See,Ratigan knows how to deal with these people. You stop them abruptly as soon as the first lie spews out.

You can't be polite or they'll get 4 more lies out there before you can counter.

EXACTLY I just wrote this in another comment

if some is trying to argue that 3+3=7 and they start there argument with "WELL since 2+2=5" you cannot let them finish that thought because the preface is wrong.... and to allow that to pass for the sake of being polite or "fair" is for one not being fair, and two not intellectually honest with yourself the person you are allowing to be wrong and anyone who is witnessing the debate!

Sadly, it's a rare thing when a host calls a guest on minsinformation (lies). Usually they just let them go on and make their lying point.

Yeah i used to not like Ratigan because of that. But now i realize this is what must be done.
