I do so love it when someone brings up the conservatives of the past to point out how awful the conservatives of today are, and I especially love it when they choose William "Shut Your Mouth, You Fucking Queer, Or I'll Smash Your Face In" Buckley as the paragon of civil discourse. |
What is your beef with Buckley? I bring up Firing Line as an example of programming superior to the angry populism going around as "conservatism" today on the likes of Fox News.
By the way, is this the clip you refer to about "Smash Your Face In"?

I watched it several times and Buckley had me laughing out loud. That was wit the way he said it.
