Who's your favorite right-wing pundit/guest?
I personally like Pat Buchanan. He gives it straight up -- one of the only Right-Wingers I see on this show that seems principled, even if I disagree with everything he says, he makes no apologies.

3. Yes, a lot of right wingers to choose from, but my short list of faves is VERY short.

5. McLaughlin never struck me as right-wing.
I actually have an alarm on my cellphone to remind me that McLaughlin is on at 5:30 on Saturdays, lest I forget.

I love that show.

9. He's an old-fashioned conservative. I really love his show, too.

Been watching it for decades! We're lucky, it's on here in NYC at 11:30 am on Sundays (unless it's moved because of sports stuff).

Edited to add: They have a video or audio podcast of the show — it's available on iTunes (just search for McLaughlin)!

17. I lost total interest in what he had to say after he accused Gen Wesley Clark of
intentionally bombing the Chinese Embassy in Serbia (Yougoslavia)

21. I've heard him say many things I don't agree with or like, but I still like the guy
after decades of watching his show.

29. That's fine. He's really not that awful
My apologies if I came across negatively to your post.

I'm just in a REALLY cabby mood today.

4. NONE
Pat Buchanan is a stooge and cheerleader for the Reich-Wing. They can all kiss my ass.

8. Do politicians count? I used to like John McCain on the Sunday shows,
back when he was a truth-telling "maverick" and before he went over the neocon edge. Pundits--I like Pat B. and George Will.

10. WTF! I have NO favorite 'right wing pundits'
They all are a bunch of bullshit artists.

This thread needs to go where other right wing threads go.... into oblivion.

12. Take it easy.
If you believe every right-winger is your enemy, you've gone over the deep edge.

People take what they need from their political affiliations, and suppress/rationalize the rest. Just like religion.

Most folks are moderates that lean one way or another.

You need them to win elections.

23. Your OP is NOT about moderates, but about right wingers
If you wanted to talk about moderates, why didn't you say so in your OP???

Have you been freakin' paying attention the last 15 or so years?:wow:

They sure as hell treat us like we're the enemy.

and is not afraid to criticize Bushie and his buddies.

25. I like David Gergen. He's really not a radical on either side,
and most of what he says is common sense.

28. You've got to be kidding me
I can't think of one. Just by definintion of right-winger. Plain and simple. There are those who are corrupt and right-winger, who I hate more, but I do hate them all anyways.

32. Colmes is not right wing, he's just a sell-out
Fox pays Holmes very well to be a wimpy milquetoast.

34. I agree with you about Buchanan.
He is a Paleo-con, not a neo-con. He does not march in lock step and robotically repeat the talking points ad nauseum.

He actually makes sense. He is logical. He is reality based. He can carry on a conversation without running out of answers and having to point to Clinton as a diversion.

When he and Bill Press had a show on MSNBC, They agreed that Bush should NOT start his war in Iraq. When contentious viewpoints were in vogue, MSNBC could't have a lefty and a righty who were agreeable, so they canned that show and brought in Keith. I missed that show, but after three days, I was hopelessly addicted to Countdown.
