Good Old Neon Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 In order to have successful, meaningful debate both sides must have a worldview that is remotely grounded in reality. Unfortunately, this applies to our current Commander in Chief as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Kinsley Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I'm not questioning it at all. But he is - so instead of just stomping on discussion/debate, ingage this idiot and educate him on the subject. SEE! That's what I'm talking about! We really can all get along.

bjorn_skurj Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I think the point is that this subject can't even be discussed in the US because of tactical outrage from jewish groups.I would define my outrage as strategic, thanks, and coming from a member of the human race. I can't believe that any person of good will would challenge the facticity of the Holocaust - they're either evil or crazy - and to say that the Jews are the only people who protest Holocaust denials is just plain wrong.

rileykill Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 He's not talking about the holocaust at Columbia. Not in his speech ... but he addressed it in Q&A. Personally, I have absolutely no problem with his being allowed to speak. I just hope some dumb redneck doesn't try to shoot him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rileykill Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 why would we engage anybody (intellectual or otherwise) to engage in any sort of debate w/ him if it isn't worth debating? Because he's President of Iran. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 why would we engage anybody (intellectual or otherwise) to engage in any sort of debate w/ him if it isn't worth debating? Because we aren't debating whether the Holocaust really happened. That is not debatable. We are debating whether he should have the right to come here and have a platform to say it. And whether anyone truly thinks this is an opportunity to engage someone who is batshit insane. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
