Rachel Maddow Corrects The Record On Pat Buchanan's Racist And Sexist Rants But She Fails To Understand The Real Problem

I have to give Rachel Maddow a lot of credit for correcting the outrageous lies and exposing the racism, sexism, and hypocrisy of Pat Buchanan. Clearly enough dust was kicked up by her viewers and she responded. That has to be commended and acknowledged.

With that said, Maddow clearly missed the point about much of the anger and disappointment that her viewers were feeling after Buchanan's sideshow performance. You didn't need a college degree to know that Pat Buchanan was telling some wild-ass whoppers and making some XXL-sized, KKK-endorsed, racist ravings. Once that crap has been tossed out into the air, it's out there forever, correcting the lies doesn't change that fact.

The real problem is that a dude like Pat Buchanan is getting paid six figures plus to spew his white supremacist ideology on national television. The real problem is that Rachel Maddow felt that she needed this dude on her show in the first damn place. And I really didn't get the impression from Maddow's segment this evening that she will not avoid having Buchanan on her show in the future and that's a real damn problem for me.

If MSNBC Can't Quit Racist And Sexist Asshole Pat Buchanan, Maybe It's Time Viewers Quit MSNBC - Starting With The Rachel Maddow Show

I completely understand that Pat Buchanan's role on MSNBC was to be the right wing nutzo conservative voice, but he has moved completely beyond that role long ago. He's just plain nasty and disrespectful. He's nothing but a white supremacist with a mainstream news platform. It's disgraceful and disgusting.

It's time for MSNBC to cut him loose or it's time for a boycott of MSNBC news shows that continue to give this racist and sexist man a platform to spew his bile.

Buchanan's insanely racist and sexist rantings on the Rachel Maddow Show last night was stunning not only in it's viciousness and ignorance, not just with the completely dishonest and baseless attacks on Judge Sonia Sotomayor, but in it's complete naked hatred and contempt of any Americans who are not white.

Flat-out ugly, free-form, racial hatred on open display on national television, we might has well been watching a KKK convention speech live. All that was missing was the use of plain old fashioned racial slurs like "nigga" or "wetback" because it was clearly obvious that Buchanan would have no trouble making that switch on a dime.

I was not impressed with Rachel Maddow's feeble response when she actually managed to get a word in. Does Maddow have a damn clue who in the hell her audience actually is? As a woman of color, I don't want to tune into the "progressive" Rachel Maddow Show and get exposed to disgusting racialized vomit of a Nazi lunatic like Pat Buchanan. This is not the first time, Maddow has had this experience with Buchanan. I don't get why she would insist on having him on her show.

The bottom line is just this - It's time for MSNBC to cut him loose or it's time for a boycott of MSNBC news shows that continue to give this racist and sexist man a platform to spew his bile.
