OK, OK, Pat "Martin Luther King was one of the most divisive men" Buchanan didn't exactly say the words "get off my lawn," but he might as well have. As the Daily Intel writes:
...Maddow early on detects that Buchanan is about to go on a really questionable rant, and allows him to steer the conversation toward the topic of affirmative action in general, rather than the specific qualifications of Sotomayor, whom he clearly knows little about that he didn't read in the comments section of michellemalkin.com. Once fixed on the topic, Buchanan lets himself get more and more worked up about the fact that minorities and women are taking advantage of the system to get ahead in America, which isn't fair because white men only got 200 years to take advantage of it for just themselves. But really, the conversation between Maddow and Buchanan is more of an awesomely simple explanation for why you liberal yuppies and your Jim Beam–smelling white grandpas (or, if you are not white, a Jim Beam–smelling gramps of your choice) will never understand one another. He just does not comprehend why a group should ever get special treatment, and you just do not comprehend what he thinks he's seeing when he looks in a mirror.What Pat Buchanan sees when he looks int he mirror? Ha, that's a laugh. Self awareness? Self reflection? Nah. Instead, for today's "conservative" Republican, it's all about screaming "socialism" and "terrorists" and "Islamofascists" and "the horrors of everyone having healthcare" and...well, you get the idea. What a party! ;)
