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.

Call Pat what he is, an AmericaFirst isolationist stooge.

Well the only real Nazi in this whole story is SaintOalf BFF Pat I'm a Nazi Buchanan.
Keep up the good work Al-MSNBC.
Lance Murdock on January 8, 2009 at 10:03 PM
No wonder MSNBC and CNN love him.
Entelechy on January 8, 2009 at 10:05 PM
Buchanan is anti-Nazi? Whodathunk.
joewm315 on January 8, 2009 at 10:05 PM
and here lies the problem
Conservatism in the media means:
kathleen parker, peggy noonan, david brooks, david frum and pat buchanan

Any chance Pat and Jimmy Carter can go over to Gaza and do Rachel Corrie impersonations for the Israelis?
jon1979 on January 8, 2009 at 10:08 PM
HOW SHOULD ISRAEL END THE CONCENTRATION OF GAZANS IN GAZA!?!?!
LET THEN INTO ISRAEL!?!
THE ANTISEMITES ARE COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET!
JUST IN TIME!

He is right at home at the hate channel. What is next, Sarah Palin's baby caused the war.
rob verdi on January 8, 2009 at 10:11 PM
A blitzkrieg is great - it's quick and effective!
Oh wait, that's not what he meant?
Spirit of 1776 on January 8, 2009 at 10:12 PM
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.
amerpundit on January 8, 2009 at 10:13 PM
this dude was on H&C last night , a former Israeli soldier and he had it right
Hamas is holding people hostage in Gaza through terrorism and fear
joey24007 on January 8, 2009 at 10:13 PM
I used to like him, but he went off the deep end a long time ago. Ridiculous.
CP on January 8, 2009 at 10:13 PM
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).
SaintOlaf on January 8, 2009 at 10:14 PM
Stick to oatmeal, Pat, those solid foods are obviously not agreeing with you.
Did NBC have a giant banner under Pat while he was talking; bold garish letters saying CONSERVATIVE?

Oh, good, our resident embarrassment has shown up.
amerpundit on January 8, 2009 at 10:17 PM
Pat Buchanan is good enough for Sarah Palin.

Will you revise that history too?
SaintOlaf on January 8, 2009 at 10:17 PM
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.
amerpundit on January 8, 2009 at 10:24 PM
Oh, Adolf Hitler loved dogs.
Entelechy on January 8, 2009 at 10:24 PM
What does that have to do with the fact that he's a Nazi apologist and and anti-Semite (but I repeat myself)70;he's a loon..loons say things that make no sense. He also endorsed The One:

He's a damned anti-semite. I think he should go to Gaza, stand in the middle of a schoolyard missile site, and look up.

Who wants to bet that SaintOalf sings in the shower. I bet his favorite song is Borat's Throw the Jew down the well
Just a thought.
Lance Murdock on January 8, 2009 at 10:27 PM
Will you revise that history you?
SaintOlaf on Jan 8,2009 at 10:17PM.
SaintOlaf: I will explain it for you:
Hamas goons like to fire rockets into Israel,no different
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??
right4life on January 8, 2009 at 10:30 PM
This makes Buchanan any different from, say, Jimmy Carter how, exactly?
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.
Tommy_G on January 8, 2009 at 10:32 PM
A blame America first, doom and gloomer70; conservative?
MMmmm70; no.
silverfox on January 8, 2009 at 10:32 PM
Pat Buchanan has been a Nazi for years. It's about time people finally wake up to him. How much more does he have to say for people to see him for what he is.
flytier on January 8, 2009 at 10:32 PM
We are country of 300 million and fools like Pat Buchanan are the best we can get on political commentary. Really? Allahpundit please reconsider being anonymous and get on television. You are needed.
