Now he is being tried (not yet convicted, as far as I know) again under totally different charges. Buchanan was right the first time, and this second prosecution seems like 'sore losing' -- even prosecutors admit that at most he was a Nazi prisoner of war who cooperated by being a guard at a camp where Jews were killed. Not excusing that, but its pretty low level stuff for the US government, among others, to have spent millions of dollars on -- prosecuting a man who was at the time a 19 year old *prisoner of war*. Pat is an American, and likes to see American interests put first. It has become obvious to just about everyone that Israel's interests and ours are not the same -- and in fact at times contrary to one another. I think you mean 'hates blacks, hispanics etc' you mean he stands up for white folks on issues like affirmative action (anti-white discrimination) and illegal immigration (which hurts the white, and black, working class). Blacks, Hispanics, Jews etc all have major voices out there, protecting their interests. Pat is the only major media guy advocating for white gentiles.

He pointed out that the Mossad is suspected of spying in the US, particularly on Arab and Arab-Americans here. He showed the evidence that might lead to that conclusion. Let's look at other charges. He had the bad taste to defend a retired autoworker from false charges, and eventually was proven right by the Israeli Supreme Court. He points out that Israel has spied on the US in the past -- which it has. He points out that it has actually attack a US Navy ship, and killed American sailors -- as it has. And he points out that Jews are way disproportionately represented in the Senate and now, the Supreme Court -- which of course they are. That has consequences, the overwhelming number of Jews are liberal, I think around 80% voted for Obama. Jewish Supreme Court justices are generally moderate to liberal, (I can't think of Breyer even as conservative). Jewish Americans have a variety of organizations engaging in political action *as Jews*, claiming to speak for the Jewish community (the ADL, AIPAC, JINSA). So ethnicity/religion are real issues, and it is legitimate of Buchanan to point them out. This columnist simply wants to shut up critics of an ethnoreligious group that organizes itself as such to participate in politics. Sorry, but if you want to play the game, you are subject to criticism.
