Not to hijack the thread, but yes, Pat Buchanan is a pretty vocal racist, bigot, and Christian supremecist. He hates almost anyone who is not a White Anglo Saxon Protestant male American or European. I like a lot of what he has to say on other issues ie war, interventionism, taxes, so much of my opinion is based on the unpleasant undertones I hear in almost every interview he gives, but if you want direct quotes:

Trying to justify apartheid in South Africa, he denounced the notion that "white rule of a black majority is inherently wrong. Where did we get that idea? The Founding Fathers did not believe this."

(syndicated column, 9/17/89)
