      Joe Klein's review of Pat Buchanan's new book is a good example of how centrist liberalism can't deal with fascismhttps://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/08/books/review/nixons-white-house-wars-patrick-j-buchanan.html?hpw&rref=books&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=well-region&region=bottom-well&WT.nav=bottom-well …

      The key to understanding Buchanan is that he means what he says & is not a troll. Gays are "sodomites," Apartheid was grand, etc.

      When Buchanan says UK & USA shouldn't have fought Hitler, he means it.

      When Buchanan wrote in a memo to Nixon that integration won't work because blacks have low IQ, he meant it. Not a troll. He's serious.

      Klein's position is Buchanan says these horrific things to troll liberals. That does a disservice to Buchanan who is more serious than Klein

      Here's the ending of Klein's piece, where he tells not to take Buchanan's "gleeful excesses" so seriously.pic.twitter.com/jrAjEUseCm

          agree with everything you said & would add even if Buchanan wasn't serious it doesn't matter bc his readers *would* believe it

          I agree with Klein that Buchanan deserves serious attention but that also means not white-washing Buchanan's racism, homophobia etd

          Thinking Pat Buchanan is just a troll is weirdly misguided

          I wonder how many American patriots who accuse others of being humorless would be willing to watch a 2-hour parody movie of 9/11.

          Or listen to jokes about Americans being stupid, made by foreigners rather than by Americans.

          Far worse to be humorless leftists (feminists, queers, people of color) taking offense than fascists
