So I went to CSPAN site today and watched the Dick Cavett show when Kerry and O'Niell faced off against each other...
If anyone hasn't seen this yet...I urge you to watch it.
anyway...I'm sitting there watching this thing...O'Neill wins the coin toss and off he goes...spewing some written statement,(probably prepared by someone in the Nixon admin), and it was full of the same old rhetoric that is often spewed by the right today.
Then after he was done John Kerry's turn came up and he began speaking off the cuff...no notes...no prepared statement...nothing...and proceded to rip O'Niell apart...called him on many issues...
Then O'Niell started to get personal...avoiding the real issues of the war and went after Kerry's character...the same thing we see today...I wonder if O'Neill is just upset because Kerry showed him up on that show...!
Point after point Kerry destroyed this man with facts, reason, and logic...something Mr O'Neill lacked...O'Neil seemed to have "some" support but when he "tried" to go after Kerry...but you could hear the audience laughing, booing, and pretty much disagreeing with O'Neill on every attempted point he tried to make...
It was great to finally see this and watch Kerry destroy this Nixonite/Bushie...really was great to watch...I recommend anyone who hasn't seen this to watch it...
