Buchanan is an insightful commentator, and he's not very partisan... I know. I actually like him although I disagree with him. His great virtue is that he actually says what he thinks, even if it is fairly nuanced, and I've seen him be respectful of his opponents in debate. He's the opposite of the school of Coulter and Hannity. At least Buchanan's ideas are his own and arrived at by his own process of reasoning.

The comparison with Farrakhan was in regard to the Hitler smears. Both Farrakhan and Buchanan have mentioned things that were true about Hitler that were then used to smear them as Nazi sympathizers, which is true in neither case. I have a lot less respect for Farrakhan than for Buchanan, but both of them at least deserve not to be misrepresented in the press, as does Reverend Wright.

It's also no coincidence that all three tend to speak freely about Israel. The cynic in me says that their controversial views would attract no heat if they were ardent Zionists.
