Pat Buchanan with the help of Mike Barnicle earns his racist bona fides. . .

. . .in what should have been a responsible discussion of Attorney General Eric Holder's comments about race Dr. Eric Michael Dyson and Pat Buchanan appeared on today's HARDBALL. The discussion which was moderated by Mike Barnicle who was sitting in for Chris Matthews quickly disintegrated when Pat Buchanan lashed out at Black institutions, without acknowledging their reasons for even existing, and then he basically ran down a list of crime statistics and out of wedlock births.

Question for Pat "Proud Racist" Buchanan who seethed with anger as spoke "honestly" about race. How does listing crime statistics move the discussion forward?

Not only did Pat Buchanan earn his racist bona fides during this discussion, but alas I saw the racist side of Mike Barnicle. I could not believe his comment. After Buchanan's tirade on the ills of the black community, Barnicle chimes in and says something to the effect that " and then they wonder why they can't live next door to us in the suburbs. (they being the blacks and us being the whites); I was totally blown away. Why were Barnicle's racist comments excluded from this video. Everyone knows Buchanan is a racist jerk, but Barnicle's comments were very revealing. I gave him more credit than he obviously deserved. Shame on you Barnicle!

We agree. We just watched it again via TiVo and we may put this comments up as well.

Barnicle has no scruples. He is a known plagiarizer who was retained by MSNBC to be a rich man's Jimmy Breslin, as an intellectual thief, he fits right in.

Buchanan can lull you with his folksy good humor, but then unleashes some tremendously ignorant comments that get to the heart of how he thinks. I didn't realize Banicles feelings, but they fit with the history of Bostonian racism.

Unbelievable? Well, I guess not. Perhaps there's part of me that doesn't want to believe its true. That thin-skinned, bloody bubble has been burst wide open!!!!! My eyes are certainly wide open when it comes to the state of racial discourse, relations, white guilt et al in this country. But, I must admit I found this outburst coming from an alleged pundit on a major cable news outlet shocking! I am sickened by Buchanan's incredibly vitriolic racist outburst. Clearly he assumes in calling America a nation of cowards Atty Gen. Holder is addressing whites only. This automatically puts everyone else in a categorey other than American. A fantastic demonstration of his ignorance.His comments speak for themselves', so I will not repeat any of them. Clearly Mr. Buchanan blatantly illustrates Atty Gen. Holder's point. Shameful... And where was the outrage in the press? I looked in newspapers, watched for it on T.V....anywhere. Did not find it. Its dangerous to have this kind of acrimony unleashed unchallenged. In one fell swoop Buchanan tries to erase this countries racist history. He needs to rant not about what this country's done for blacks and other minorities, but about what we have done for this country despite being deemed chattel, 2/3rds of a person, second class citizens, being interned, parodied insultingly I could go on and on.

Any time whites talk honestly about race they are slammed as being racist, because blacks as a whole suck and cause nothing but blight. For instance, those chimp cartoons had nothing to do with race. My friends and family have been assaulted, attacked, robbed and murdered by blacks and none of them did a thing like that to any black. This is just nothing but cheap race hustling from the US's premier affirmative action intellectual.
