It's funny seeing Pat Buchanan, one of the Republican Party's most notorious anti-Semites, defending Chuck Hagel, who has been accused of being.... you guessed it - a notorious anti-Semite.
In the fortnight since Chuck Hagel's name was floated for secretary of defense, we have witnessed Washington at its worst.
Who is Chuck Hagel?
Born in North Platte, Neb., he was a squad leader in Vietnam, twice wounded, who came home to work in Ronald Reagan's 1980 campaign, was twice elected U.S. senator, and is chairman of the Atlantic Council and co-chair of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board.
To The Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol, however, Hagel is a man "out on the fringes," who has a decade-long record of "hostility to Israel" and is "pro-appeasement-of-Iran."

(Now, Buster, you can add yourself to the list of people who've been accused of being anti-Semites. And post your own anti-Buster commentary citing those serial accusations, and the gravity thereof. After all, you've been accused at least 4 times.)
Sheesh.
