Seidman debated Rivkin again on November 14 (Fox) and tried to lecture David Rivkin on what conservatives believe. No facts, no cases, just typical, elitist, dismissive quarreling from Seidman.
The sweeping, groundless condemnations of Bush or any historical figure only serve as an indictment of our educational system. Logic, data, and civility have been discarded in favor of ill-informed, anarchistic denouncements.
Watching this debate as played out in the media for the past 4 months, here's my take: the liberals can't win the argument, and they are resorting to personal attacks and elitist denouncements of the conservative position. The conservatives are appealing to individuals who value freeDOM more than freeSTUFF from Uncle Sam.
