Pat Buchanan blames 'militant gay rights groups' for being knocked off MSNBC

[Note: clip is audio only.] Notorious bigot Pat Buchanan, whose A-list friends across the political spectrum have long vouched for his being a nice guy, talks on Sean Hannity's radio show about why he has disappeared as a regular talking-head on MSNBC. First he cited an illness, but he soon fingered "the hard left" (which sounds like a porn video) and "militant gay rights groups." Think Progress suggests that Buchanan's latest book, Suicide of a Superpower, with chapter titles like “The End of White America” and “The Death of Christian America,” has made the network brass reluctant to give him airtime to hawk it. If that is true, perhaps MSNBC president Phil Griffin can explain how he missed Buchanan's racist bigotry until now. But whatever the story turns out to be, I haven't been missing him on "Morning Joe."

In any case, I doubt we deserve the credit for Pat's apparent demise, but if someone wants to buy us a drink, who are we to argue?
