In reply to the discussion: Pat Buchanan out at MSNBC [View all]lunatica
(53,410 posts)28. Today's racists are out of the closet thanks to the teabaggeratti
But it was always there coming out of the sides of mouths when it was just all white people in the room. Racists have always made the mistake that if you're white you're one of them. Buchanan just got confident because it's so blatant now. If the Republicans can out and out display overt racism, why shouldn't he? I suspect he always strove to be an intellectual leader of this group. The 'thinking racist' who could mold and manipulate public opinion. He probably received fan mail from Rush's listeners.
Like a lot of egotists he overstepped himself and fell into a trap created by his own cockiness. A lot like Newt is doing.

Why? Ron Paul is running for President and he's just as racist as Pat ever was.
