Pat Buchanan, adviser to President Nixon and currently seen on MSNBC's various chatfests, recently shared with The New Yorker's George Packer a copy of a confidential 7-page memo, written by Buchanan for Nixon, entitled "Dividing the Democrats." According to Packer's May 26, 2008 article the memo stated, among other things, that the White House should "elicit white working-class support with tax relief and denunciation of welfare," and recommended, "Bumper stickers calling for black Presidential and especially Vice-Presidential candidates should be spread out in the ghettoes of our country." According to the Buchanan memo, "We should do what is within our power to have a black nominated for Number Two, at least at the Democratic National Convention." This would "cut the Democratic Party in half; my view is that we would have far the larger half."
Interesting to see Buchanan on the air today commenting and prognosticating about the presidential aspirations of Senator Barack Obama. Thanks MSNBC.
