Michael MacConnell has an excellent article in today’s The Australian Conservative ^[1]rebutting Pat Buchanan’s peculiar assertion that the Holocaust would not have occurred if Great Britain had been nicer to Hitler.   MacConnell does a thorough historical deconstruction of Buchanan’s pseudo-ideas, but it all comes down to this succinct sentence: “Buchanan seems unable to recognise in Hitler a supreme sociopathic murderer.” Indeed.

Regarding Pat, It should be no surprise that I think him insane and bigoted (same thing, really).  So you can factor that into my appraisal of MacConnell’s piece.
