Pat Buchanan- "Homosexuality Is Immoral, Unnatural, And Wrong"

[DemocratSinceBirth]

He said homosexuality was part of the "culture of death."


I can't believe some folks embraced him because he trashed the neocons on Meet The Press...


He is 100x worse than Bush and the neocons...

[cthrumatrix]

1. GE and Tweety will do anything to avoid the "real news"

[DaveinMD]

2. completely agree

and he is an anti-semite of epic proportions.

[blm]

22. Wasn't Buchanan defending Gannon's "private life" last week?

Boy, you need a scorecard to keep these Republican hypocrites' stories straight.

[LiviaOlivia]

24. And someone ask Pat about partying with Roy Cohn

At Roger Stone's house in Alezandria, Va. July, 1983.

[ewagner]

42. ???

Not familiar with the reference?

enlighten?

[still_one]

3. they are both just as bad in different ways

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. I Diagree...

I think some of the neocons are misguided... Wilsonian internationalists on steroids if you will....


I thank Pat Buchanan is a hater....


Big difference...

[LittleClarkie]

27. The neocons hate too...

...us, for instance.

[still_one]

36. the neocons are NOT misguided

They are are nazis

They are in the processing of destroying our democracy

They have all ready gotten rid of due process

THIS IS NOT "MISGUIDED"

[Zenlitened]

4. Buchanan has a long record of hating gays and lesbians

A few criticisms of Bush do NOT make him an ally of mine.

[Chipper Chat]

6. Tweety was sweating - let's go to commercial - quick!

Pat just said it was OK for states to outlaw homosexuality again. Yeah, Pat - prohibition really worked 70 years ago!

[Canuckistanian]

7. Buchanan seems to hate everybody

Gays, Jews, social conservatives, neocons and even us Canadians (from whom I acquired my DU name).

[Nay]

29. Yeah, I love your name. I've searched the web for a T-shirt

with Canuckistan on it, but with no luck. I will be in BC (Vancouver Island, to be exact) this summer -- do you have any idea where I can get a Canuckistan T-shirt?

[JI7]

8. why do you think he voted for Bush

abortion, gays, god etc.

we can all see that understands how wrong the war and other parts of Bush's foreign policy is but he still voted for him because of these cultural/social issues.

[stepnw1f]

9. And Your Party Does A Great Job Hiding It...

Free yourself for God's sakes!

[Mugweed]

10. A connection

to homosexuality and a culture of death is Jeff Gannon!

[FreedomAngel82]

25. On "Hardball"

Matthews talked like two minutes about Gannon and Robertson was defending him. I wonder how he feels defending a gay man.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

11. For all the effort he puts into condemning gays...

I have to wonder whether he keeps a map in his car, with all the truck stops and rest areas for a 100 mile radius of his home marked in bright highlighter.

Methinks he doth protest too much...

[stopbush]

12. So is Republicanism these days: immoral, unnatural and wrong.

And the biggest "culture of death" going these day is fundamentalist Xtianity.

So, your point was what, Pat?

[napi21]

13. Pat is a Catholic, and that is the teaching of the Church.

He's arguing his position, and he has every right to do that. I don't think the US laws should be based upon ANY religion, and I don't think they are. I'm also a Catholic, and though I believe the same as Pat, I am not being forced to do homosextual acts, have an abortion, or pull the lever in an execution! I don't understand why Catholics, or any other religion insists that everybody else adopt their beliefs! If you don't agree with an issue, just don't do it!

[eShirl]

14. then he better inform all those gay penguins and other gay animals

throughout nature that what they are doing is unnatural.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

15. Pat should just let the Pope say this for him. Then this thread

would be locked and the debate would be over.

[Pachamama]

16. While I disagree w/ him 100% on that statement, I don't believe he is 100x

worse than Bush Co. and the NeoCons. Pat Buchanan actually on occasion has some good things to say (he's more Libertarian than a Republican) and there is hardly anyone that could be considered worse than Bush and the PNAC folks, so saying that Buchanan is 100x worse is an exaggeration. But a statement like that showes his homophobia and lack of understanding of a persons sexual orientation. I'm sure when he was growing up, people in his household talked that way and he's never known different. It's the same way for going back 50+ years ago when people regularly grew up hearing that Blacks were inferior and less capable due to their skin color. It's all hatred and ignorance taught from hate and ignorance. Hopefully someday, people will stop teaching this ignorance and hate and break the cycle.

40. Buchanan is NOT a libertarian

If you plot him on the scale, he is a conservative authoritarian (which is the polar opposite of a libertarian): he believes in strong governmental control of private morality, and strong personal freedom when it comes to economic issues.

The only things that differentiate him from neoconservatives are (1) his economic populism and (2) his isolationist foreign policy.

[KoKo]

17. HEY PAT! Jeff Gannon nee Gukert is sitting under your nose...why don't

you get off your "pundit butt" and talk about REAL Repug Values! Then maybe some of us would think you have credibility! But, you swinging all over the place being anti-Iraq, anti-Israel...but PRO BUSH, PRO Conservative Repugs like Gingrinch ...leaves some of us thinking you are getting your funding from the same place the WHORE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORPS got his...FESS UP, PAT...You're on the dole...from somewhere...:puke:

[saltpoint]

18. I think it was Molly Ivins who first decapitated Buchanan --

-- after his extreme far-right & decidedly anti-gay speech at the Republican convention in (1996?).

She said something like, "Well, don't be too hard on Pat. I'm sure the speech sounded better in the original German."

[MissB]

33. I've always loved Molly Ivins

and that comment just takes the cake. :D

[GOPBasher]

[laylah]

20. "Homosexuality Is Immoral, Unnatural, And Wrong""

and so is he.

[tsuki]

21. Oh Thank God. I was frightened when I found myself agreeing with

him. I thought something was out of whack. You are a breath of fresh air that I needed. He is a NutCase.

[HockeyMom]

23. Culture of DEATH?

What in the world does that mean? Who are gays KILLING? Is this more PROCREATION lunacy?

[Lindacooks]

26. Methinks thou dost protest too much.

Mr. Buchanan seems to be yet another repuke nutcase who is OBSESSED with gay sex.

[demwing]

28. He's not worse

He's just a rabid nutjob.

He isn't evil, at least not like Bush.

[AntiCoup2K4]

30. I don't believe anybody's nominating Pat for sainthood here....

...but as long as he's speaking the truth about the neocon fascists, let him talk! He just might wake up some conservatives who won't listen to us "libruls" even though the facts are staring them in the face.

[independentchristian]

31. And...

...you expected him to say?

He is a paleoconservative, you know?

[elshiva]

32. Gay & Lesbian culture is a culture of life.

We have a vibrant tradition of humor and art despite the hatred that surronds us.
Buchananan supports a culture of death. He defends Nazis. He hates Jews, homosexuals, and women. He would love to see us all burn in Hell. God save us from this nutcase.

[disillusioned1]

34. "Thou shalt not judge, Pat." Hypocrite. n/t

[No Exit]

35. How the hell is Pat Buchanan relevant to ANYTHING?

Why do people watch him on TV? Why do they give any thought to what he says?

He once worked for a president--Nixon, wasn't it? Like a whole LEGION of others, he has run for president on a small party ticket, and lost. He's written some books.

That's it. That's all. Why does anyone care what this man says or thinks???

[iconoclastNYC]

37. Useful Idiot if there ever was one

he's a homophobe, and all the rest but he helps sow division in the republican party between the paleocons (aka true conservative), and the neocons, and therefore is useful. divide and conquer and all.

his take on foreign policy, i.e. anti-interventionist, i agree with a lot, but most everything he spews is bull.

[fnottr]

38. I don't think any of us here really embrace Buchanan as 'one of us'

But I am very pleased when he goes public with his doubts about Bush. It shows dissention in the Republican ranks, and not just with the older, more moderate conservatives. Buchanan is part of the fundie movement in the republican party, and his statements show even some of the fundies, who have been the most ardent bush supporters, are starting to have some doubts.

It's also a serverly shocking sign of the times when I start thinking Buchanan is making more sense than the republicans in office, and it makes for a good starting point for political converstations. Try it some time, tell someone who knows your political leanings, "I'm seriously disturbed that Pat Buchanan makes more sense than the president"

[DinahMoeHum]

39. This is why I always say to keep folks like him at arm's length.

Work with him as an ally on some points. But never ever trust him.
