Buchanan Writes Pro-Sarah-Palin Column
http://www.conservatives4palin.com/2010/08/pat-buchanan-newt-gingrich-is-political.htmlAnd hmmm, what do we have here.
Here is my current working theory on the Palin/Buchanan relationship. So, Sarah and Todd were fundraisers for Buchanan in 1996, and were at a minimum very friendly towards Pat in 1999. Maybe she really did support Steve Forbes in 2000 and maybe she didn't, but I am really starting to doubt that she had nothing to do with that Nazi prior to. In any event, when Sarah disavowed all ties to Buchanan in 2008 and pretended to be all pro-Jewish, it really angered Buchanan. He felt backstabbed. So, he went on the attack and started slamming her as a "neocon". Well--flash forward two years, and Palin has shown that most, if not all, of her pro-Israel posturing in 2008 was phony. Buchanan is reassured by his former ally and is now hoping to use her to his advantage in '12. So, he's starting to support her now, two years ahead of time.
(Oh, and Fag also defended the Ground Zero mosque in the process.)
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated. In particular, I would like to see your take on this, Chaim.

Pat Buchanan: Newt Gingrich is 'a Political Opportunist' Trying to Position Himself to the Right of Sarah Palin
By Hal
Via Politics Daily:
Fresh off his vacation, MSNBC's Pat Buchanan came out swinging Tuesday on "Morning Joe," calling former House Speaker Newt Gingrich a "political opportunist" for his comments about the proposed mosque in New York City.
On Monday, Gingrich compared the building of a proposed mosque near Ground Zero to Nazis putting up "a sign next to the Holocaust Museum" or "the Japanese putting up a site next to Pearl Harbor."
Buchanan argued that Gingrich's controversial comments were meant to position him to the right of his potential GOP primary opponent, Sarah Palin, on the issue.
