That full letter is a load of nonsense! How is his first amendment right being denied? MSNBC is a business and their customers no longer wish to listen to Pat so MSNBC, as a private company, chooses to no longer have him on the air. Its called business and I guess Pat is bad for it.
Who references anything about the First Amendment?? Except you? Intolerance, Bigotry, that's the what the firing is all about.
Intolerant -- referring to people opposed to free speech for those with whom they disagree. Bigoted -- referring to those who are offended by those who speak in favor of traditional moral values.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The problem is, Robert, that the "moral" values you are in favor of are not traditional for everyone nor are they particularly moral. They would be more accurately described, perhaps, as evangelical moral values. (I would argue fanatical or extremist evangelical moral values, but I digress.)
For example, they are not even traditional for the GOP.
There are armed formations training up for the mission now.
Twelve Pretty Racist Or Just Crazy Quotes From Pat Buchanan’s New Book
Hispanic Americans are incapable of maintaining American values?
Buchanan is delusional if he thinks a little diversity in the workplace is anything approaching what life was like under Jim Crow laws.
"If whites aren't in charge, they will be oppressed."
Of course before the 1960s, there was little-to-no social, racial, or gender equality.
America is not America if it is not European?
'nuff said.
Apparently, Buchanan's memory does not reach back prior to the 1970s.
This is merely delusional. We were completely separated but we "shared a country and a culture"? We were one nation?
We were Americans, but some Americans were more American than others and that is what Buchanan is regretting the loss of.
In the Orwellian world of CONservatives, it is bigoted to be against bigotry, intolerant to be against intolerance and racist to be against racism.
Whose tradition?
Whose morals?
Whose values?
None of these terms are absolutes.
So??? Where's the racism????
Intolerance, Bigotry, that's the what the firing is all about.
Please stop being disingenuous.
Are you honestly going to try to defend the position that nothing in that post was racist?
Dude, the dumb SOB thinks segregation was a good thing.So??? Where's the racism????

Why good sir unless someone stole your login and password it was you in your second post on this thread. If your account has been hijacked you should report it to a moderator.
(I highlighted it for you to avoid confusion!)
To avoid further confusion here is the text of the first amendment, again highlighted for your understanding.
If that racist piece of crap wants to stand up and say that it is his right right to tell a bunch of insecure, mouth-breathing cretins that they are going to be victims of the brown people unless they rise up and resist people like me, and those mouth-breathing cretins have firearms, he poses a threat to my life.If you seek to turn off somebody's micophone, you are against him speaking freely, first amendment or no first amendment. Get it?????
