How is Pat Buchanan NOT considered the Godfather of the Tea Party? Or is he?

Check out these obviously racist quotes from Buchanan's new book "Suicide of the Superpower" courtesy of TPM:

From the chapter, “The End Of White America”: 

The white population will begin to shrink and, should present birth rates persist, slowly disappear. Hispanics already comprise 42 percent of New Mexico’s population, 37 percent of California’s, 38 percent of Texas’s, and over half the population of Arizona under the age of twenty. ……. Mexico is moving north. Ethnically, linguistically, and culturally, the verdict of 1848 is being overturned. Will this Mexican nation within a nation advance the goals of the Constitution—to “insure domestic tranquility” and “make us a more perfect union”? Or has our passivity in the face of this invasion imperiled our union? 

I know what you are thinking. "But Gryphen one example from a book does not necessarily prove racism."

But wait, there's more!

Also from the chapter, “The End Of White America”: 

Those who believe the rise to power of an Obama rainbow coalition of peoples of color means the whites who helped to engineer it will steer it are deluding themselves. The whites may discover what it is like to ride in the back of the bus. 

From the chapter “The Diversity Cult”: 

Americans who seek stricter immigration control have been charged with many social sins: racism, xenophobia, nativism. Yet none has sought to expel any fellow American based on color or creed. We have only sought to preserve the country we grew up in. Do not people everywhere do that, without being reviled? What motivates people who insist that America’s doors be held open wide until the European majority has disappeared? What is their grudge against the old America that eats at their heart? 

On crime: 

If [conservative political commentator Heather] Mac Donald’s statistics are accurate, 49 of every 50 muggings and murders in New York are the work of minorities. That might explain why black folks have trouble getting a cab. Every New York cabby must know the odds, should he pick up a man of color at night. 

From the chapter “‘The White Party’”: 

What the above points to is a strategy from which Republicans will recoil, a strategy to increase the GOP share of the white Christian vote and increase the turnout of that vote by specific appeals to social, cultural, and moral issues, and for equal justice for the emerging white minority. If the GOP is not the party of New Haven firefighter Frank Ricci and Cambridge cop James Crowley, it has no future. And although Howard Dean disparages the Republicans as the “white party,” why should Republicans be ashamed to represent the progeny of the men who founded, built, and defended America since her birth as a nation?

You know reading this kind of makes me wonder if Pat Buchanan might not be Rick Perry's long lost crazy uncle.

I cannot believe that Pat is treated like just any other pundit on MSNBC.  If he had his way, half of the journalists there would be forced to share one "colored" bathroom, so as not to get their n****r cooties on him and his fellow KKK brothers.

The man is a dinosaur, but what is worse is that he is a blatant racist who NEVER seems to get called on it. In my opinion he should NEVER be asked his political opinion, especially as it pertains to our President, because it is clear to me that he sees the world through the prism of prejudice and hate, and simply cannot be trusted to provide a reasonable and measured response to anything that has to do with President Obama, his policies, or his political future.
