Stop the Censorship!
Col. Mustard is very impressed with Pat Buchanan’s claims that he has been “censored” and “blacklisted” by liberals who “stigmatize as racist, homophobic, or anti-Semitic any who contradict what George Orwell once called their ‘smelly little orthodoxies.’” Damn that radical leftist William F. Buckley, stigmatizing kindly old Pat Buchanan as an anti-Semite merely for saying anti-Semitic things.
Anyway, based on the new conservative orthodoxy that anyone who does not have the well-compensated media sinecure of their choosing is being “censored,” I would like to draw your attention to an even greater outrage. I have been systematically denied the right to make paid appearances on Fox News or to write op-eds for the Wall Street Journal. Without a hearing!!!!!!!! For that matter, I have also never had a paid job with MSNBC. When will someone stand up for my First Amendment rights against the politically correct censors of the right and left???????
I cannot say anything about this other than that he was an embarrassment to the network and should have been gone years ago.
(I am looking for a Gary Carter post. An actual Montreal sports personality wrote in the NYT that Olympic Stadium was one of the worst ballparks ever.)
And I see that the Mitch Melnick piece has already been linked to.
You know, I like Rachel Maddow just fine, but it doesn’t speak too well of her that she indulged him as Crazy but Lovable Ol’ Uncle Pat for so long.
Sully’s portraying him as a victim as well.

Sully becomes more out of touch by the week. Elsewhere. he called Sieg Heil Pat an “intellectual”.
Sully has a vested interest in people not being blackballed because of outrage over racist books they’re written (Buchanan) or enthusiastically and consistently promoted (Sullivan, The Bell Curve
subterranean leftist outrage
I liked Dylan’s version better.
Win, win, win.
Patty throws his dirt

talking that the left took
his stuff away but

Sully says that many be
Commie-fascist KGB
Orders from the PC
Still haven’t looked at Sully’s site, but John Cole has another pullquote from Sully:
I ask you: in what way is Sully’s passage different from this:
Sully seems to realize that Buchanan is objectively repulsive scum – but he’s intellectually honest. Which apparently covers a multitude of sins.
After his Ron Paul debacle, Sully needs to go there. Gotta be consistent, after all.
An intellectually honest repulsive scumbag is currently the leading candidate for President in the GOP primary. So, yeah, it’s definitely an ethos.
Fixed that for you to add the heaping helping of intellectually dishonest hypocrisy shit topping. If you want personally and professionally dishonest, there’s always the lobbying, the “tort reform for thee but not for me” incident, the conscious defrauding of Pennsylvania taxpayers to cover his children’s educational costs in another state, etc. Just to clarify that no matter how much he squeals about what a friend Jesus has in him, he’s still a thief and a liar.
Well, Scott, maybe Baseball Digest will give you a place…
For a percentage of your future earnings, I’m prepared to stand up for your rights.
Get up stand up
I’ll stand up for your rights
Get up stand up
pay me to fight
Funny how conservatives are all for the “free markets” and rights of corporations to do as they please until they turn around and bite them.
Also funny how now all of a sudden Pat Buchanan opposes blacklisting.
Not surprising, really, that he would be more comfortable on the WhiteList….
Lest we forget – in 1989, Buchanan was more sympathetic to the notion of punishing blasphemy than to protecting Rushdie’s life.
