      Guessing aloud here...

      Pat Buchanan is senile? How else to explain all this stupid coming out of his mouth!

      and/or...

      Pat, like all the other typical right-wing freaks (like most of Fox-Noise, Rush, Savage, etc) ... can't contain his deep seeded racism and can't stand the fact that a woman, a Latina one at that, is about to be properly placed where she belongs... the Supreme Court.

        Pat does indeed believe in the superiority of white men, even in senility; yet, he doesn't believe in evolution...perhaps because he's barely evolved himself?

      Well, well, well...Buchanan shows his true colors(again).
      GPA doesn't matter? I wonder what HIS GPA was...
      Militant, eh? He's forgetting what TRUE militants are.
      Huey Long? Malcolm X? Ring any bells?
      Black Panthers?
      What has Sotomayor done that would classify her as "militant"?

      Pat, you forgot to say "uppity militant liberal Latina."

      As another poster suggested, Pat, perhaps you are getting senile. We know Glenn Beck is crazy. Limbaugh is in such decline he's reduced to schoolyard taunts. Hannity is...well, just stupid and dishonest. And, now you seem to be in the early stages of dementia. Pat, don't you right right wingers even have a coherent mouthpiece?

        Pat's getting bitter that he's been demoted to punditry while Sotomayor is rightfully getting what she earned.

        It's total jealousy.

      Chris: "You know what her grade point average was in High School?"

      Pat: "I don't care what it is."

      There ya have it folks, more proof that pat's AA comments about Sotomayor are without merit.

      Umph, umph, umph - shaking my head from side to side - Pat just lost any respectful listening from lots of people in whatever else he had to say here regarding Judge Sotomayor. What is wrong with these people who are Republicans/Conservatives/Neo-Conservatives? Americans know the difference between wrong and right, and the way the Republicans have "attacked" this lady, Judge Sotomayor, is so "offensive". My goodness, the nastiness coming from these guys because Judge Sotomayor may "NOT" be a Republican. Just shameful. These Republicans are showing how they "HATE" anyone that is "NOT" from their party, even though WE are "ALL" Americans. Yeap, the GOP have great American values for "ONLY" their kind, I guess. Umph, umph, umph just ...

      I have said this once and I will say it again.....I refuse to watch MSNBC until they get rid of this idiot drunk has-been commentator who doesn't care for facts. Just another racist bigot.
      Is he O'Reilly's father?

        Is he O'reilly's father? I would say, no: each is uniquely stupid. The old sod is rejecting them both, by the way, as being too nasty even to have emerged from any of their peat bogs.

      The producers love Pat, he generates eyes and that's all they want. Here he is, you guys put him.

      Mission Accomplished.

      The problem here is not Buchanan. He's a petty racist. He speaks like someone who wishes this country could go back to the 1940's. A time when all who were not white and male knew their place. The problem is msnbc for giving this guy a platform. If msnbc really wants to make sure the racist voice is heard get the grand wizard of the klan and stop trying to be subtle.
