I was listening to the radio while running an errand when I heard the Mueller Report had been released. The above link was the first that came up when I did a search. I quickly posted the story using my mobile phone to get it to the community as quickly as possible. Here are additional sources as well as the MD5SUM and resultant file sizes from downloading each. The CNN file has a different size from the others. A quick inspection suggests that it contains searchable text (presumably through OCR (Optical Character Recognition) processing) whereas the others contain images of each of the pages in the report.

Pat Buchanan straight up asked Ted Turner if he was a Communist. Simple question, could have given a simple answer. He didn't. q.e.d.
Things there are even worse now.
And yes, Pat had the balls to ask it on CNN while Turner still owned it lock stock and barrel, it was on an episode of Crossfire. To Ted's credit Buchanan kept his job, it was a different time and snowflakes weren't a thing yet. I saw it either live or same day (analog VCR era). It was glorious.

Yes, the analog VCR era. It was also the classic Macintosh era.
And I remember an animated game on the Mac called: Wall Pat In
There was a map of the US. An animated Pat Buchanan sprite ran around the US borders trying to build a brick wall. And NOT just on the Southern border! The players objective was to use the mouse to knock down the bricks faster than Pat Buchanan could complete building a brick wall around the entire continental US.
The game made no reference to Alaska or Hawaii, or whether they would still be considered part of the US.
And yes, I am serious about that game. It was a real thing. It was on some online service. (AOL, CompuServe, or somesuch)

Sounds like a typical silly amusement. Kinda like xbill used to be in the repositories.

Yes. But I obviously mis-remembered some details. See post right below yours. You HELP Pat to build a wall.
I guess I can't remember an important detail about a game I looked for about ten minutes, about thirty years ago. :-)

Pat Buchanan was crazier than a rabid bat, according to founding member of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, Dave Barry. And of course, Molly Ivins said of Pat's "culture war" speech at the still almost sane Republican National Convention in 1992: "Many people did not care for Pat Buchanan's speech; it probably sounded better in the original German."
Buchanan is a racist and a traitor, and so is anyone who would even mention his name on SN, including Richard "Dick" Spencer, Ben Shapiro, David Dukes (of Hazzard), or jmorris, paleo-conservative. By "paleo", they mean "pale-face", as in racist.
