Comment by Bertrand at Debate Both Sides
Why do journalists insist on euphemisms in describing Pat Buchanan? After Buchanan's tirades against Israel and his description of the Jewish "Amen Corner" in the US, the late William F. Buckley reluctantly concluded that Buchanan is antisemitic. That was as harsh a judgment as he could muster. A journalist a few years ago seemed unusually frank when he was pushed into specifics. He admitted that the fellow "certainly is a tribalist." A tribalist.
