Pat Buchanan Refuses to Apologize for Calling President Obama a “Boy” on Television

by Staff,

MSNBC commentator Pat Buchanan refused to apologize for calling President Obama

a “boy” on nationa

l television.  Speaking to Rev. Al Sharpton on the network, Buchanan referred to

President Obama as “your boy” to Rev. Sharpton, sparking an on-air fight that went viral on the Internet.

“Some folks took what I said as some kind of a slur,” Buchanan said on Morning Joe. ”None was meant, none was intended, none was delivered.”

Most interesting was that on the same day, Buchanan wrote a column stating that the Tea Party was going to “nail the coonskin to the wall,” referencing the debt ceiling negotiations with President Obama.   His appearance on Morning Joe was accompanied by Mark Halperin, the man who was suspended for referring to President Obama as a “d*ck.”

“Your boy, Barack Obama, caved…” Buchanan said to Sharpton.

Sharpton fired back at Buchanan.

“My what?” he said. “My president, Barack Obama? What did you say?”

“He’s your boy in the ring,” Buchanan said, laughing.

“He’s nobody’s boy,” Sharpton responded.  “He’s your president, and he’s our president, and that’s what y’all don’t get through your head.”

Pat Buchanan has been accused of racism on multiple occasions in the past, and some wonder if he uses specific language to rile up those who disagree with him.   Groups are petitioning MSNBC to fire Buchanan, but the network has not yet made a statement on the matter.

    We must understand there will always be people like Buchanan in our World, we can not change who they are, they say hateful things to offend a person, when they are filled with lack of respect and no real morals on who they are, so they lash out hoping to feel better about who they are, when in essence their envy over rule how ignorant they really are.

    There’s something about the way Buchanan look, that say, what he said to Rev Al, came as no surprise, I am sure he wanted to confront Rev. Al, with a remark like this towards President Obama for a while and he build up his nerves to do so and Rev. Al, did not take it lightly which I respect him (Rev Al) for statement, these so right wing should realize President Obama are our President which means any American Citizens has every right to show him RESPECT to the deepest degree but by him being a man of color they see this an wrong in their eyes.

    It’s very sad even it 2011 we are still face with racial issues. But as it is written on the wall, there will always be conflict between the races.

    “Buchanan wrote a column stating that the Tea Party was going to ‘nail
    the coonskin to the wall,’ referencing the debt ceiling negotiations
    with President Obama….” Unfortunately, this is yet another example and further confirmation of how Satan uses his media to spread hate along “skin color lines.” I strongly recommend that we begin to lay down the ground work to form our own political party, because if we don’t, these offensive and extremely disgusting remarks will not only continue but will also escalate. It’s up to us to embrace our “God Given Right” and start moving forward for the sake of our children!
