Pat Buchanan didn't just have good ideas. He was right about almost everything. He's the most vindicated political figure of our lifetime. As for his "weird antisemitism," what are you referring to, exactly? People have been throwing that word at Buchanan for decades but I've
@MattWalshBlog I'll let 1999 Tucker Carlson explain https://x.com/Jesse_Leg/status...
@JoelWBerry Joel, you're giving me a video clip of someone else making claims about Buchanan 25 years ago. Can you show me the actual antisemitic quotes from Buchanan himself? Where did Buchanan express hatred of Jews? Give me chapter and verse. Exact quotes from the man himself.
@MattWalshBlog You asked for examples. Pat Buchanan called Capitol Hill Israeli occupied territory and claimed only Israel's amen corner in the U.S. pushed for the Gulf War. Do these decades-old, documented comments vindicate him?
@MattWalshBlog In a 1977 column, Buchanan said that despite Hitler’s anti-Semitic and genocidal tendencies, he was “an individual of great courage…. Hitler’s success was not based on his extraordinary gifts alone. His genius was an intuitive sense of the mushiness, the character flaws, the
@MattWalshBlog Buchanan had an inordinate fondness for Nazis on trial for war crimes. So, not strictly an antisemite, but definitely pro-Nazi. IMHO, it's disqualifying. In the extreme.
@MattWalshBlog Amazing how they always retreat to "anti-semitism" if you aren't Israel First.
@MattWalshBlog Defending later convicted nazis John Demjanjuk, Klaus Barbie, and Arthur Rudolph, accusing the DOJ of working for the KGB is a good start. Minimizing the holocaust on numerous occasions, including calling Treblinka a "transit camp", and referring to Hitler as "an individual of
@MattWalshBlog Oh c'mon, you know what he's referring to. Refuting examples on a case by case basis is a game more than thoughtfully acknowledging the reality of it. When you praise Hitler for his personal qualities yet refuse to add any context, people get the wrong idea of your plethora of
@MattWalshBlog Everything? Pro unions? That America is the problem? WE were responsible for 9/11? Noam Chomsky with an Irish name. Germany should have been allowed by the UK to win World War I? Churchill was the villain of WWII? Protectionism? And he asked the question "Will we survive
@MattWalshBlog Most notoriously, before the first Gulf War, he wrote that there were only two groups "beating the drums for the war in the Mideast," and that was the Israeli Defense Ministry and its "amen corner" in the United States, and then you went on to say later that "kids with names like
@MattWalshBlog Matt Walsh once again proving everyone who claims that he's on Ben Shapiro's leash is wrong.
@MattWalshBlog We need to detangle valid constructive criticism of particular harmful actors and factions of the Jewish population from those who exhibit indiscriminate hatred of Jewish people. There are valid perspectives on all sides of the issue of antisemitism, but they get caught up in the
@MattWalshBlog I don't know about antisemitism but he was less than truthful with his quotations of Churchill in his book "Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War". It would be good for those who make accusations to provide examples and I have a specific example below.
@MattWalshBlog The most vindicated political figure of our lifetime is Donald Trump. Trump has always said he’ll be a friend to Israel. Buchanan used inferences to suggest “Israel” is the problem. I’m sensing a pattern, but maybe this time the “anti Israel” stuff will work great. Good luck.
@MattWalshBlog Pat's remark, which outraged Abe Rosenthal so much he wrote an NYT column about it: "The only two groups beating the drums in favor of U.S. military action against Iraq are the Israeli Defense Ministry and its 'Amen Corner' in the United States." -Patrick Buchanan, Aug. 26, 1990.
@MattWalshBlog @majur_56 Imagine if he was throwing his weight around today … he wouldn’t even have had to be weird about his antisemitism. He could shout it from the rooftops and be among the top podcasters in the world. If none of this offends you. Keep walking. If it does, thanks for being
@MattWalshBlog I remember him being called anti-semitic for calling christian zionists the "hallelujah corner". How that connected, they were never able to say clearly.
@MattWalshBlog I remember reading The Death of the West almost 25 years ago. Everything he predicted came true. My Grandfather had a portrait of him in his study, apparently he was based and I didn't even realize it!
@MattWalshBlog Pat's campaign was co-chaired by an orthodox Jewish rabbi who kicked off all Pat's rally's across the country by blowing a "shofar” (rams horn).
@MattWalshBlog If you’ve read the Old Testament, by today’s standards, God is antisemitic and so is David, Isaiah, Micah and most of the prophets.
@MattWalshBlog Its like Trump's racism accusations .... I've yet to see an example of either one of these claims
@MattWalshBlog "Weird antisemitism" is a lack of loyalty to the nation of Israel. This is what the actual woke right has devolved into.
@MattWalshBlog “They charge us with antisemitism, The truth is, those hurling these charges harbor a 'passionate attachment' to a nation not our own that causes them to subordinate the interests of their own country and to act on an assumption that, somehow, what's good for Israel is good for
@MattWalshBlog You really need to take the time to read these comments, Matt. The overt racist and Nazi trash being commented is proof of the woke right crisis.
@MattWalshBlog A handful of words earned that opprobrium for Pat: ‘Israel’s Amen corner in Congress.” He was right, of course (from the beginning!) and willingly paid the price with a big Irish smile on his face. God bless him.
@MattWalshBlog Tucker said it best.
@MattWalshBlog Pat had Jewish people on his staff- He was critical of the Israel lobbies influence within the American government. He didn’t hate Jewish people, he hated the disproportionate influence a tiny minority of the total population has with the American gov/institutions.
@MattWalshBlog Matt, he didn’t ever wear an Israeli flag lapel pin. Even you couldn’t have missed the anti Semitic sentiment that conveys.
@MattWalshBlog People then and now easily confuse any criticism of Israel with antisemitism. Along with a little help from AIPAC.
@MattWalshBlog Buchanan was right too early. But he gets to finally see his ideas prevails and his analysis vindicated. The antisemitism canard is the weapon used by those unwilling or unable to refute his claims. It did not work yesterday. It won't work today.
@MattWalshBlog I accidentally started reading Pat’s books in reverse chronological order and it was heartbreaking seeing how right he was for so long and how much we lost ignoring his consistent warnings over decades.
