Pat Buchanan Says "Todd Palin Ought to Take Levi Johnston Down to the Creek and Hold his Head Underwater until the Thrashing Stops"

I am neither a fan of MSNBC contributor Pat Buchanan nor Levi Johnston, but Mr. Buchanan clearly crossed the line with his comments during his appearance on "Morning Joe" earlier today. He said "Todd Palin ought to take Levi down to the creek and hold his head underwater until the thrashing stops." Isn't this the same guy who hammered David Letterman for his comments about Sarah Palin and her daughter? Isn't this the same man who is staunchly pro-life?

Buchanan is a strong supporter of Sarah Palin and was upset with Levi Johnston's recent criticism of Sarah Palin, including his appearance on the "Today Show" this morning in which he said Palin, in part, resigned the governorship of Alaska in order to make more money. Buchanan advice to the Palins on how to deal with ad some harsh advice for the Palin family on how to deal with Levi:

Well, first, with regard to Levi, I think First Dude up there in Alaska, Todd Palin, ought to take Levi down to the creek and hold his head underwater until the thrashing stops.

The whole "Morning Joe" gang, including Mika Brzezinski, laughed pretty at Buchanan's joke, while Mark Halprin added, "That's a reality show, right there." It is amazing that Pat Buchanan continues to appear on MSNBC despite his racist stance on many issues. He owes Levi Johnston an apology. Just as he demanded of David Letterman to Sarah Palin. It seems that the mainstream media is playing the role of a bottom feeder in its inexplicable fascination with Levi Johnston. He hasn't accomplished one thing positive in his life, except perhaps his child, and he's suddenly making media rounds. What gives?
