Debate on philosophy turns into all-out rhetorical brawl.
I would if he actually laid it instead of struggling to articulate, as evidenced by his churning out of Hitler analogies.
Can anyone look more phony than that? God.
Yeah, Doug Casey isn’t too good at debating. But, Karl Rove did a really good job.
Who are you referring too?
Dean’s picture.
What is this guy doing? He’s playing right into their hands as the “nut-job libertarian.” It seems like Casey is purposely trying to discredit libertarians. I’m surprised he didn’t bring up reptilian aliens and satanic bloodlines.
As a rhetorician and an equivocater hands down…
I’m glad to get that Karl Rove induced rage off my chest.
Yup. That’s exactly what I meant.
Karl Rove: “We were small government, even though we expanded education, healthcare, defense, wars, and passed the PATRIOT Act and bailed out Wall Street, and implemented the TSA and the DHS, but what was it!” Lol.
They gotta have Tom Woods next time.
I can’t remember but he snapped back saying something about statute. Is there a transcript of this somewhere?
I doubt it. Karl Rove could have been easily handled, but Doug Casey is pretty bad at debates.
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking as well.
Karl Rove makes himself look very good in this debate; he is a master of lying through his teeth. I especially love how he talks about the free market, and then says that his Medicare plan was a good thing, the bailouts were a good thing, financial regulation was a good thing, the wars were a good thing, and the nationalization of airport security was a good thing. I find laughable his claim that the Medicare drug plan works using “market mechanisms.” If that were the case, why is there any governmental involvement?
I lol’d when Casey Godwin’d that debate. It is precisely that attitude that makes libertarians look like a bunch of nutjobs, no matter how correct. He also kept getting interrupted by Rove, which was quite annoying. Overall, he was a very poor debater. Tom Woods would totally dominate that debate.
