PAT BUCHANAN'S VIOLENT SUPPORT BASE
30 May 2009

One People's Project
He writes articles passionately defending a World War Two Nazi war criminal from whom he sees as "satanic" Jews.
The executive director of his political action committee is currently facing felony assault hate crime charges in Washington DC.
A violent neo-Nazi was on the Maryland executive board of his presidential campaign.
This scenario is typical among the extremist white power lunatic fringe scene and it hardly warrants a response.
But, what happens when this is the work of one man who enjoys a large following of popular political support?
The man at the nexus of this web of bigotry is none other than frequent commentator on MSNBC, news columnist and political leader: Patrick J. Buchanan.
