Pat Buchanan’s such a punk
Did anyone else catch Pat Buchanan on Sunday’s Meet the Press? He was “debating” the immigration bill with Rep. Luis Guttierez. Apparently Mr. Buchanan debates by interrupting and talking over anyone who doesn’t agree with him and making points that are completely unrelated to those his opponent is making.
This quote from Mr. Buchanan’s side of the debate pretty much says it all:
The real reason the Democrats want this — I keep saying this, and I know this sounds harsh to some people, but — is liberal Democrats don’t like many of the traditions and institutions, the guardrails, the fences, that have made this country great….
Man, there are some happy Germans just waiting up in Heaven to high five him on that comment.
Rep. Gutierrez countered with: “The same argument that Pat makes today are the arguments that have been made in the past — they were wrong then, they are wrong today.” He pointed out that the problems just will not get solved until people put their differences aside and work on a SOLUTION rather than just finger-pointing and name calling. Unfortunately the moderator ultimately had to cut Buchanan’s racist tirade off so obviously Gutierrez’s reasoning didn’t penetrate Buchanan’s thick skull.
