In showdown with Maddow, Buchanan says Sotomayor "was appointed because she's a Latina, and a Hispanic, and a woman" 

Buchanan on why he doesn't "understand" "the argument" for affirmative action for Hispanics: "They were never enslaved" 

Buchanan declares Sotomayor a "militant liberal Latina," Matthews and Robinson push back

      Cut that out, Shrum. Pat opening his mouth is always the best thing for Democrats. Hell, he was practically Clinton's re-election campaign manager.

      Scrum is right, of course.
      Pat DOES hurt his own causes by his words.
      As well as the Republican Party, because it IS racist.
      Pat has FAILED.

      Pat needs a rest. He needs to be out to Patsture for a while.
      He can come back when the next Democratic nominee for the Supreme Court a gay, black woman is nominated. He inferior will he feel then.
      Pat, could you do or have done what this affirmative action baby has done?

      The question is why does MSNBC continue to have him on the air?

        MSNBC is fair and balanced.

        I sent an email to MSNBC today asking the same question. I agree that you have different view points for a good debate but he's way over the top racist and isn't trying to hide it either. Why should he be getting a check for that?

      Pat denies that she graduated at the top of her class at Princeton because of her race and gender. What other reason is there?

      Only Pat will stand toe=to =toe with liberals and tell them the cold hard truth. Sotomayor is a militant extremist who has aligned herself with militant hispanic groups.
      Thanks Pat!
      Go Pat go!!!

      Why are people giving Pat a forum from which to preach his hatred of Sotomayor? The man is adding nothing to the debate about her at all, except for his racist screeds.

      Buchanan is right about one thing, Shrum's 0-8 I think. Of course, on Sotomayor, he's gone round the bend.

      Pat Buchanan is good example of people will not change no matter what. This man has so much disdain for Sotomayor that he is willing to go on t.v and admit that Palin is more qualified. Now think to yourself, Pat was born in 1938, and admits that their is heavy prejudice against minorities but also says that their is no problem. Pat Buchanan wants America to go back to the 1950's, where minorities are second class citizens and white people are supreme. If you don't believe me just listen to him, you feel like you woke up in Bizarro world. I hope they keep Pat Buchanan on msnbc, because he let's you know that many have changed, but many have not and will not, so we have to keep going forward without those like good ol' Pat.

      "you're Hispanic-bashing..."

      Eh, playing the race card makes people seem like they have no argument.

      Buchanan is easy to argue with because he is so obviously racist and crazy, so that’s the reason MSNBC keeps him, the same reason Alan Colmes is on Fox - to embarrass every liberal on the planet.
