PAT BUCHANAN DOUSED WITH SALAD DRESSING *ROFFLE*

Pat Buchanan cut short an appearance Thursday after a student threw salad dressing on him.

KALAMAZOO, Michigan (AP) -- Commentator and former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan cut short an appearance after an opponent of his conservative views doused him with salad dressing.

"Stop the bigotry!" the demonstrator shouted as he hurled the liquid Thursday night during the program at Western Michigan University. The incident came just two days after another noted conservative, William Kristol, was struck by a pie during an appearance at a college in Indiana.

After he was hit, Buchanan cut short his question-and-answer session with the audience, saying, "Thank you all for coming, but I'm going to have to get my hair washed."

The demonstrator, identified by authorities as a 24-year-old student at Kalamazoo Valley Community College, was arrested and faces a misdemeanor charge of disturbing the peace. He was released on a $100 cash bond, pending his April 14 arraignment.

"He could have faced a felony assault charge, but Pat Buchanan decided to not press that charge," university spokesman Matt Kurz said.

Buchanan's visit had evoked controversy on campus because it fell on the birthday of the late Mexican-American labor leader Cesar Chavez. Buchanan favors tighter controls on immigration.

Kristol, editor of the influential conservative magazine The Weekly Standard and former chief of staff to Vice President Quayle, was splattered by a student during a speech Tuesday at Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana.

Members of the audience at the Quaker college jeered the student, then applauded as Kristol wiped the pie from his face and said, "Just let me finish this point." Kristol then completed his speech and took questions from the audience.

The student, who was not immediately identified, was suspended and could face expulsion following a disciplinary review, Earlham Provost Len Clark said Wednesday.

Clark also issued a written apology complimenting Kristol for his "graciousness."

Wash your own hair, you pussy.

did you know pat buchannan used to hang out and drink wild turkey with hunter s. thompson?

As if douchebag whorowitz wouldn't just make something up if he didn't have any ammo.

(not you dave)

who should shut up?

just because you dont agree with him (and please believe, i dont either) doesnt mean you get to be as disrespectful as you want to be. this is why democrats lose elections: complete jerk off college students who think their idiotic pranks count as political dialouge.

anyway, to his credit, pat seemed to handle this pretty gracefully.

i think the "this is why democrats [x]" comments are a red herring, but yeah, this was a dumb thing to do.

of course, pat buchannan is on the fringe of the republican party now, and im not saying that THIS particular action will have any real effect on anything.

and democrats have consistently lost elections (with the exception of clinton and carter) since a democratic president signed the civil rights act in 1964.

Really depends on who is doing the farting and who else is in the hot tub.

yes politics are personal, but more importantly they are about comprimise. the sign of any good political decision is that both sides walk away mildly unhappy (the quote is something like that, i think). but for people who are naturally liberal like you and I it seems disgusting that we would have to comprimise anything with someone who says such vicious and disgusting things.

but the only reason he has power is because in the bedrooms and dinning rooms of america there are millions who think even worse things. many of them are family. i know i can count my parents amongst the anti gay bush supporters, my mom once visited maine just to see where barbra bush vacationed. but should I smear their cars with shit and egg their houses? no, i allow them their opinions, however backward, and do my best to promote and support what i see to be right, because that is the idiotic justice of america.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." HL Mencken

His anti-war stances are the product of a mixture of anti-semitism and old-fashioned isolationism. He wrote a fascinating article during the Clinton administration casting doubt on NAFTA and pointing out that the Republican party for most of its history was a high-tariff party to protect maufacturing and labor at home.

He may be a throw-back, Father Coughlin type, but I cannot agree that the best way to resist him and his ideas is through sophomoric acts of violence or puerile attempts at political theory. His ideas can be resisted and anything that might remotely be perceived by his base as making him a martyr should be avoided. They love that shit. Pat graciously deferred his opportunity to press charges, which makes him look magnanimous to his people, so in terms of hearts and minds, I think this stuff actually backfires.

That was meant to read 'political theater'.

I'm glad kids on the right haven't gotten into pranking, cuz I'd be really steamed if someone did this to Eleanor Clift.

"weird"

you're acting like you're talking about someone who isn't Pat Buchanan

he really barfs up some amazingly shameless "separate but equal" nostalgia stuff about segregation, it's not a surprise but it's still annoying, stupid, and (now) self pitying

"look at all of this weird anti-Semetic stuff Louis Farrakhan is saying in his new book"

I use the word weird here b/c of the deep obsession dude has with this stuff, and obviously disproportionately large amounts of time he's thought about it.

Maybe "creepy" is a better term.

It irks me that an Irish Catholic doesn't uinderstand the dangers of glossing over racism in American history and identity - but then it always has. Same for his sister, too.
