Say what you will about the viewpoints of either Buckley or Vidal, but this is what political debate is supposed to look like. Civil hostility and, most crucially, the use of facts as evidence to support a case.

MetrazolElectricity Hahaha, yeah, my god, I don't know what on earth came over me when I was posting that. I do know-and have known for a long time-that they hate each other. Makes one wonder about one's own mental health, my goodness. No, you're absolutely right; I almost want to delete the thing now. What on earth...

I think "civil hostility " could not be more on the nose. You can tell they do not like each other but they both have an irrepressible sense of decorum and professionalism. Until debate #9 of course.

"We have absolutely no moral right to be in Vietnam". Vidal nailed it.

ssa aax When you were younger you were concerned about issues like being happy and living. If you you were 18-25 at the time and poor white or black you were probably hoping not to lose that life your were living in a Vietnam swamp at the behest of one Mr McNamara et al.

All, but one, of the Chicago footage is in colour. The black and white version is only one debate.

Is there a reason the footage from the GOP convention is in color while the Chicago footage is in black and white?
