Watch Pat Buchanan School Hannity On Iran

Whatever you think of Pat Buchanan, he was spot on in this segment, smacking down right-wing fear mongering about Iran and nailing the Bush administration for empowering the country with its misbegotten invasion of Iraq.

“You gotta talk to your enemies,” Buchanan told the war-mongering, Netanyahu-loving Sean Hannity.

Buchanan pointed out that former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was in power for eight years and “did nothing” to wipe Israel off the face of the earth, as Fox loves to (wrongly) quote him as threatening.

Hannity began to get rather exercised. But Buchanan continued, undeterred.

BUCHANAN: Are we going to be frightened by words from some character in Iran? …Listen to the American head of intelligence. He says Iran does not have a bomb program as of 2013. Secondly, if they start building a bomb, we will know it. Third, Iran has made some concessions, they’re not enough, it makes them less able to get to a bomb…

…Your friend Bibi’s been talking about Iran getting a bomb since 1992. In 2006, he said they’ll be building 25 bombs by the end of the decade. Are they? No.

Buchanan also explained that U.S. and Iranian interests are allied to some degree right now.

BUCHANAN: In Iraq, Iran is fighting ISIS and Al Qaeda. In Syria, they’re fighting ISIS on behalf of Assad. In Yemen, they’re not involved there.

…Sean, they’re fighting our enemies. I’d rather have Iranians fighting in Tikrit and dying than American kids there.

But the best part was when Buchanan told Hannity, “The reason Iran is gonna be a power in the gulf is because your president, George W. Bush, invaded Iraq and turned it into an ally of Iran.”

Hannity tried to blame President Obama but Buchanan wasn’t having any of it.

BUCHANAN: Sean, the reason we’re in this position is because Saddam Hussein, a thug, was overthrown, his state was destroyed, his army was broken up. Elections were held by Bush's democracy crusade and the Shia won and we lost Iraq!

Buchanan finished by making Hannity and Netanyahu look like cowards.

BUCHANAN: I’m not scared of Iran, for God’s sakes. They don’t have an atomic bomb. …Bibi’s sitting on 200 atom bombs and he’s fretting over Iran, which hasn’t even produced weapons grade uranium?

The United States could finish off Iran in an afternoon. What are you frightened of, Sean? …I think you’re hysterical, Sean.

Buchanan had Hannity sputtering – and it was a thing of beauty.

Watch it below, from last night’s Hannity.

I volunteer at National Archives and at Nixon Library. See many documents. In one Buchanan actually stated that blacks have really been screwed in this country. Do not agree with him on some issues, but found that memo interesting.

“What are you frightened of, Sean? …I think you’re hysterical, Sean.”

Our sentiments exactly, Pat . . .

Buchanan made his career in the Nixon Admin.
It was Nixon who went to China and opened it up.

Buchanan wiped the floor clean with Photo Op Hannocchio, and made a fool of him in front of his aging audience.

This Long Island Lolito’s segment was entertaining. We encourage the masses to tell all conservatives, (radio an tv) on how Buchanan schooled Hugh’s untalented son.

NOTE TO HANNITY

People were laughing at your ignorance. Your colleagues talk about you like a dog. Go back to school and get your journalism degree.

I saw this and I was enjoying it hugely…. until I remembered that Buchanan is an unreconstructed anti-Semite.

Still, it was nice for once to see somebody, anybody, with the chops to take Hannity down and literally laugh in his face and reduce him to helpless sputtering. Last time I saw that happen was Howard Dean while he was still gov. of VT and before anybody outside of that state, including me at the time, had any idea who he was.

I think that Hannity has a one track mind. He seems to think Bibi is some sort of God — probably because he decided to p[ull a fast one on the president.As such, anything he says is folden. This kind of bitterness plays well on Fox but doesn’t work in the real world — as Buchanan pointed out.

This debate was a classic! It exposes the fact that Hannity only has a High School education. He is a total moron outside his talking points. Buchanan uses facts, Hannity uses talking points.

Hannity knew exactly what Buchannons’ position was when he booked him. Everyone knows that Pat is anti Israel and Hannity is simply using him as a prop to drive a wedge between jews and liberals in the states for the next election. I don’t think Hannity was ready for him to blame Bush for the whole mess so that’s when the Manitee shut it down.

As someone who does not care for the likes of Buchanon and his bigoted stances, I’ve got to hand it to him on this matter. He said what so many know to be true but are afraid to say on FOX “news” with regards to BushCo’s war in Iraq and the Iran-nuke and ISIS situations. I will reluctantly give him a kudos on this. Poor Hannity. Good to see that once in awhile the truth gets out on FOX “news”.

Mark my words: I’m NOT a fan of Pat Buchanan — but boy oh boy, did he school that longtime perennial PFC (Privileged Fascist Chickenhawk) KKKlannity BIG TIME! Just FYI I DO have a copy of two of Buchanan’s bestsellers: “The Great Betrayal” and “Where The Right Went Wrong”.
