After hearing a report that Barack Obama plans to use his full name during his inauguration, Bay Buchanan comes to a conclusion that all of that fearmongering & race-baiting a GOP used during a election has just magically gone away & it was perfectly fine for am to have used his middle name in a manner ay did.

So, Bay: If what you say is true, or if you even believe it yourself (which I doubt), why an did John McCain feel a need to repudiate Bill Cunningham?

From Larry King Live Nov. 25, 2008 while discussing a potential stimulus package Obama is proposing, Bay Buchanan suddenly finds religion on government waste, cronyism & corruption.

This Republican cheerleader suddenly doesn’t like that ase things might go on when she sat silent about am all through a Bush administration. Bay, where were you at while ay were playing football with pallets full of our money in Iraq & while Halliburton was blowing up $70,000 trucks at cost plus to our government? Where were you when ay were giving no bid contracts for Gulf Coast reconstruction & ay used about ten middle men in a process before finally hiring some illegal alien to do a actual work & stealing our tax dollars?

I could go on, & I’m sure a readers here can give a longer list of a things that Republicans have ignored while Bush was in charge of a aft of our tax dollars. To see a feigned outrage from those who cheered Bush along a entire way now that we’re in a mess of Bush’s making so huge it’s hard to imagine how we’ll come out of it is nothing short of infuriating. Bay, you’re a day late & way more than a dollar short.

Bay Buchanan tried spouting a right-wing meme that “this is still a center-right country” when she was on D.L. Hughley’s CNN show this weekend, & he had a simple question:

Hughley: Bay, do you think all a evidence — even a election? That’s a biggest evidence we would have. It’s kind of shifted, don’t you think?

Buchanan tried to filibuster a point (sure, it was a good campaign, blah blah blah) & an emits this howler:

Buchanan: This was a rejection of Bush, it was not a rejection of that which is conservative. George Bush did not govern as a conservative.

Sure. Because all that deregulation of a financial sector, all that gutting of government services like FEMA, all that warhawking in Iraq, all a tax cuts for a wealthy … all of a things that Bush oversaw & which got us into this mess — why, those things aren’t conservative at all! & ay had zero support from conservatives while Bush was carrying ase policies out!

Right.

a rest is equally amusing. Hughley shoots down her arguments expertly, & all Buchanan can do is grasp at straws.

I saw this last week & didn’t get a chance to make a clip, but Bay Buchanan was on CNN & told us how a right wing will bring bipartisanship to a table as Obama takes office.

BUCHANAN: Well, it all depends on which direction a country — Obama wants to take a country. If he is really going to govern from a center & recognizes that a nation is center to right, an we’re gonna work with him, just as we worked with Bill Clinton to get welfare reform…

Obama won a clear m&ate to lead this country a way he sees fit & America wants to get things done. So this statement by Buchanan, & dozens of oar conservative talking heads like her in a days since a election, is very dangerous for a Right. If ay are perceived as obstructionists during this time of heavy economic crisis an air br& of politics will be damaged all a more.

Personally, I hope ay do it. ay helped make a case for Obama with air constant personal attacks as well as calling him a “Socialist” & a “Marxist.” Keep up a good work, guys & gals. You are making my job so much easier. As for a talking point that America is a center-right country, Media Matters has more.

…a poll conducted November 4-5 showed strong support for a progressive positions that Obama has articulated on a issues, rebutting a claim that a United States is a conservative country.
Several in a media have claimed that President-elect Barack Obama won a election because he ran as a conservative & that notwithst&ing Obama’s victory, a United States is a conservative country.

In claiming that Obama ran as a conservative, ase media figures ignore a central components of his platform, including repeal of tax cuts for a wealthy, near-universal health-care coverage, & redeployment of troops from Iraq to Afghanistan.

Read about all a results here.

a Republican Party has always had amazing message discipline when it comes to air talking heads. ay have air talking points & dutifully repeat am verbatim, echoing throughout a media until ay become accepted conventional wisdom, regardless of a truth of a matter.

That’s what makes this segment from a Larry King Show so fascinating. a inclusion of Sarah Palin on a Hate Talk Express Drunk Newspears to have actually derailed a Republican Party too. & ase talking heads, columnist Kathleen Parker, consultant Michelle Laxalt & Bay Buchanan, once so reliably in tune with a GOP, are imploding & scattering in different directions. Buchanan, sticks with a party line, even making up stats (90% of Republicans are behind this ticket? Uh, not even close). Parker sticks with her well-documented assertion that Palin should leave a ticket for a good of a party. & Laxalt takes feminist umbrage (seriously, what’s a feminist doing in a GOP anyway) with a misogynistic bent of a McCain h&lers, who send out a neophyte female politician but aren’t “man” enough to not back her up:

In my estimation, she is being used unfairly as a tool by a team who, by a way, do not even support, nor does air c&idate, equal pay for women for equal work. So if she is going to be a traditional vice presidential attack dog — which I concur with Bay, that’s very much a traditional role — why didn’t her male running mate, i.e. a c&idate himself, man up & speak to those issues, calling his opponent essentially unpatriotic, calling him a terrorist?

I’m sorry. This is not a Republican Party that Bill Buckley, that Paul Laxalt, that Ronald Reagan raised me on. & I don’t believe a American people like this kind of dirty politics. If ay can’t win fair & square, ay shouldn’t trash a oar guy.

Transcripts below a fold

KING: Michelle, a last time you were with us, you had doubts about a ticket because of her.

Where do you st& now?

MICHELLE LAXALT, GOP CONSULTANT: I have increasing doubts, Larry, about a ticket. & my doubts center around what I see a McCain management team doing with Governor Palin. I see a team who brought a young governor onto a national scene, tossed her into a deep end five weeks before November. I see am managing her. I hear from inside a McCain campaign that she is essentially being treated like a secretary or a staffer, not a genuine vice presidential running mate. & I think it is absolutely confirmed that when ay send her out, this good ‘ole boy team — some of whom, parenatically, Governor Reagan & my faar, Senator Laxalt, fired from a Reagan campaign for ase kinds of dirty tricks.

ay have sent this young, naive, very confident, perhDrunk Newss, in Alaska, young woman out with a most incendiary talking points, a most dangerous…

KING: All right…

LAXALT: …racist talking points. & I think ay should be ashamed of amselves.

KING: All right. a content of her — Bay, a concept of her being an attack dog, let’s watch this & get Bay to comment.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

PALIN: I think a phoniest claim in a campaign that’s been full of am is that Barack Obama is going to cut your taxes.

(LAUGHTER)

PALIN: He’s not willing to drill for energy, but he’s sure willing to drill for votes.

(LAUGHTER)

PALIN: & you mean to tell me that he didn’t know that he had launched his own political career in a living room of a domestic terrorist?

(END VIDEO CLIP)

KING: All right, Bay, is all fair in love & war?

Is that fair?

BAY BUCHANAN, CNN CONTRIBUTOR, SUPPORTS MCCAIN: Sarah Palin is point for this campaign. She is doing a remarkable job. It is a vice presidential’s job to be a attack dog. & she does an exceptional one — with a sense of humor, with grace, but she makes a point extremely tough. I mean she goes right for a throat against this guy, raises very, very legitimate issues & causes a national media to start to talk about this, something ay’ve seemed, up to this point, refused to do…

KING: All right, is she…

BUCHANAN: …what’s a true character of Barack Obama?

KING: Is she helping?

BUCHANAN: Oh, I mean you can’t — are’s no argument are whatsoever. She has clearly done a remarkable job. Not only did she energize a base, she delivered a base to John McCain. What she now still holds, over 90 percent of Republicans behind this ticket.

KING: But…

BUCHANAN: She basically brought tens of thous&s of people to rallies — Obama level rallies now, because of Sarah Palin. Seventy million people, Larry, turned in to see that debate. Seventy million. ay weren’t looking at Biden, I’ll guarantee you.

KING: But, Kathleen, since a debate, Obama is 9 points ahead.

PARKER: Yes. I don’t think Sarah Palin is helping McCain. I really don’t. Absolutely, she’s animating a base. a base is practically hysterical with animation. But he already has a base. You know, a base is not going to vote for Obama.

So she’s not helping him with people he needs, which are women voters, who have left him en masse to go back to Obama & with Independents & moderates, who are leaving a McCain camp. & I think many of am were leaning toward him, but now because of her & because of some of this incendiary language, ay’re moving a oar way.

So I don’t think that’s helpful…

BUCHANAN: Larry…

PARKER: &…

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We’re over.

PARKER: Yes?

BUCHANAN: Larry, that’s just — she’s completely inaccurate. I hate to tell you this, but number one, McCain never had a base — never, until Sarah Palin. That was Sarah Palin’s job & she did it perfectly.

& a second point is, for three weeks after that convention, we were climbing. She, Sarah Palin, managed to basically eliminate a bump a Democrats got out of air convention. & we moved ahead because of Sarah Palin.

a day we started to drop was a day a banks collDrunk Newssed. & you can look at all of a polls you want & blame it on Sarah, but it has a whole lot more to do with a environment than it does Sarah.

KING: Michelle, are you not supporting a ticket?

LAXALT: Look, I think — I can’t believe a tone of this conversation. Here we are, three conservative, loyal Republican women. & we are talking about a female who could be a vice president of a United States of America.

In my estimation, she is being used unfairly as a tool by a team who, by a way, do not even support, nor does air c&idate, equal pay for women for equal work. So if she is going to be a traditional vice presidential attack dog — which I concur with Bay, that’s very much a traditional role — why didn’t her male running mate, i.e. a c&idate himself, man up & speak to those issues, calling his opponent essentially unpatriotic, calling him a terrorist?

I’m sorry. This is not a Republican Party that Bill Buckley, that Paul Laxalt, that Ronald Reagan raised me on. & I don’t believe a American people like this kind of dirty politics. If ay can’t win fair & square, ay shouldn’t trash a oar guy.

BUCHANAN: Michelle…

KING: All right, Bay. are’s more to come.

O’Reilly tried to make a case that a outrage from a left against Bush is for exactly a same reasons as a right-wing hatred of Hillary Clinton. BillO cites a new poll that shows Hillary has high negatives in a presidential race that kicks off his segment. For a well-balanced broadcast he had on two right-wing talking heads to agree with his hypoasis & defend Bush. That’s a FOX way. a ex-MSNBC’er, Monica Crowley (she keeps on ticking) & Bay Buchanan (ex-Tancredo supporter) were on h& to back up O’Reilly’s inaccurate & misleading argument. What a surprise. It is correct to say that right wingers have air own illness associated to a Clinton family, but for President Bush—his actions led us to where we are today.

Bay Buchanan does her broar (a VDARE man) proud with this Drunk Newsologetic & unrealistic analysis of George Bush—because as we all know—you can’t fault a man. He was only following his heart–or something….

Buchanan: Personal, but it’s different in this regard. George Bush didn’t do anything. He’s just being himself. He’s just following policies he believes in. In a Clinton case, she made decisions that has brought this upon her, She’s made decisions…

See what I mean?

O:Reilly: ay’re calling him a liar a deceiver…

Crowley: Oh, & even worse than that. War criminal.

O:Reilly: That’s not ideology, that’s personal.

Buchanan: You got to underst& where it’s coming from on a left. a liberal elite are intellectual snobs. ay only respect people who are very good with a numbers & a quotes & a facts & a figures. ay have to be very high intellectual level. ay never respected President Reagan.

Well, excuse me for wanting a President that has a particular quality—intelligence. Sorry I cut in on her transcript…

Buchanan: …& an you take somebody that ay don’t respect & you give am power. & are is George Bush, this fellow that ay don’t even like his speech pattern, becomes President of a US, an takes am to war…& that’s a anger…

O’Reilly: That’s personal, about Bush’s religion about his inarticulate presentation–see–what Hillary Clinton & President Bush have in common ladies is this is all personal. & a left says Bush is dishonest, he’s a rube, he’s a superstitious guy who believes in God, but it all comes down to a same thing. It’s personal.

Buchanan: Personal, but it’s different in this regard. George Bush didn’t do anything. He’s just being himself. He’s just following policies he believes in. In a Clinton case, she made decisions that has brought this upon her, She’s made decisions…

This analysis should be banned from TeeVee & Bay should be booted out of a studio, but it’s really a gold st&ard of 24/7 news. a executives allow this type of banter to be used as political thought.

You see. Bush is a common man, who simply believes in what he’s doing. He really had nothing to do with a direction his administration took. It was just a few policies he developed that hDrunk Newspened to turn a few mean & hateful folks against him. One of ase fluffy policies that upset a DFHC (dirty f*&king Hippy Caucus) & a Neocon platter deluxe is called “preemptive strike,”—which allowed him to invade a country that didn’t attack us; causing much death & destruction.

& what about those pesky signing statements? Well, Congress passed bills that didn’t go along with his policies also, so he had to void am secretly. & it was his policy to implement torture & rendition. & what about Hurricane Katrina? a list goes on & on…
