Yesterday, during a discussion about the Congressional Black Caucus on MSNBC’s Tucker, radio talk show host Bill Press called long time political pundit and MSNBC contributor Pat Buchanan a “white supremacist.”
Buchanan’s long history of racism has been well documented by the media watchdog group FAIR. Here is a sampling:

- In his 1988 autobiography, “Right from the Beginning,” on race relations in the late 1940s and early 1950s: “There were no politics to polarize us then, to magnify every slight. The ‘negroes’ of Washington had their public schools, restaurants, bars, movie houses, playgrounds and churches; and we had ours.”

- In a 1990 column that attempted to justify apartheid in South Africa, he denounced the notion that “white rule of a black majority is inherently wrong. Where did we get that idea? The Founding Fathers did not believe this.”

- A 1989 column referred admiringly to the apartheid regime as the “Boer Republic”: “Why are Americans collaborating in a UN conspiracy to ruin her with sanctions?“
