      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.

          Good lord this is asinine. Our society has asked and answered these questions but Buchanan wants to keep the segregationist filibuster going
