I can't find anything that's wrong, other than saying "lifelong, Sharpton-like obsession with race" is over the top.

Holder has shown impermissible bias by relating his experiences to MIchael Brown.

You really can't. What Pat Buchanan said was entirely truthful. I truly fear Officer Wilson is fixing to be railroaded into prison, or at least have his life ruined.

He passes off hearsay as evidence, then whines about the villification of Wilson. Please.

I skimmed through a few of his articles and can't find anything wrong with them.

If yall missed the Brian Lamb/CSpan/Q&A interview with Buchanan last Sunday night...you missed a treat.

Pat Buchanan is one of the most honest and light-hearted politicos out there; and that virtue is one his greatest political burdens. Telling the whole truth, up on that Hill, assures personal character destruction (racist, bigot, heartless, etc.) and a MSM 'scarlet letter' for life.

And the "Sharpton-like obsession with race" quote could be applied to the Reverend Wright/"my spiritual mentor" Obama just a aptly. But a lot of people just can't face the truth, even when the top LE officials in the land butt into and utterly poison the due process of Law with stuff like "if I had a son..." comments. And that is why this Nation is going to hell, and will pay a dear price for worshiping PC, and censoring honest critique.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.



Live and learn. Humanity moving up!

I think Pat is off-base, and I think it's telling that he conveniently failed to mention the Jack-In-The-Box case that turned so many people against McCulloch. He also failed to mention Holder's record as the U.S. Attorney for D.C. from 1993 to 1997, when Holder was repeatedly accused of being too lenient on police misconduct and police shootings of civilians doubled. Buchanan is also forgetting that Holder ignored the "lynch mob" when they wanted him to prosecute George Zimmerman. Does he think Al Sharpton would have ignored them if he had been the Attorney General? Both Holder and McCulloch have had life experiences that have had an impact of them, but I would say that McCulloch experiences are more profound and indelible than Holder's, lest we also include all the horror stories that Holder has no doubt heard from his in-laws. However, this doesn't mean that either one of them should be pulled off the case. I think the Black politicians asking for McCulloch's removal are misguided and I think Pat is misguided. Besides, elections have consequences, and the folks clamouring for their removal should wait till the next election to vent their frustration rather than be poor sports aboout it.

Buchanan is a straight shooter and would have made a good President if not for his moniker as a right-wing religious radical perpetuated of course by the liberal progressive media.

White prosecutors have empathized with their race for 250 years.

Having a black man possibly do the same thing melts this board's mind.

I voted for Pat Buchanan for President. I think he would have made a fine President. So I guess you could call me a former member of the Buchanan Brigade. His book: The Death of the West: How Dying Populations and Immigrant Invasions Imperil Our Country and Civilization from 2002 is very relevant to what this country is facing today.

Not going to lie but I'd feel a mite strange having discourse with a collection of words viewed electronically.

He's pretty right in most respects, most of the time.

Yet, in 23 years, McCulloch has convicted many cops of many crimes
Can someone link me some backup for this statement?

Holder isn't involved in the case directly.... so straw man argument.

I have no problem if the St. Louis County Prosecutor is subbed out to remove any appearance of bias.

His story describes only one of two possible scenarios when all of the facts aren't in yet. Just as bad as anyone jumping to conclusions on either side.

He describes some parts of the autopsy as fact even though we haven't seen everything from all 3 coroner's reports.
