Pat Buchanan proud of opposing Voting Rights, Medicare

(Media Matters)

On last night's Hardball, MSNBC's Pat Buchanan relived his glory days while offering the Republicans some political advice:

BUCHANAN: Look at '65, Medicare, Medicaid, education, Voting Rights Act.

MATTHEWS: You guys won in '66.

BUCHANAN: We won 47 seats. We didn't do a thing but say no, no, no.
...
BUCHANAN: In 2010, we are the alternative. We are against them. That's all you need.

Most people, upon recalling their opposition to the Voting Rights Act, would probably express some remorse.  But not Pat Buchanan, who complains that "Old heroes like ... Robert E. Lee are replaced by Dr. King."

Why does MSNBC let this nutjob on the air?

Here's Pat Buchanan denying climate change, denying the science, calling it a hoax and an excuse for a global, One World Order government.

Seriously, why are they still letting him on air? His views are not that different - more polished, but not different - than the guy who shot up the Holocaust Museum last month.
