and he never told anyone to worship him. He said to "Follow him" to "Enter the Kingdom of Heaven" or, in Buddhist terms, "enlightenment", in our terms, "Peace".

There were some types of Priests that wrote a lot of the New testament. And they were into RULES that would control the people of their society.

Sound familiar?

[Danmel]

25. Jews do not regard Jesus as anything

Jesus is irrelevant to Judaism. No disrespect here, but from a strictly religious standpoint, not a cultural one, Jesus is about as relevant to Judaism as Confucious is to Chrisitanity.

Judaism is NOT THE ABSCENCE OF JESUS. NOR IS IT THE REJECTION OF JESUS. It is a totally distinct religion that existed before Christianty. Jewish beliefs and theology are their own.

WHy can't evnagelicals just get it into their heads that there are people who are perfectly happy without their God?

[yardwork]

27. To be fair, the vast majority of Christians don't feel this way

(I don't think.) Saying that Pat Buchanan speaks for Christians is like saying that the Ku Klux Klan speaks for white people.

Our big problem is that the wrong group of Christians have siezed control of the country and they are intent on driving their bigoted message no matter what.

We need to stick together to get through this.

[Danmel]

29. I'm well aware of that

That's why I said "evangelicals". I don't think most Christians feel that way- at least very few of the Christians we know feel that way- I try not to hang with people who want to save me- unless, of course, I'm really in danger!

I just wish people could generally be more tolerant of other's beliefs and not feel the need to impose their particular set of values and virtues on everyone else.

[sherilocks]

40. Thanks Danmel, exactly what I was thinking

only much better expressed by you.

[ikojo]

31. INDIVIDUAL Jews may have some affinity or high regard for

Jesus but JUDAISM as a religion does not consider anything about Jesus. He is not mentioned in any of the liturgy or prayers. NOTHING from the New Testament is part of Jewish worship or Jewish life.

[theboss]

39. Name one

Maybe from a cultural standpoint, Jews regard Jesus's teachings as something to study. But that would be in the same way I regard Buddha. From a religious standpoint, Jesus is nothing in Judaism but a false prophet.

For a place where religion is discussed (and bashed) a lot, there is a stunning amount of misunderstanding here. It's quite simple. Christians believe that Jesus is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy and is the Messiah. Jews believe that Old Testament prophecy has yet to be achieved and are still waiting on the Messiah. It's not a minor point.

[theboss]

38. You are thinking of Islam

Jesus is a prophet in Islam; he is nothing in Judaism.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. We now can publicly hate anybody we want in the name of Jesus.

Jerry Falwell says so, and his butthole buddy the Chimperor will strut around in his new little Star Fleet captain's outfit, trying to impress a bunch of Marines and get everybody's hatin' juices flowing. This country is going to hell in a star-spangled handbasket.

[in_cog_ni_to]

7. That's right. When Falwell can say "Lets blow them all up in the name of

Jesus" (talking about the Iraqis) and no one cares, bigotry has become socially accepted. Not one pundit, shill, talking head asshole said a word about that statement.

[Maraya1969]

24. It's the Evangelical Christian Jihad n't

[lasttrip]

10. "This country is going to hell in a star-spangled handbasket."

and they sure seem to be enjoying the ride.

:hippie:

[ruggerson]

8. 201-583-5000

MSNBC main number. I called and the guy at the switchboard said he was flooded with complaints. I suggest we all do something about this in the AM.

Scarborough country should be cancelled.

[Brundle_Fly]

14. God Bless you

FUCK THE BOZO'S! calling now.

[doni_georgia]

20. When I called, they were putting people through to the viewer relations

phone mail. I left a message of complaint, and said that between the anti-semitism last night, and NBC's refusal to air the UCC commercial, it is obvious that NBC is now coming down on the side of hate and bigotry, and because of this I will no longer watch ANY NBC network. I am really about ready to just cancel my Dish and do away with television in my house all together.

[Maraya1969]

23. Putting this number in the main message

201-583-5000

I couldn't find it at first when I read your message. I left a message and told them I would like to see them put on a Buddhist Monk so that they can see what true compassion is.

That's just my religion. Not forcing it on anyone or putting anyone down for believing in anything else! We are all free to chose!

I listen to tapes of Tich Nat Hahn,(sp). He keeps me from Killing people. I also listen to "The Couse In Miracles" Great for keeping sane in an insane world.

[ffhc2000]

9. Wait, what did he say?

[ruggerson]

13. Watch the repeat, it should be on shortly

[ikojo]

18. Some of us choose not to have cable for

this very reason. There is little of substance on. When Michael Powell's FCC allows a la carte cable then I will consider getting cable but not until then.

[yardwork]

28. Welcome to DU! I'm in North Carolina too!

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

12. But..but...but Buchanan made SENSE a few days ago!

:eyes:
I remember a few threads here praising Buchanan for ripping into Bush's foreign policy, and the support he was getting. I hesitated replying, 'cause I thought I'd get flamed, but I can't stand Pat "Put the miniguns on the border walls and gun down anyone who tries to enter America" Buchanan. He's a xenophobic anti-semitic bigot, and I hope he rots away, alone, in a dark corner spiting the world and everyone in it.

[sangh0]

42. I remember those threads

I'll have to look for the links

[tsuki]

15. Scarborough is the poster adult for "moral values."

Lori Klausutis. Ask him about Klausutis.

With all the press coverage on Gary Conduit, we could not get any answers on Joe Scarborough and the death of Lori Klausutis.

[billie_]

35. no one ever mentions Lori's death...i still wonder what happened there

VERY suspect!

[The Zanti Regent]

16. Now Pat, I thought you were laying off my people and going after gays...

...the last I heard, you bible thumping assholes wanted to round up me and my fellow Jews and ship us off to Israel because your book of fairy tales said all the Jews have to go back to Israel before Jesus comes back.

Then I thought you guys wanted to treat gays and lesbians the way you treated my people in 1930's Germany.

You're sick Pat. Do what you do best and put on your bedsheets and burn crosses while you sing Onward Christian Soldiers, OK?

[Skidmore]

19. I caught part of this early this morning on the repeat.

I've checked in on that show every morning for a week. Pat Buchanana and that young conservative Indian actress (?), some woman from Women Influencing America--a Jennifer, and that nut job from the Catholic group have been on everyday basically trying to whip up a Crusade. They have been raging away about how persecuted Christians are and slamming any group they feel has slighted Christians and are thwarting them from ordering society as they would like it to be. It is pretty disgusting and the fact that we have NO ONE stepping forward to call these religious bigots on their crap is unreal. Falwell and Roberston are everywhere these days, too. Sometimes I fear that until a mob of these self-styled holy and righteous people set loose in a riot and start maiming and killing in God's name on the streets of a city here, they will be allowed to thrive because we just make the assumption that generally everyone sees them as extreme too.

[ruggerson]

26. I don't ever remember seeing anything like this

the hatred spewing from Buchanan and his guests, night after night, is truly mind boggling. It's time we put a stop to it.

[KlatooBNikto]

21. Many Jewish people in this country made common cause with the

Right Wing and the Christian Fundamentalists thinking they will be more supportive of Israel in its problems with the Arabs. That may be true to a certain extent but as this post reveals, our friends in the Jewish community would be well advised to keep a close eye on these religious nuts who have a centuries long hatred brewing for the Jewish people. As they say, keep your friends close but your enemies closer.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

44. The Talibornagain shafting of the Jews will be...

...the I-TOLD-YOU-SO OF THE CENTURY.

[Bridget Burke]

30. Not that I saw the show, but...

Apparently someone from "The Catholic League" was among the gang. Doesn't he know that the Christian Reconstructionists (who are behind the Christian Right's grab for political power) hate Catholics almost as much as Jews? Of course, they also hate most mainline Protestant churches as well; Billy Graham is regarded as dangerously ecumenical.

There's some truth one of his statements. The film industry in this country was largely founded by Jews because anti-Semitism kept them from many professions & businesses. So they took a new technology & made it a success. Many with power in the industry are still Jewish, but they probably wanted to keep a distance from Mel Gibson's project because he's scary; I agree.

[billie_]

32. i saw it, it was surreal....it made me sick! ...

we need to write emails to MSNBC and demand they get it together, that was the most hateful exchange i have seen....

billie

no more msnbc for me

[Generator]

33. Glad he's keeping busy

He doesn't have Kerry to kick around anymore.

[billie_]

36. did anyone catch the 1 woman, who said in regards to "the passion"

you could almost feel the blood splash on you?! as if that was a GOOD thing....

sick, sick, sick

the worst of the worst, truly a hatefest!

[billie_]

37. Just sent MSNBC an email ... short & 2 the point-

I will no longer be visiting "Scarborough Country" the bigotry and hatred in your country, goes against my Moral Values!

[Cyrano]

41. This is nothing new for Buchanan.

He has a history of spouting "Hitler wasn't that bad," bullshit. The man has a long history of anti-semitism, although most of his fellow "journalists" have defended him as "he's really a nice guy once you get to know him." Yeah. And as Mel Brooks said, "Hitler was a better dancer than Churchill."

The rumor is that when Buchanan tried his run for president, he low-keyed his anti-semitism by cutting down on his invitation list to celebrate Hitler's birthday.

[GreenPartyVoter]

43. Of course he does. Why wouldn't he? He can't tolerate

anyone who is different from himself.
