Pater Familias of a Deranged Crew |
Chossudovsky, Ottawa Loon |
Justin Raimondo, CA Loon |
I don't know why I just fixated on Pat Buchanan, but I did. He is so bizarre and Jew-crazy that I just had to feature his latest dementia. Champion of John Demjanjuk, the Sobibor killer, consort of Holocaust deniers and demonizer of Israel, he gets my vote for loon of the year. Of Demjanjuk, he recently said,
"the same satanic brew of hate and revenge that drove another innocent man up Calvary that first Good Friday 2,000 years ago."
Israel, however, remains in the crosshairs of this pathetic bigot. Buchanan's rants are "researched" by his shadowy media group called "Global Research." When you click on the "about" link you get this:
"The Centre for Research on Globalisation (CRG) is an independent research and media organization based in Montreal. The CRG is a registered non profit organization in the province of Quebec, Canada. "
The head of Global Research is Michel Chossudovsky, erstwhile economics professor, conspiracy theorist and - yes - Holocaust denier. In 2005 [PDF],
"B'nai B'rith Canada complained to the University of Ottawa in August 2005 that one of its faculty members, economist Michel Chossudovsky, maintains a web site that includes postings alleging Jewish conspiracies and denying the Holocaust. Articles on Chossudovsky's web site, www.globalresearch.ca, include "The Hilarious Auschwitz Story," "The HolyCo$t Lie is Finished," "Jewish Lies of Omission (about the 'Holocaust')," and "Jewish Hate Responsible For Largest Mass Killing at Dachau." Interviewed by The Ottawa Citizen, Chossudovsky said the postings are "anti-Zionist, not anti-Semitic."2

Such are Pat Buchanan's "researchers." The Great Man never saw a leftist organization that he despised except on the subject of Israel and the Jews. His take on the jihadists aboard the Mavi Marmara ship: "Israel Doctored the Evidence!" Read more Laroucheisms here.
There seems to be no trough dirty and deep enough to turn away Buchanan. Another of his favorite sources is Justin Raimondo, self-described "paleo-libertarian", far right (left?) - we're getting into murky territory here - who -oddly enough - asserts that Israeli intelligence knew in advance of the 9/11 attacks and deliberately denied the information to the United States. And, oh yes, Mr. Raimondo is a proud homophobe, forever battling the evils of gay politics.
Why anyone would take Buchanan seriously at this point - or any other - is a good question. And Natan Sharansky should never agree to debate him, or for that matter, agree to be in the same city.
