There is a petition floating around the Internet demanding that MSNBC fire Pat Buchanan because of, well - "Buchanan's laundry list of unabashed white-supremacy includes downplaying slavery,writing a book in which he advocated shutting down our borders to maintain white dominance and espoused the genetic superiority of whites,complaining that confirming Elena Kagan would put too many Jews on the Supreme Court, and even defending Hitler."
While the sponsors of the petition allow that Buchanan has the right under the 1st Amendment to spew from his mouth anything generated by the shit-for-brains in his head, they don't think he should be given a platform on MSNBC and that MSNBC should fire Buchanan posthaste, ASAP, without delay, and do it right now.
I disagree - about the firing part, not that Buchanan is a racist, bigoted jerk. I think it would be a wise move by MSNBC to keep this monomaniac on their network. This gives MSNBC credibility as a balanced news outlet airing both liberal and conservative views, unlike their parallel universe opposites.
Has FOX News, the propaganda arm of the Tea Bagger Republicans, ever added a progressive to their stable of addle-brained correspondents? Some on the FOX network almost make Buchanan appear left-leaning.
Almost!
Some astute person said, "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer." MSNBC should keep Pat Buchanan on board so we can keep track of the enemy's mind set without having to debase ourselves by tuning in to FOX News.
