Pat Buchanan's Nightmare? Black, Asian, Hispanic Voting Rates Rising
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyPat Buchanan and Chuck D. Now that's a show I would pay to see.In 1990's "Fear of a Black Planet," the third album from Chuck D's influential hip-hop group Public Enemy, the title-track lyrics asked: "What is pure? Who is pure? Is it European state of being? I'm not sure."Conservative commentator Pat Buchanan would seem to have no such uncertainty. He counseled Republicans to score political points during the Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Judge Sonia Sotomayor by stoking white resentment. On Rachel Maddow's show on MSNBC, he said: "This has been a country built basically by white ...
English-Only Group Can't Spell the Word 'Conference'
By David Knowles - Politics DailyShould English be the official language of the United States? That assertion was made over the weekend at a conference hosted by talk-show personality and former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan. Oddly, as the featured speakers delivered their remarks ridiculing Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor for her supposed lack of English proficiency while at Princeton University, and warning that the Obama administration is "going to gradually institute institutional bilingualism in the country," they did so beneath a large banner that contained a doozy of a typo.

Obama Abandons 'Buy American' Stimulus Provision
By David Knowles - Politics DailyPresident Barack Obama has changed his mind as to whether the massive stimulus bill that is expected to be approved by Congress today should include one or more strict, "Buy American" provisions in it. Back before the economy crumbled before our very eyes, Obama espoused the ideals of the Buy American philosophy, even using the phrase in promotional materials. Now, however, Obama has backed away from mandating such policies. To the dismay of big labor, as the stimulus bill currently stands, previously included made-in-America restrictions have been dropped. Politico explains:The current Buy ...
MSNBC Analyst Has a Meltdown
By Denise Williams - Politics DailyPatrick J. Buchanan, MSNBC's Senior Political Analyst, author and all-around "save the white race from annihilation and extinction" advocate comes closer and closer to losing it completely. Buchanan, whom I had profiled in some detail here, has turned into the white man's foil during this primary season on MSNBC. Always quick to point out the problems with Obama's capture of the lunch bucket crowd and how he can't get out the white vote, Buchanan has warmed to Senator Clinton for becoming the "everyman" that he feels is necessary to capture the race for the Dems. The more Obama wins, the more ...
Your Media: Patrick Buchanan, Analyst, MSNBC
By Denise Williams - Politics DailyIn the run-up to this election, the media is not only paying scads of attention to the presidential race, but is also navel-gazing quite a bit. After the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries when so many newsies and pundits and pollsters we so horribly wrong about everything, many people wondered whether the media itself played a larger role in the tenor of elections than had been previously thought.Since the Reverend Jeremiah Wright/Barack Obama debacle has turned a nation's attention to matters of race, I'd like to start this new series, focused on major media pundits and their role in bringing ...
