He Blames Blacks, "Militant Gays" Add a comment 15 Tweet [IMG]Each week, Queerty picks one blowhard, hypocrite, airhead, sanctimonious prick or other enemy of all that is queer to be the Douche of the Week. Have a nominee for DOTW? E-mail it to us at holla@queerty.com. Conservative nutjob Pat Buchanan is old-school crazy: He is often cited for his white-supremacist bigotry against people of color, Jews, homosexuals, immigrants-well, he's not picky, really. A senior advisor to Nixon, Ford and Reagan, Buchanan is also an author, columnist and talking head, among other things. It's no surprise, and frankly it's sorely overdue, that we're crown ol' Patty with our highest honor: The Douche of the Week! Recently Pat authored a new book, Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?, that's has caused something of a furor. (Chapter 4 is "The End of White America," about how this country's European "core" is being undermined by immigration.) Book don't sell themselves, though, so Buchanan went on a promotional tour and stopped by The Political Cesspool, a radio show that claims to represent a pro-white philosophy: "We wish to revive the White birthrate above replacement level fertility and beyond to grow the percentage of Whites in the world relative to other races." Sounds like the ideal audience for him. But Buchanan's book and his partnering up with a hate group ticked off civil-rights organizations ColorofChange.org and Credo Action, who gathered 270,000 signatures demanding MSNBC fire him. It looks like the network listened: Buchanan hasn't appeared on MSNBC since October. Network president Phil Griffin told reporters this weekend that Suicide of a Superpower and its barely veiled white-supremacist views were to blame for his absence-and might result in his never being invited back. What does our DOTW do in response? Oh, right, he blames the gays. During a radio interview with Sean Hannity on Tuesday Buchanan claimed his absence was because of the book tour and a subsequent illness in December. Then he went after "the usual suspects," as he calls them: "Look, for a long period of time the hard left-militant gay rights groups, militant... well, they call themselves civil-rights groups, but I'm not sure they're concerned about civil rights, people of color, [activist/policy wonk] Van Jones-These folks and others have been out to get Pat Buchanan off TV, deny him speeches [and] get his column canceled." Ah victimization, the last refuge of the Douche. But seriously, who are these "militant gays" Buchanan rails against-and can we join them? We look fabulous in camouflage. All together now: What a douche! Image via BBS Rock What do you think of this post?

Robert in NYC Typical of these right wing republican nutbags, always playing the victim when the tables are turned on them and of course, blaming gays for just about everything. Thank goodness this scum has gone from MSNBC. What about his militant low-information Fox freaking Tea Party scumbags? Posted: Jan 13, 2012 at 7:08 am . @ReplyReply to this comment . [Flag?] No. 4 . Mike UK . Member . 70 comments these sort of people never think they've done anything wrong so of course it's everyone elses fault when they get canned! until he bangs his head really hard and sees the light that's the way it's always going to be! gays and people of colour are an easy target in the blame game so are highly likely to be top of the list when fuckwits like him need someone to blame for their own bigoted actions!

Member . 1061 comments Meh, they've been using that militant homosexual line for ages, @Lance: . I even had my name on a list of "militant homosexuals" in a GOP pamphlet here in town(small southern town, probably printed in some hick's garage). Pat is gone, that's all that matters. Let him rant to the only people who care: right wing radio blowhards. Maybe Rush Limbaugh will give him a job. Posted: Jan 13, 2012 at 10:40 am . @ReplyReply to this comment . [Flag?] No. 8 . Chopper Man For the record, Buchanan wasn't an employee of MSNBC, so technically he couldn't be fired. He was a contracted consultant paid per appearance. The term "not inviting him back" is more appropriate than him being fired. But then again, Queerty does love its drama. Posted: Jan 13, 2012 at 10:50 am . @ReplyReply to this comment .

Cam So if gays are Militant just for wanting rights, then what does that make somebody like Buchanan who wants absolute power AND to take rights away from everybody else? Crazy? a Megalomaniac?

DavyJones The ridiculous content of his tripe aside; the fact that he refers to himself by name in the third person, and with the pronoun "him" all in the space of about 5 seconds is enough to make him a massive douche.... Add in the content, and I'm agreeing with Mr. T; I'm all for listing Pat as one of the Douches of the past several decades.... Posted: Jan 13, 2012 at 12:08 pm . @ReplyReply to this comment .

WillBFair Next we need to get rid of Tony Pekins. To help, go to: http://www.faithfulamerica.org/index.html and sign the petition. Actually, it's a religious site, so maybe don't go if your not religious. Or maybe go anyway. I don't know what the protocol is. Use your better judgement.
