I remember watching Saul Alinsky debate William Buckley on the old Firing Line show he had on PBS. Here is a sample.

Well, Buckley was brilliant! Thanks for posting this link, South40.

Curious -- you said people were shouting at the screen when you went to see the film. I'm wondering who was in your audience. Granted, I did not go on the opening day, and I went during a weekday later on, but both the handful of people leaving the prior screening and the handful of people at the screening I attended were old white people. That saddened me. I do hope all those grannies and grandpops give the DVD to their grandchildren.

I live in a pretty conservative area in East San Diego County. The theater was about 1/2 full and for a matinee that was surprising. The audience was made up of young, old, male and female. Mrs. 40 and I (both retired) didn’t yell but laughed out loud each time it happened. The audience members seemed pretty informed and clearly were not pro Obama. When he said If you like your plan you can keep your plan, they yelled LIAR! When he said We are not collecting data on individuals, the crowd yelled LIAR! It was hilarious. I can’t stand to hear the man speak so I didn’t mind. The film got a big ovation at the end also. :-)
