Not the first time a Nazi analogy has tripped lightly from his lips in this area, although like Cardinal Martino, he doesn't quite have the stones to own up to what he means. He's not comparing Gaza to a German death camp, you see, just to your average, run-of-the-mill concentration camp. The fact that he coughed up the word blitzkrieg literally in the same breath is but an unhappy coincidence. A passage from Hitchenss review of Buchanan's World War II revisionism is worth quoting: As the book develops, Buchanan begins to unmask his true colors more and more. It is one thing to make the case that Germany was ill-used, and German minorities harshly maltreated, as a consequence of the 1914 war of which Germany's grim emperor was one of the prime instigators. It's quite another thing to say that the Nazi decision to embark on a Holocaust of European Jewry was not a cause of the war but an awful consequence of the war. Not only is Buchanan claiming that Hitler's fanatical racism did not hugely increase the likelihood of war, but he is also making the insinuation that those who wanted to resist him are the ones who are equally if not indeed mainly responsible for the murder of the Jews! This absolutely will not do. He adduces several quotations from Hitler and Goebbels, starting only in 1939 and ending in 1942, screaming that any outbreak of war to counter Nazi ambitions would lead to a terrible vengeance on the Jews. He forgets—at least I hope it's only forgetfulness—that such murderous incitement began long, long before Hitler had even been a lunatic-fringe candidate in the 1920s. Exit question: Wasn't Russia's assault on Georgia this summer a blitzkrieg too? No, wait, I forgot that was our fault.

ohmy. that's the worst slander. an AmericaFirst isolationist! too bad that pjb doesn't really walk the talk.
I'm assuming these comments come from Pubes. Yeah, what a slander....
I doubt it. I think these comments are from The Usual Suspects whose population numbers are low but whose internet postings are many. http://www.blogcatalog.com/blogs/the-jewish-internet-defense-force.html The Jewish Internet Defense Force Leading the fight against antisemitism and terrorism on the web. Coordinating concerned citizens globally. Promoting Jewish pride, knowledge, and unity
Pat's good at tweeking the Tribe.
Why not. He has nothing to lose now because he lost everything ( Oval Office dreams) as a result of the innuendo and hissssing campaign against him which started when he wrote a column in 1990 that the Israeli case against Demjanjuk as a war criminal was weak and that it could be a case of mistaken identity. The Supreme Court of Israel ultimately released Demjanjuk saying there was not enough evidence to show that Demjanjuk was Ivan the Terrible. But Buchanan was vilified and demonized regardless and his Presidential hopes were screwed.
Talk about luck. Had the Berlin wall not fallen, Demjanjuk's real records never would have been discovered. I understand they were in some moldy Stasi file. The Israeli SC had no choice but to toss the case. God was on his side and I still recall the rodent Dershowitz hissing at Buchanan every time they appeared together. Vile creatures.
As is expected in this country, you'll find the truth in the dumpster.
I haven't a clue what you mean. Please be specific.
"Only the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 allowed the Demjanjuk defence team to obtain exculpatory documents from KGB files inside the moribund empire. Exculpatory documents had also been retrieved from a dumpster just behind OSI offices in Washington after they had been tossed out by OSI staffers. (The OSI, the Office of Special Investigations, by the way, is the American Justice Department's Nazi-hunting arm.)"
And your point is? I've read in various places that the exposing of the Venona project intercepts saved Demjanjuk from the hangman's noose. You are glad the truth was exposed, right?
I am. I was under the impression that the actual exculpatory evidence in the case before the Israeli Supreme Court was the stuff relevant to the ID in question found in the OSI dumpster. Perhaps I'm wrong. It's been a long time since I've steeped myself in the details. There's so much shit going on in the world, I can't keep track of it all.
It's hard keeping up with all of this stuff, never mind recalling events from years ago. I do recall much of this event b/c it became Buchanan v the Lobby, with a man's life on the line. So whatever people think about Buchanan, and I agree w/some criticism, he did go the extra mile to save an innocent man.
Just read all this stuff about John Demjanjuk and how his guilt was reversed thanks to Pat. Well congressman Jim Trafficant had a major role in that guilty reversal and look what it cost him. By the way, Jim Trafficant will be returned to a halfway house in the Youngstown, Ohio area this coming March. I believe he will one day run for office again and get elected. Then the SHTF. The wrongful conviction of John Demjanjuk was followed by the wrongful conviction of Jim Trafficant, Chalk it up to jooish revenge!
Pat Buchanan simply wrote a column wherein he took the position that the case might be one of mistaken identity. I don't think Buchanan did anything more than this that I am aware of. But his column caused a storm of controversy mainly because the Israelis and their Usual Suspect stateside apparatchik had been crowing for several weeks about this very fine Nazii catch that the Israelis had made. The Supreme Court reversed the decision of the lower courts on appeal about 3 years later based on what they considered the prosecutors' evidence to be - ie. inadequate and especially so because new evidence was produced exonerating Demjanjuk. He clearly was not Ivan the Terrible.
Letter From Prison by JIm Trafficant by JIM TRAFFICANT *************** Dear (anonymous), Thank you! Thank you for thinking of me and my family. Life is hectic and fast- paced-- and for you to have thought of me, and then to stop and take time from your precious life to write me-- is an honor. And once again, I thank you! Most of the people who write me say they cannot understand why the government targeted me with such a passion. Every rumor and innuendo that any political opponent would plant and foster became public and, before long, developed into an indictment without any physical evidence-- only the testimony of subjects who were able to avoid jail by fabricating falsehoods about me. Lies and half-truths became 'facts'; and ultimately became a 10 count indictment. My evidence, that would have proved they were lying, was not allowed to be presented -- either before the Congress or the Federal Court! However, I know why I was targeted: I was not afraid of the government, and I had learned too much! The beginning of all of this was my first trial, in 1983, when I became the only American in history to defeat the U.S. Department of Justice in a RICO case-- pro se (representing myself), and me not being an attorney. They were embarrassed! The straw that broke the camel's back was when I proved that John Demanjuk was not the infamous Ivan the Terrible of the Treblinka death camp in Poland. The government was stunned and in shock. The real Ivan was nine years older, taller, and had black hair and a scar on his neck; his name was Ivan Marchenko. My investigation, in conjunction with John Demanjuk's beautiful family, proved not only that John was innocent, but also that the Justice Department knew he was not guilty-- even before they took him to court! Shame, shame!! They lied to the court-- gave false testimony and presented false witnesses-- knowing that he would be put to death! Shame!! The Justice Department then came after me with revenge, and a passion! I lost my respect and my faith in our government. Because this case was 'too sensitive,' Congress would not even hold a hearing on my evidence... Congress, all of them, at the time-- turned their back, worried about reelection!! The Democrats were in charge then, and they knew of my investigation in Congress... hoping I would abandon it! I did not! I sent my findings to the Israeli Supreme Court-- and they had no choice: They released John Demanjuk! In fact, they delivered him to me at the airport in Tel Aviv, Israel, and I personally brought him home, along with his son, his son-in- law, and Israeli bodyguards! I am proud of what I did. No one else, in the House or the Senate, would even talk to the family-- afraid of media power and the vindictiveness of the Justice Department. But even today, John Demanjuk is still being persecuted. Shame! The government agents that destroyed Demanjuk's life should be in jail! That was just the tip of the iceberg. When people saw what I had done for the Demanjuk family they came to me with unbelievable information. The information is so powerful that it is hard to believe, and the government knew I was getting sensitive information that could damage the American people's confidence in the government. People came to me with facts about Waco, Ruby Ridge, Pan Am Flight 103, Jimmy Hoffa, and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. It may all sound far-fetched, but I do know what happened to Hoffa and J.F.K. The government knows that I know-- and so they had to ruin my voice by destroying my credibility. I may yet divulge this information if I can get the proper forum. As you know, I was the dreaded enemy of the I.R.S. My legislation in the last I.R.S. Reform Bill changed the Burden of Proof law. Before that, you had to prove you were innocent in a tax court. The burden of proof was on the taxpayer. The I.R.S. said you owed... but the I.R.S. did not have to prove it. Unbelievable! Now that the I.R.S. has to prove their charges, the following statistics tell the true story. Comparing One Year Before the changes to One Year After: 1. Wage Garnishments dropped from 3.1 million to 560,000; 2. Taxpayer Property Liens dropped from 680,000 to 161,000; 3. Foreclosures on individual family-owned homes dropped from 10,063 to 57! That's right: only 57 homes in all 50 states! Fact is, the I.R.S. was seizing our homes -- over 10,000 every year-- when they had neither proof nor the right to do so! Congress allowed the I.R.S. to intimidate us and frighten us. Think about it! And then maybe you can begin to understand why I love America but hate the Government -- and why the Government hates me. The Justice Department had to get rid of me, but I'll be damned if I would back down! America is in trouble... not from without, but from within! The Central Government has become too powerful. Citizens fear the Government. This is wrong. This is dangerous! I know the Government covered-up and promulgated LIES about Waco, Ruby Ridge, Pan Am Flight 103, Hoffa, and J.F.K. The Government knew I was right when I called Janet Reno a traitor. Janet Reno sold us out when she refused to investigate a $10-million payoff to the Democratic Party from a general in the Red Chinese Army (no less!). Think about it! And the Government knew that I had known why Reno was forced to betray America! I'm proud that I tried to do something about it! Someday the truth will come out. (I hope China never attacks us!) Many of you have asked what you can do for me. I appreciate this. You can help my family: Mrs. Tish Traficant 429 N. Main Street Poland, OH 44514 Thank you for remembering me... for thinking of me... for caring! God Bless! (Signed) Jim Traficant

Interesting. I did not know that about Traficant. However my earlier comment to you was regarding what you said about Pat Buchanan: "Just read all this stuff about John Demjanjuk and how his guilt was reversed thanks to Pat." I don't recall Pat Buchanan did much beyond writing his column raising the possibility of mistaken identity.
Thanks for reminding all of us all the patriotic work that Trafficant did - and of the ride he got on the Federal Railroad. I'll chip in if he ever runs again.

This is the same guy who founded and edited a magazine that pushed for its readers to vote for Democrats in 2006, endorsed Ron Paul in 2008, and compared Rudy Giuliani to a Nazi, right?
Buchanan certainly has a thing for Nazi comparisons.

Just because Pat Buchanon is speaking the truth about geopolitcal israels war crimes does not make him a nazi.
Seriously, you neo-conservatives are destroying all credibility for ALL conservatives, with your bloodthirsty warmongering and ridiculous thought processes(which are clearly absurd to any rational person observing).

Funny thing about that, Palin actually attended the meeting out of courtesy because Buchanan was in town. In fact, an Associated Press story from the same year after the visit shows her as a co-chair on the70;Forbes campaign.

than me sitting on St.Marys river firing mortars or rockets
over to Soo Michigan,say into Lake Superior University!
Now,Pat is accusing the Israels as acting as WW2(Nazi's)
and having a 56;Lightening War' with Gaza!
Then,turning Gaza into (Gas Chambers and Ovens)!
Doesn't that sound a tad like Lunacy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So for God's sake,think what Pat has said!!UGH!!
canopfor on January 8, 2009 at 10:28 PM
this is disgusting for anyone who calls himself a christian to say. hasn't the christian church persecuted the jews enough???
the only part of the church that does NOT persecute the jews is the pentecostal movement70;you should come out of the hate-filled 56;church' and become a real christian70;ever read romans??? and what paul felt for the jews???
that is what a christian is supposed to be and say.
your bending over for the muslims is sickening. thank God for Charles martel, the crusaders, and the othe CHRISTIANS who had the guts to fight the muslim INVADERS.
there is no peace, no quarter, and this war does NOT end until armageddon70;
if you want to be a martyr so bad, go to the lands of the moon god and preach Christ crucified70;why don't you??

SuperCool on January 8, 2009 at 10:30 PM
Whenever I hear people using phrases like Nazi or Death Camp, I know I don't have to question their argument. There simply isn't one. This is just a tactic by liberals (YES I called Buchanan a liberal) to make their opponents look evil with out having to resort to those elusive and contradictory things called facts.
