Color of Change Slapped in the Face

Color of Change, a leftist organization with eight known members and run by Rashad Robinson (pictured), got a stinging slap in the face from respected Chicago Tribune columnist Clarence Page, who wrote:

That's why I do not support the call from Color Of Change, the left-progressives who have launched an online petition drive to have MSNBC fire [Patrick J.] Buchanan from his gig as an on-air analyst and in-house lightning rod. While I frequently disagree with everything Buchanan says after "Good morning," I also believe talk shows should air a range of views, not muzzle them. People can disagree, as the saying goes, without being disagreeable.

Last week, the group along with left-wing cohorts Media Matters and the Southern Poverty Law Center, orchestrated a campaign of hate, bigotry, and distortion against Buchanan only to help create more publicity for his book, Suicide of a Superpower. The book skyrocketed in a week to the number three, best selling nonfiction hardback across the United States according to Publishers Weekly.

Death of American Manufacturing

Brett M. Decker, (pictured) Editorial Page Editor of The Washington Times, reviewed Patrick J. Buchanan's national best seller, Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?

In his review, Decker calls on readers to do the "China Test" and see how many products readers use on a daily basis are Made in China. The fact is almost everything we use (computers, iPhones, dishware) is made in China. And that's where Buchanan's book makes an impression with Decker.

Decker writes:

In his new blockbuster book, “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?” Patrick J. Buchanan chronicles the demise of American manufacturing. “From 2000 to 2010, America saw 50,000 factories close and 6 million manufacturing jobs disappear,” he writes. “Manufacturing, 27 percent of the U.S. economy in 1950, is down to 11 percent and accounts for only 9 percent of the non-farm labor force.” This is not only bad for the working class because service jobs pay half as much on average as manufacturing jobs, it is dangerous for national security as well. Military contractors are dependent on parts made abroad, which means America’s ability to project force is tied to foreign suppliers whose interests might not always coincide with our own. “The defense industry has been off-shored,” warned former South Carolina Sen. Fritz Hollings. “Today, we can’t go to war except for the favor of a foreign country.”....President Obama has admitted that “At no time in human history has a nation of diminished economic vitality maintained its military and political primacy,” yet his policies have gutted the U.S. economy to its worst condition since the Great Depression. Clare Booth Luce quipped that, “The difference between an optimist and a pessimist is that the pessimist is usually better informed.” Pat Buchanan’s new book provides all the information anyone needs to be pessimistic about the future.

Astute Diagnosis of America’s Problems

Forrmer Congressman Virgil Goode (R-VA) has written a very positive review of Patrick J. Buchanan's national best seller Suicide of a Superpower published on The Daily Caller website.  Goode writes:

For the last two decades, Pat Buchanan has warned that America is on the edge of ruin due to our irrational immigration, economic and foreign policies. As events have proven Buchanan right, Americans have become more receptive to his brand of conservatism, which he lays out in his new book Suicide of a Superpower. 

On the issue of trade, just last week only a handful of Republicans voted against three sovereignty-sacrificing trade deals supported by the Obama administration. Buchanan, in contrast, makes a strong case that the $6.2 trillion trade deficit America ran in the past decade has ruined this country’s manufacturing base.

While Buchanan paints a very bleak portrait of America, he offers very clear solutions to get us back on the right track....While I might quibble with a few points, Buchanan offers an astute diagnosis of America’s problems and gives constructive suggestions to put us back on track.

Tea Party for Buchanan

Jillian Rayfield, news intern-turned-blogger at Talking Points Memo (TPM),  wrote yesterday about how the Tea Party Nation's founder is rallying around Patrick J. Buchanan.  Buchanan's new book, Suicide of a Superpower,  made Publishers Weekly's National Best Sellers list yesterday.

Rayfield blogged:

Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips(pictured) defended Pat Buchanan against charges of racism by African-American civil rights group Color of Change, arguing that “the racist in this story is the group, the Color of Change.” Phillips, in a blog post on Tuesday, wrote that “despite my opinions of Pat Buchanan, he is clearly a man of accomplishment who does very intelligently express the sentiments of parts of the conservative movement. It is no shock that the left is going after him.” “Let’s be blunt,” he added, “the racist in this story is the group, the Color of Change. They are a very anti-American, far left group.” These “left wing racist nuts,” Phillips said, are “a danger to America and to freedom.”

Although earlier this week Rayfield looked more like an intern than a journalist with a horribly slanted and inflammatory post against Buchanan's national best seller Suicide of a Superpower, she seems to have redeemed herself with a more balanced story.

Studying at Cornell wasn't a waste after all.

It's Official: National Best Seller

Today, Patrick J. Buchanan's Suicide of a Superpower debuted at #3 on the Publishers Weekly list of best selling nonfiction hardcover books. See the list here.

Do Ask, Do Tell

Of all the loony left-wing and kooky right-wing bloggers, our hats off to Gay Rights blogger David Badash who wrote:

"And now, the Buchanan team has decided that they can make far more money pushing his book as a victimization vehicle than on the basis of its merits alone. So now the Buchanan book’s blog has decided to post stories of the Left attacking Buchanan for his 18th century views."

Actually David, we think the book can make far more money both ways: on its merits and on the attacks. We appreciate any publicity the left or right create for the book.

Our blog has had more hits in the past 24 hours than ever before as people hear about us through sensational blog postings or political attacks.

So David, do ask, do tell your friends about Suicide of a Superpower.

Left-Wing Advances Buchanan

So the left still doesn't get it!

Leah Nelson, a  Montgomery, Alabama-based left-wing blogger, posted a new attack on the Southern Poverty Law Center's website falsely claiming Patrick J. Buchanan was "reacting furiously" to  a left-wing censorship campaign based on hate and bigotry.

Wrong!

Frankly, we are pleased that hate-filled Media Matters, the eight-member Color of Change, and now a legitimate left-wing institution, the Southern Poverty Law Center, are spending resources and man-hours pumping up the controversy and flat-out falsehoods surrounding Buchanan's best-selling book, Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025? 

Suicide of a Superpower is booming in sales because of the attention he garnered from his radio appearance this week on NPR's Diane Rehm Show (broadcasting on 160 stations) and the left-wing campaign of distortion and hate.

We want book sales and the left has delivered. Keep it coming!

Hate and Bigotry Target Buchanan

Two-left wing groups, Color of Change, with eight known members, and its co-conspirators at Media Matters---self-endowed Orwellian censors--are attempting to gag and have Patrick J. Buchanan fired as an MSNBC Political Commentator as his new book, Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive Until 2025?, soars in sales.  (The book has been a top nonfiction bestseller at Amazon.com since it debuted last week.) Using charged racist language, gross misinterpretations, out of context quotes, and sugar-coated anti-Catholic sentiments, Media Matters has written 16 vile posts in the past 12 days in an orchestrated campaign of hate and bigotry.

UPDATE: Patrick J. Buchanan's new book made Publishers Weekly's National Best Sellers list.

Incivility and Crudeness of Public Debate

Calling Patrick J. Buchanan a "bareknuckle brawler and wisest, most objective man in American public affairs," Steve Sailer (pictured), movie critic for The American Conservative and blogger at VDARE.com, writes a glowing book review of Buchanan's new book, Suicide of a Superpower. Sailer writes:

Buchanan has made himself into exactly what you would want in a political intellectual: famously pugnacious in argument, but a gentleman who fights fair and feels the other side is entitled to its say. He wants to win arguments, but not suppress and personally destroy his opponents. In his new book, Buchanan laments that in 21st Century America:

"The crudeness of our public debate is matched by its incivility. In politics it is insufficient to defeat an opponent. One must demonize, disgrace, and destroy him. The tradition of political foes being social friends when the sun goes down ... is passé. Today, we criminalize politics and go for the throat."

Buchanan's genial honesty helps explain why relatively few liberal Bigfoot journalists have piled on to the two decade-long neocon jihad against him. They are ideologically closer to Buchanan’s neocon detractors, but they know from personal experience that Pat is the better man.

TPM's "Crazy" and "Racist" Smear

Now the Talking Points Memo (TPM) is following the lead of Media Matters and making racist smears.  TPM is taking quotes from Patrick J. Buchanan's hot seller Suicide of a Superpower and inserting inflammatory language before the quotes to provoke readers.  Calling the quotes "crazy" or "racist," Jillian Rayfield, a TPM intern-promoted-to-blogger, (pictured) lays out twelve quotes.
