Did anyone catch Alan Keyes show last night? They had a great discussion on the Middle East situation, and for the first time in my life I found myself agreeing with almost everything Alan Dershowitz said! I just thought it was a very interesting mixture to see a conservative black guy and a liberal Jewish guy both agreeing with eachother 100% on a pro-Israeli, anti-terrorism stance. They were both making a lot of sense as far as I could tell, while Michael Lerner acted like a retarted clown and the other guest made only a few good points. Did anyone else catch this last night?

Alan Deshowitz is pretty far from being a liberal. Although I have to agree with you about Michael Lerner being a retarted clown (although I'd imagine for different reasons).

I try to stay out of political talk, but Alan Dershowitz is most assuredly a liberal. Here is a link to a news article that quotes Dershowitz:

http://www.sptimes.com/News/100301/State/Secretary_of_State_Ha.shtml

Also, here is an article by UCLA Law Professor Eugene Volokh. Volokh mentions that liberal speakers, like Dershowitz, have addressed the Federalist Society.

http://www.law.ucla.edu/faculty/volokh/fedsoc.htm

Just a few random articles from a Google search of the term "Liberal Alan Dershowitz."

Now, I will once again refrain from political talk.

How liberal do you have to be to consider Dershowitz to not be one? Holy smokes!

You wanna talk insane...

Anyone see the episode of "Making Sense" that dealt with the post 9/11 cartoon about Terror Widows, and suggested that they're exploiting the tragedy? A worthy opinion, in my eyes, but Keyes went full-on Baptist revival on the guy and threw all reason out the window. Making sense he was not.

i don't know about you all, but i'm starting to see why they are sending sucide bomers to save their country...just just want to live alone with our isrealy [sp?] occupation.

some see the military actions taken by isreal a nessary act, some see it as an act of terror...

i can see both sides of the fence...one man's terror is another man's cry for freedom

Well, yeah. I'm sure the British saw Sam Adams and the sons of liberty as terrorists, and today history regards their acts as a cry for freedom. John Brown was a terrorist, more or less, but I think he was attempting to do a good thing (raid federal munitions dump, free slaves). Condoning violent resistance to violent oppression doesn't necessarily entail condoning attacks on civilians.

Well then that's a very important distinction. It may be ok to raise up arms in a revolution, but not to slaughter innocent people simply because you don't like them, or for any other reason for that matter. I think the latter more clearly falls into a definition of "terrorism." The only question I have is whether or not Bin Ladin's actions can in ANY way, and at ANY time be called a legitimate "cry for freedom" as the other post seemed to suggest. In his case there is no room whatsoever to "see the other side of the fence." What he did was EVIL, close the book, have a cookie, go to your room. End of discussion.

"Define for me "evil", please."

The lack of good. But I suppose I may not be able to help you with this if you do not accept as self-evident that there are such things as objectively good and evil actions.

Well, Osama sends his followers to kill Americans and that's evil.

Bush sends his Army to kill Afghani's and that's.... what?

How are the concepts of good and evil "self evident"? You're using Bible logic. (ie: none)

No, it's called Jeffersonian/Enlightenment logic. Read the Declaration of Independence.

Everyone's missing the point. Riki was talking about the Palestinian situation, not the 9/11 attacks.

Just for the sheer comedy value of the scenario. McCain wins the most bitterly divisive election in history and is impeached before the midterm elections for multiple flagrant and egregious violations of McCain-Feingold, leading to a Palin v.
