you know & feel that he’s a bigot at heart. And he’s not ashamed of it, but clever enough not to say it outright. Media Matters does a great job of retrieving the facts to prove that. Normally it’s hard to prove someone’s a bigot but Pat Buchanan‘s history makes it easy to prove. He’d probably even be proud anyone gave him that much attention. It’d take too much education and convincing to discuss how minorities and immigrants provide most of America’s wealth, ideas and economic generation so we’ll skip this minor fact (sarcasm). Proving someone’s a bigot is like excrement: you may not be able to prove it for sure sure, but you sure know it when you see it.
Comment for how you’ll discredit and embarrass the bigot.
