Pat buchanan doused with salad dressing

KALAMAZOO, Mich. - Commentator and former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan cut short an appearance after an opponent of his conservative views doused him with salad dressing.

"Stop the bigotry!" the demonstrator shouted as he hurled the liquid Thursday night during the program at Western Michigan University. The incident came just two days after another noted conservative, William Kristol, was struck by a pie during an appearance at a college in Indiana.

After he was hit, Buchanan cut short his question-and-answer session with the audience, saying, "Thank you all for coming, but I'm going to have to get my hair washed."

The demonstrator, identified by authorities as a 24-year-old student at Kalamazoo Valley Community College, was arrested and faces a misdemeanor charge of disturbing the peace. He was released on a $100 cash bond, pending his April 14 arraignment.

"He could have faced a felony assault charge, but Pat Buchanan decided to not press that charge," university spokesman Matt Kurz said.

Buchanan's visit had evoked controversy on campus because it fell on the birthday of the late Mexican-American labor leader Cesar Chavez. Buchanan favors tighter controls on immigration.

Kristol, editor of the influential conservative magazine The Weekly Standard and former chief of staff to Vice President Quayle, was splattered by a student during a speech Tuesday at Earlham College in Richmond, Ind.

Members of the audience at the Quaker college jeered the student, then applauded as Kristol wiped the pie from his face and said, "Just let me finish this point." Kristol then completed his speech and took questions from the audience.

The student, who was not immediately identified, was suspended and could face expulsion following a disciplinary review, Earlham Provost Len Clark said Wednesday.

Clark also issued a written apology complimenting Kristol for his "graciousness."

Could we be any more juvenile?

I'm sorry, but Bill Kristol is a class act.

OK, this is just retarded. He can't go visit campus because of some dead guy's birthday? How many birthdays should he avoid?

Hm ... I'd argue that was the right wing of the Party ....

True radical left (west) is probably eco-terrorism.

No, that would also be radical left, or do I need to go into the Nazi economic policies?

You mean the ones that all the large German corporations really liked that kept wages low and allowed for slave labour?

The ones outlawing income derived from the stock market and granting the government control over what the corporations produced. I have the 25 Points of American National Socialism here in front of me. I know they're not the Hitler originals, but the only major changes that I'm aware of are the ones relating to banning all foreign-origin English-print text, which originally banned all foreign-origin German-print text.

6. We demand that the State shall make it its primary duty to provide a livelihood for its citizens. If it should prove impossible to feed the entire population, foreign nationals (non-citizens) will be deported.

Communist.

9. It must be the first duty of every citizen to perform physical or mental work. The activities of the individual must not clash within the framework of the community and be for the common good.

Communist.

We therefore demand:

10 The abolition of incomes unearned by work. The breaking of interest slavery.

Socialist.

11. In view of the enormous personal sacrifices of life and property demanded of a nation by any war, personal enrichment from war must be regarded as a crime against the nation. We therefore demand the ruthless confiscation of all war profits.

Socialist.

12. We demand the nationalization of all businesses which have been formed into corporations (trusts).

Communist.

15. We demand the creation and maintenance of a healthy middle class, the immediate communalizing of big department stores and their lease at a cheap rate to small traders, and that the utmost consideration shall be shown to all small trades in the placing of state and municipal orders.

Despite the stated goal of maintenance of a middle class, socialist.

16. We demand a land reform suitable to our national requirements, that shall be twofold in nature:
The primary land reform will be to ensure all members of the nation receive affordable housing. The party as such stands explicitly for private property.

However, we support the passing of a law for the expropriation of land for communal purposes without compensation when deemed necessary for land illegally acquired, or not administered in accordance with the national welfare.

We further demand the abolition of ground rent, the discontinuation of all taxes on property, and the prohibition of all speculation in land.

The secondary land reform will be to ensure the environmental integrity of the nation is preserved;

By setting aside land for national wildlife refuges;

By cleaning the urban, agricultural, and hydrographical (water) areas of the nation;

By creating legislation regulating the amount of pollution, carbon dioxide, greenhouse gases , and toxins released into the atmosphere;

And for the continued research and development of clean burning fuels and energy sources.

Wheeeeeee. For the first part, Communist; for the second, what is this, Greenpeace?

23. We demand legal warfare on deliberate political mendacity and its dissemination in the press. To facilitate the creation of a national press we demand:

(a) That all editors of and contributors to newspapers appearing in the English language must be members of the nation;

(b) That no non-American newspapers may appear without the express permission of the State. They must not be written in the English language;

(c) That non-Whites shall be prohibited by law from participating financially in or influencing American newspapers, and that the penalty for contravening such a law shall be the suppression of any such newspapers, and the immediate deportation of the non-Americans involved.

The publishing of papers which are not conducive to the national welfare must be forbidden. We demand the legal prosecution of all those tendencies in art and literature which corrupt our national life, and the suppression of cultural events which violate this demand.

Communist. The last part is scarily reminiscent of Khrushchev's crackdown on art after his de-Stalinization period.

I'm just as disgusted as you are. The thought of perfectly good salad dressing being doused with Pat Buchanan's face sickens me. Do these people have no shame?

Yes, good old fashion totalitarianism. State dominance in every field which is not an exclusively left wing idea. You have just discovered that the difference between right and left wing totalitarianism is flavor. It is complete subjegation of the private individual to the state. That you think that it is only a part of communism is your problem, not mine.

And you haven't addressed what actually happened to corporations in Nazi Germany. We both know what a totalitarian state's constitution and principles aren't worth the paper they are printed on. What they actually do matters. China's constitution, for example, has all sorts of nice human rights provisions that we know are meaningless.
