This is the well know incident between William Buckley and Gore Vidal that occurred during ABC's coverage of the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago. This version has slightly better sound quality and syncronization.

You've got that backwards. Conservatives are the one's that fear change and progress.

Liberalism is about fear too; fear that without the chosen few to make our decisions for us we'll be doomed to oblivion. I'd rather not have any additional fears thrust upon me so I follow neither school of thought, though if I had to choose one I'd have to say conservatism, because at least it starts with some logical principles and only moves towards crazy afterwards.

Buckley had a wife and a child. As effeminate as he was, I don't think he was gay.

Vidal was right, in fact US shit all over Vietnam after ww2, we lied to them, they were our allies, then we literally gave them to FRANCE of all the bastards to give them to! France was a punk ass coward nation overall in WW2, DeGaul was a personal coward himself, very eager for status. SO they demanded US give them Vietnam! WE DID! Vietnam then rightly fought back. We were the bad guys, Truman fucked up bad.

To be fair, conservatism is about fear.

[Boelcke1919]

That Buckley used the threat of imminent force to shut the other guy up, sounds exactly like what the Nazis did from 1918-1933 when they seized power in Germany.

[Boelcke1919]

Wasn't Buckley gay, too?

[Boelcke1919]

This really shows Buckley to be a dufus. Wasn't Buckley himself gay?
