Palin supported Pat Buchanan in 2000

Wow. Not only our first Woman Vice President, but our first Fascist Vice President. At this point, A McCain presidency pretty much assures a large, if not nuclear war. This choice he made today does not bode well for the American people.

On the one hand -- this is disappointing that any one would associate with Buchanan after 1992. That shows bad judgement.

On the other hand, how can the Democrats feign moral indignation when the head of their ticket played adopted son to a man who screamed God Damn America for twenty years?

I suppose when the issue comes up Palin had better disavow any connection to him after his visit to her suburb in 99.

Well, at least McCain and Palin have their Rev.Wright.

I assume you put it to sleep.

No. It was eaten by a fox...or ran away.

Anybody who has ever supported Buchanan is nothing more than a kook.

For the record, Forbes isn't much better if that happened to be her choice IMO. It's really just a difference between what sort of far-right wing whack job you prefer.

Well, it does sort of depend on which election cycle we're talking about.  Forbes was kind of the Mitt Romney of the 1990s.  Back in 1996, I'm not sure if he could be said to support any "far-right" policies other than the flat tax (if that counts).  His campaign was purely about economic issues, and he completely deemphasized social issues (and was in fact pro-choice on abortion).  Then, in between the 1996 and 2000 cycles, he had a disingenuous-seeming conversion on abortions and other social issues, and moved well to the right.

I thought he was just another right-wing hack who compared abortion to slavery. Anyways, Forbes was simply right-wing and Buchanan is far-right. I mean, one is basically a fascist and the other one, though being super-rich isn't a bad thing, is homicidally greedy.
