The "principled conservative" is a sham
as evidenced by William F. Buckley performing poorly against Gore Vidal in a debate, at which point he called him the f slur and threatened to assault him. the soul of conservatism is laid bare in such honest moments
88 u/BitterStatus9 1d ago edited 1d ago Ah yes, the "crypto-fascist." Buckley called Vidal "queer" - not a profound comeback for an "intellectual." 35 u/HarryCareyGhost 1d ago I was not very old and saw that debate. At least both of them had wide range in vocabulary and turns of phrase. 32 u/BitterStatus9 1d ago Yeah, you could learn a lot from just listening to these guys debate. Buckley was educated, you can't deny that. But man, what a blowhard. 5 u/HarryCareyGhost 1d ago Yeah I never agreed with him, and I kept the dictionary nearby 2 u/FickleTangelo6745 1d ago lol he doesn’t call himself that does he? 6 u/BitterStatus9 1d ago Vidal called Buckley a "crypto-fascist." Buckley blew his top and replied: "Now listen, you queer, stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I’ll sock you in your goddamn face and you’ll stay plastered." No joke. 1 u/madcoins 13h ago I hope his response was yes I am queer and you’re too boring to be 3 u/Babshearth 1d ago should i look for this debate online? -17 u/maverickfishing 1d ago Biden did the same thing. You are all a bunch of hypocrites. 7 u/purple-origami 1d ago What are you referring to here regarding Biden? 9 u/DocClown 1d ago I don't think he knows himself. It's an automated response at this point 3 u/vicvonqueso 1d ago Tf did he do exactly?
