Anti-Semitic parasite Pat Buchanan, who deflects criticism of his racist crankery by hiding behind his lack luster service to Ronald Reagan, has embarrassed the Conservative movement … again:
Addressing the Knesset on the 60th anniversary of Israel’s birth, Bush said those who say we should negotiate with Iran or Hamas are like the fools who said we should negotiate with Adolf Hitler.
“As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared, ‘Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement. …”
Again, Bush has made a hash of history.
Appeasement is the name given to what Neville Chamberlain did at Munich in September 1938. Rather than fight Germany in another great war — to keep 3.5 million Germans under a Czech rule they despised — he agreed to their peaceful transfer to German rule. With these Germans went the lands their ancestors had lived upon for centuries, German Bohemia, or the Sudetenland.
Chamberlain’s negotiated deal with Hitler averted a European war — at the expense of the Czech nation. That was appeasement.
German tanks, however, did not roll into Poland until a year later, Sept. 1, 1939. Why did the tanks roll? Because Poland refused to negotiate over Danzig, a Baltic port of 350,000 that was 95 percent German and had been taken from Germany at the Paris peace conference of 1919, in violation of Wilson’s 14 Points and his principle of self-determination.
Hitler had not wanted war with Poland. He had wanted an alliance with Poland in his anti-Comintern pact against Joseph Stalin.
But the Poles refused to negotiate. Why? Because they were a proud, defiant, heroic people and because Neville Chamberlain had insanely given an unsolicited war guarantee to Poland. If Hitler invaded, Chamberlain told the Poles, Britain would declare war on Germany.
From March to August 1939, Hitler tried to negotiate Danzig. But the Poles, confident in their British war guarantee, refused. So, Hitler cut his deal with Stalin, and the two invaded and divided Poland.
The cost of the war that came of a refusal to negotiate Danzig was millions of Polish dead, the Katyn massacre, Treblinka, Sobibor, Auschwitz, the annihilation of the Home Army in the Warsaw uprising of 1944, and 50 years of Nazi and Stalinist occupation, barbarism and terror.
In that same speech to the Knesset, Bush dismissed the idea we could ever successfully negotiate with Hamas, Hezbollah or Iran:
“Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them that they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before.”
O.K. so let me get this straight. Hitler was, in essence, right to invade Poland in conjunction with Stalin? Really?
The bloodshed and barbarity of the Communist and National Socialist rulers of Poland is ultimately the fault of the Polish who refused to knuckle under and let the “German” parts of Poland be returned to Germany?
This is a strange thesis from the author of State of Emergency: The Third World Invasion and Conquest of America. Strange because by his logic Mexico has legitimate claim to areas America purchased from Mexico after the Mexican war. By Pat’s estimation we should be negotiating with the Mexican government to return Texas and New Mexico before a war breaks out.
But Pat’s not really the kind of person who’d want the government to allow “Aztlan” forces to butcher Americans in their homes. His new analysis is aimed squarely at one target, his favorite target. Jews.
After all Pat’s breathless Townhall buffoonery is a response to President Bush’s speech at the Knesset. This is what set Buchanan, a “right wing populist” who is known to be “soft on Hitler” and to criticize Israel’s military and being “un-Christian,” into a frenzy of historical revisionism. Buchanan’s main point is that Israel, while being picked apart by rocket fire and terror blasts, is ultimately setting themselves for another holocaust that they themselves will be responsible for.
To Buchanan Israel is Poland, Hamas and Fatah are the Nazis and the Communists, and this time we can make the “right” (no pun intended) decision to watch as Israel is destroyed, its people enslaved and murdered. When Bush implies the American people would do more than watch our allies die horribly Buchanan cannot help but expose himself for what he is.
Pat Buchanan isn’t a Conservative, he’s a racist, an anti-Semite and an anti-American crank who hates diversity, change and American power. He longs for the old days when Whites ran the world (but took no responsibility for it), Mexicans stayed on their side of the Rio Grande and killing Jews was no big deal.
Isn’t it time for him take his Reform Party ball and hook up with David Duke? And he can take Ron Paul with him. I think I can speak for the majority of Republicans when I say Pat Buchanan isn’t welcome in our tent anymore. No one who defends Hitler is.
Gateway Pundit says shame on Townhall for publishing this tripe. One Jerusalem has more.
