For all that Pat Buchanan has been trying to assist the Jew-baiting, Hamas-supporting wing of the Democrats by claiming she was a big donor and organizer to his 1996 campaign.

Because, you see, she is on record as backing another candidate in 2000.

The McCain campaign says that instead of supporting Buchanan -- or even McCain -- in 2000, Palin actually supported Steve Forbes.

And indeed, another AP story from August 7, 1999 -- one month after the Buchanan trip to Wasilla -- states that joining state sen. Mike Miller of Fairbanks on the Forbes campaign's Alaska "leadership committee will be Wasilla Mayor Sarah Palin, and former state GOP chairman Pete Hallgren, who will serve as co-chairs."

When combined with the fact that there is no record of even a single donation to Pat Buchanan by Palin or any family member, the fact that not even one Buchanan campaign press release or news story reports on her being in any way involved with the Buchanan campaign, the evidence is clear -- Sarah Palin was never part of Pitchfork Pat's Buchanan Brigades in any capacity, and wore that button only as a courtesy to a visiting candidate of her party.

And if wearing that button for a couple of hours makes Palin an anti-Semite unacceptable to Jews, how ought Barack Obama's two decades of membership at a church where anti-Semitic, pro-terrorist sentiments were spewed from the pulpit and printed in church publications be treated?
