Funny, I've always thought the same of Christopher Hitchens.

[Fj Ness]

If Buckley would shut up we could actually hear the debate.

William Buckley...lets just shut up for one sec and let the other person talk.....

Aint nobody got time for that!

[Frank G]

Meh, don't let the accent and demeanor fool you. He's an idiot.

[DivisionbyZer0]

He's worlds apart from O'Reilly. The two don't even inhabit the same universe. Buckley was a serious intellectual. O'Reilly doesn't even pretend to be one. And I say this as someone who disagrees with vitually all of Buckley's assertions. But he at least makes assertions and tries to defend them. O'Reilly is a gibbering hyena compared to Buckley.

[Jeansieguy]

How so?

[Tony Starks]

Wow, you still don't get it do you? Where in the article does he deny the Khmer Rouge genocide? Why are you stalling? Copy and paste the sentence where he denies genocide. Why can't you do that? You provided an article and made a claim against the article. I want you to simply show me the sentences, paragraph, something within the article which proves your point. HOW MANY WAYS DO I HAVE TO ASK?????????????????

Keep making up claims and straw man points. I am asking a direct question. Wow.......

[H1TMANactual]

Ok you are mentally ill. I provided you the article where he is denying Khmer Rouge genocide and you are asking me to show you the "actual words" after claiming you read it.

This coming from a Chomsky fan who thinks a socialist utopia is possible? Anyway this country was founded on Lockean (look it up) philosophy. So doesn't seem like fiction to me.

[Tony Starks]

Libertarian ideology is based on fiction, thus libertarians believe in fiction. I read that article and I want what you consider evidence that Prof. Noam Chomksy "...in his own words denying Khmer Rouge genocide." That is a bold claim. So show me the actual words. If you make such a bold claim, you should be able to provide a sentence, a paragraph, something that proves your point.

Do I have to make myself clearer than that? Do you understand?

Do I need to restate it again???????????????????????

[H1TMANactual]

What's a fiction? Libertarians? That doesn't even make any sense.

"cannot provide actual evidence...Show me the actual lines"

I sourced Chomsky's own article two comments ago. Are you completely insane?

[Tony Starks]

You made up lies and you expect me to believe you? I don't care about libertarians. You know it is a fiction right? Anyway, you actually did not provide evidence for your claims so I must dismiss it as a rant. What is the matter, cannot provide actual evidence against the breaker of your myths? Show me the actual lines where he denies the Khmer Rouge genocide. YOU MADE THE CLAIMS.

[H1TMANactual]

You made up some straw man and erected a caricature and now that's what I believe? You know most libertarians are non-interventionists right? I am not a complete non-interventionist but pretty close to it. Anyway you didn't actually address anything I said. What's the matter, can't face facts about your idol? Typical Chomsky cultist.
