Syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan made a statement Friday guaranteed to make liberal media members’ heads spin.<\/p>\n

During a discussion about Affirmative Action on PBS’s McLaughlin Group, Buchanan said, “Whites are the only group that you can discriminate against legally in America now”<\/p>\n

JOHN MCLAUGHLIN, HOST: Are you saying college admissions should be based on diversity?<\/p>\n

ELEANOR CLIFT, NEWSWEEK\/DAILY BEAST: Yeah, I mean, I think lots of factors go into diversity. I think race can be one of them, and I think the Supreme Court so far agrees with that.<\/p>\n

MCLAUGHLIN: 67 percent opposed it, 28, you\u2019re in the minority. Only 28 percent are in favor of it.<\/p>\n

PAT BUCHANAN: It should be based on excellence, John.<\/p>\n

CLIFT: As long as the Supreme Court agrees with me, I\u2019m fine.<\/p>\n

BUCHANAN: It should be like the NFL: whoever\u2019s the best player plays, and whoever does best academically should be advanced. What is wrong with that?<\/p>\n

MICHELLE BERNARD: Here\u2019s a question I have. One of the things I always say because I think you can measure diversity in a lot of ways, but I think there\u2019s an argument to be said that the greatest Affirmative Action program that there is in the country is being born white. There is a natural assumption when you are applying to institutions of higher education that you are excellent or you are more superb than others.<\/p>\n

BUCHANAN: With due respect, whites are the only group that you can discriminate against legally in America now. – newsbusters.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
