"Uncle Pat" Buchanan Jumps the racial shark

[pscucailin]

Yeah, Kennedy won the catholic vote and Obama won the black vote both because of racial/religious identity. Why is it so controversial to mention?

[qlaw04]

Pat has a point and was being honest. Everyone knows why Powell endorsed Obama ultimately. Yes he waited, he's a Republican and John McCain is still his friend so there goes the "why did he wait" theory.

Look noteable blacks endorsed Obama becuse he's black. Maybe this was dicey for whites to say but it is true nevertheless.

Naive white liberals!

[mslue67]

Well if that is the case then noteable white people endorsed John Mccain. This country has never said I'm sorry the the Indians for putting them on reservations or blacks for inslaving them. Come get real we are a country that wants to sweep everything under the rug!!!

[qlaw04]

Say sorry?? That's pathetic, emasculating and wuite Canadian which is an eloquent way of saying "pussy!"

The blacks who were enslaved in America are today the weathiest and most powerful blacks anywhere. negroes the world over read about Michael Jordan Oprah Whinfrey and lets not forget "Barak" and strive to come here only to emerse themselves in African American culture. As for the natives... ask 'em if they still rather be in Mongolia or runnin' naked on the prairie? I doubt they do...

[deepfriedchocobo]

This has to be one of the most short sighted comments I've ever seen on YouTube...congrats!

[ProserpinaFC]

(<_< )

[ProserpinaFC]

"Would he vote for him if he was completely a different person?"

"Umm, I don't see why he would. Bye, Uncle Pat. Hockey practice to do and all that.... *mumbles*"

[athews1976]

He is only voting for McCain because he is white. There, right back at cha. Jeez, What Irony.

[schlatz1]

Pat has been saying outrageous crap for years. He's like my crazy uncle that no one really listens to and sometimes I have to tell him to leave the room around polite company.

[chaplen45]

pat bucannon has lost all my respect and is no longer relivant, move your old ass out the way, make room for a new generation

[Epic878787]

It's more likely that Powell did this because he knows McCain is a hot head and unfit for duty but couldn't bring himself to say so given his personal relationship with him.

[dbmcvey]

For years, when Powell was a Repug people like Pat kissed his butt, but now they scream he's a racist because he stopped drinking the Kool-Aid and supported the better candidate. This should serve as a warning to every minority in the Republican camp--they only like you if they can point to you to prove they're not racist.

[abudi20]

Let's just admit it folks. Powell is a racist. Tell me how many inexperienced, white liberals Powell has endorsed?

It was purely a race based decision and yet another string of bad decision from Powell. He was a main factor in selling Iraq and now he's trying to sell Obama. How hypocritical of Obama to pretend he's anti-war, but accepts the endorsement of war enabler Powell.

[Eye0fTheStorm]

Stfu stupid republicans would sing Powell's praises day and night if he endorsed McCain. You guys a bunch of pathetic hypocrites. Pretending as if Powell was the brains behind the Iraq war. Give me a fucking break. He was just a talking head chosen by neocons because hes the only one who has even an shred of credibility on the world stage.

[Voodooray007]

hey abudi20. did you copy and paste your bullshit on the young turks video?

[abudi20]

No, but I'll do it right now so I can get more liberals angry.

[gmcjetpilot]

I am conservative unaffiliated white college educated professional. Obama, is the better choice to McCain (erratic)/Palin (unqualified). McCain bought into the worse of GOP, his campaign is how he'll lead.

Obama smart, honest, clear, concise, a leader and a great communicator. John you are getting beat fairly while you campaign unfairly.

McCain: "I would rather lose with a positive campaign than win with a negative one".

Well it looks like you are getting your wish Senator McCain.

[majesticamerican]

How dare Buchanan raise that type of topic, when McShame tried to link Obama to Muslism faith? Discrimination? We are having a real serious problem right now, with millions of jobs shipped overseas and billions of dollars national debt, all Buchanan and Lameball can talk about is black or white!? Give me a break, I love this country too much to let it sink~~God bless America~~God bless us!

[NoObamain08]

Mr.Buchanan hit the nail on the head as always. Powell's motives are transparent. The PC police can screw off.

[egrimnes]

Please, motive my ass. The only thing that is transparent is the conservative parties mask on racism. I'm white and voting for Obama. McCain is a douche and Powell knows it. Nothing transparent about it. Only a racisist would think that just because he is black that he would vote that way. "NoObamain08" don't you have a cross to burn somewhere?

[baronmorris]

BOYCOTT RACHEL MADDOW until she STOPS HAVING PAT BUCHANNAN ON HER SHOW.

(sorry, Rachel)

peace

[shelleymky]

I've tried to like Pat, mainly because I know Rachel Maddow likes him and if that is so, I believe there's good in him. But I, too, am so sorry he went there. There was no call for that remark, and General Powell's comments were very clear and insightful. This is not about race; it's about CHANGE.

[McGriff99]

You can see Matthews' face shift from disbelief to disgust to shame (at 0:13 just before he lowers his head)

[bullrooster]

I noticed also. I think he was stunned to hear this racism from pat.

[lolwutdahell]

pat buchanan is serious fucking business

[km6xz]

Buchanon is a pig.

He obviously did not listen to the reasons given by Powell which were very well thought out and sincere in presentation. Only a neo-con could be so cynical and twisted.

[jpdemers]

He listened, didn't like what he heard, and turned off his brain in self-defense. He's pathetic.
