I'd like to share this personal account from Undemocracy of tonight's exchange between Pat Buchanan and Joe Madison on Hardball.  It made my stomach sink as I read it, and I want as many others as possible to see exactly what transpired.

Tonight on Hardball, Pat Buchanan and Joe Madison mixed it up about the significance of Rev. Wright and the impact of the Obama speech. They actually seemed personally angry with each other about this.

Pat praised Obama’s speech, but insisted on angrily - and I mean with personal anger - tarring him with 20 years of sitting in the pews and imbibing racism and anti-Americanism without protest, without walking out on Wright.

Pat purported to speak for the white male voters of Aliquippa and Johnstown, demanding on their behalf, "Who is this guy who thinks he’s going to be President of our country?"

Apologies for the short diary, but this segment just came out on CNN today and I've been waiting for it to get hosted on CNN.com's video section.  Here's the long segment on CNN, Obama/Osama imagery starts around 1:50:
