I couldn't figure out how to extract the video from the article so I have put the link to the article with the video in it. He is so good at debating these morons and destroying their arguments without them seeing it coming.

(46,705 posts)point to another! How do we go from talking about bringing order to society with gun regulations by deflecting to the obesity problem in the US.
Does anyone with debating experience know what this tactic is called? The right seems to use it a lot.

(46,705 posts)It's like they have no depth. They just throw quick quips, one after the other like Chinese stars, instead of engaging in a productive dialogue.

(11,738 posts)The reality is that typically the Conservative viewpoint is bereft of really solid and meaningful arguments.
The reality is that Conservatives do not want to invest the effort or money into meaningful solutions that would very likely, significantly reduce violence, crime, and poverty. They throw out "causes" but their solution is typically more of the same. Pray, prayer, thoughts and prayer, more punishment after the fact, etc...

A HERETIC I AM
(24,368 posts)( I put that in quotes only to draw attention to the following point)
There have been many SCOTUS decisions over the years that have expanded gun rights, but most people who are aware would point to the Heller case as saying an individual, as opposed to a Well regulated militia has a right to keep and own firearms with few restrictions.
OK, fine. Settled case law.
Ever notice how the right NEVER gave the same consideration to Roe V Wade? Wasnt that settled case law?
Stewart tied the guy in knots and the dipshit didnt even notice.
