I would chill out with the Pat Buchanan quotes. One could also use this one:

 

"Though Hitler was indeed racist and anti-Semitic to the core, a man who without compunction could commit murder and genocide, he was also an individual of great courage, a soldier's soldier in the Great War, a political organizer of the first rank, a leader steeped in the history of Europe, who possessed oratorical powers that could awe even those who despised him...Hitler's success was not based on his extraordinary gifts alone. His genius was an intuitive sense of the mushiness, the character flaws, the weakness masquerading as morality that was in the hearts of the statesmen who stood in his path." -- Pat Buchanan.

 

or the many other quotes of his that show Nazi sympathy. When talking about immigration, I am not sure I would want to stand behind him as my spokesman. 

You could say the same thing about many a brutal leader. I don't see anything remotely anti-semetic or pro-hitler in that quote as you seem to imply. Buchanan was merely stating characteristics that Hitler had, characteristics that many leaders both good or evil had that made a big name for themselves.

 

 

Well, most US politicians don't have an entire Wiki section on anti-semitism.
