William Buckley Vs Gore Vidal

interesting. by this, it was Buckley who started the media character assasination in debate that was later picked up by George Bush Sr and used as a campaign tactic, and now used by the GOP against everyone.

(Glen Beck et al, follows this pattern from Buckley for character assasination using the Media)

For those who don't recall Proper debate -- do observe Gore Vidal is using Proper debate, not Buckley -- "debate the issues, not the personalities"

Thank you

You're right, but glen beck does it far more clumsily.

That's because "centrists" are leftists you big dolt.

"As far as I'm concerned the only pro crypto Nazi I can think of is yourself..." Gore Vidal is a genius - Instant Classic!!

I feel better that Vidal is syill asmong the living and Buckley has passed on.I tend to favor Gore's views much more then i ever favored anything that came out of the mouth of Willaim's.

"You'll stay plastered"LOL

Thats how a gentlemen expresses his rage:)

Time has proven Vidal was on the right side.

American terrorism in Vietnam was eventually defeated, but only after they had murdered over two million innocent Vietnamese.

Vidal IS a queer...An admitted one..

So whats wrong with that? He kept calling Buckley a "nazi" , so did you expect Buckley to just sit there and take it ?
