Dear MSNBC, Why do you continue to have Pat Buchanan on your network?

Dear MSNBC,
 
Why do you continue to have Pat Buchanan on your network?
 
 

The Bigotry Of Pat Buchanan

Pat Buchanan wrote in his recent syndicated column that accused Norway mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik may be "evil," but when it comes to his reported belief that there's a coming "climactic conflict between a once-Christian West and an Islamic world ... Breivik may be right." Buchanan, who also serves as an MSNBC analyst, has a long history marred with bigotry and hostility towards non-whites.

BUCHANAN: "BREIVIK MAY BE RIGHT"

BUCHANAN'S LONG HISTORY OF BIGOTRY

BUCHANAN'S WAR AGAINST NON-WHITE IMMIGRANTS

BUCHANAN'S RECENT HISTORY ON MINORITIES, RACE-RELATIONS

BUCHANAN'S ANTI-GAY HISTORY

You need to get this hateful man off your payroll now, or you will lose viewers and advertisers. See what we did to FOXNews regarding Glenn Beck, well you folks are next.
Thanks for you time, and wise up Phil and Steve, unless you are now the lapdogs for Comcast?
 
Good night and good luck!
 
Best wishes always,
William D. Harasym
