Pat Buchanan is a very controversial figure. He worked in the Nixon and Reagan administrations and has since been a very vocal pundit on behalf of the extreme right wing of the Republican Party. Throughout his long career, he has been a presidential candidate, advisor, political speaker, analyst, and an author. But throughout that career, he has also been a sexist, racist, and a Nazi sympathizer. Yet somehow, he works at MSNBC, a left leaning media outlet. Considering what Pat Buchanan has said in the past and the present, one has to wonder, “Why hasn’t MSNBC fired this guy?”

Buchanan has a long history of racism, sexism, and incendiary comments. And it’s not an act. He really believes what he is saying. Let’s take a journey through the hate filled rhetoric of Pat Buchanan.

1. Sexism

Pat Buchanan has a problem with women’s rights and feminism. Sometimes when I’m watching Buchanan on MSNBC, I wonder how in the hell the women on that show work around him and why. He has made many anti-women comments over the years. Take these for example:

“Rail as they will about ‘discrimination,’ women are simply not endowed by nature with the same measures of single-minded ambition and the will to succeed in the fiercely competitive world of Western capitalism.”
~Pat Buchanan (11/22/83)

1. One does NOT have to wonder "Why hasn't MSNBC fired this guy"?

They haven't fired him because he's "colorful": producer's know they can bring him on any show they air, and he'll say something controversial that will be good for ratings, which means higher ad sales.

2. Lack of single-minded ambition? Naw, we multi-task. Time for Pat to retire. EOM

3. Pukcannon is a real piece of work

so full of contradiction, so full of shit that I'm amazed he ever was seen by any of us at anytime in his miserable life, his sister too. Maybe even his sisters husband too :-)

4. I stopped watching MSNBC.

Used to watch it every night. It's 'liberal lite' at best, but more like closet status quo conservative. Even dear Rachel stays within the lines, so I have no use for pre-chewed news and commentary brought to me by the corporate elite.
