The list is:
1. Wanted to close the borders to protect white dominance.
2. Blamed lower test scores on minorities.
3. Claimed Jerry Sandusky’s atrocities are because of “Homosexual marriage".
4. Said the Jewish population in the United States dropped in the 90s because Jews aborted all their babies.
5. Asserted Anders Breivik, who murdered 77 people including 69 teens in Norway, “may have been right.”
6. Claimed that all great nations punish the gays.
7. Penned “The Affirmative Action Nobel.”
8. Argued that Poland and the United Kingdom had it coming in World War II.
9. Dabbled in Holocaust denial.
10. Argued Hitler was an individual of “great courage.”

The better question is why did it take so long?

Can you imagine having "crazy uncle" Pat over at Thanksgiving? Indeed - WHY did it take so long to kick this man, so obviously consumed with hate - to the curb.

I wonder why Chris Matthews and Joe Scarborough defended Buchanan? Seems like they thought it was ok as long as he didn't wear a white robe on their shows.

Buchanan is one of those about whom we say that he most likely keeps his white robes on the back of the door, instead of under the bed.

His history of public anti-semitism and racism was really long and documented.

I'd guess he was cutting into MSNBC ratings, I certainly watched less when he was likely to be on.

Why did it take so long?

These individuals who want a monoculture - they should move out of the US, which is inherently diverse. It has immigrant communities from nearly everywhere.

And it looks like even Germany is no refuge for the white racist, either.
