Pat Buchannan on Morton Downey Jr. Show in 1988 (youtube)

[emazur]

I don't like this Buchannan - said that Vietnam war was a noble cause, was rooting for Bush in '88, and said Oliver North should be pardoned if convicted.

Of course. Ironically, Ron was at his best in 1988. I don't like his change on immigration issues and other issues, but man in 1988 the man (Ron) was simply on point on nearly every single issue. Also, Pat Buchanan is a National Socialist, so it's no wonder he is cheering those things on. (And when I say National Socialist, I do not mean Nazi (As in gassing people), it simply is the opposite of International Socialism the likes of the Soviet Union)

I like when Buchanan yelled "Tell the Afghans they're paranoid about communism!"

Buchanan then looks like Haley Joel Osment now.

Also, someone needs to put the guy in the yellow polo on a diet, he's a little overweight

If he's a little overweight, maybe the government should put him on a diet

I'm so glad that prick died a miserable, painful, agonizing death.

Pat is still the most qualified presidential candidate of the last 100 years. I was one of the heads of his local campaigns in 1996, as a 23 year old. Go, Pat, Go.

"In 1996, Downey was diagnosed with lung cancer and had one of his lungs removed. He did a complete about-face on the issue of tobacco use, going from a one-time member of the National Smokers Alliance to a staunch anti-smoking activist. He continued to speak against smoking until his death from lung cancer in 2001."

This.

Also, I find it funny he's hosting a show with a cigarette in his mouth. Something you'd never see today.

Ooooohhhh...thought he was talking about Buchanan.

I think Pat has learned a lot since then. He probably believed the Vietnam lies until McNamara admitted the Gulf of Tonkin incident was faked as we were heading into Iraq.

[Zap!]

I doubt Pat likes Ollie these days.
