My thoughts exactly. Daniel Pipes certainly seems to me to understand completely who they are...so I tend to dismiss any debate with a socialist like Livingstone or any leftist out of hand if they think they need to debate Daniel Pipes.

I feel that socialists/leftists do not have the best interests of the free world in mind, so why listen to them?

so why listen to them?

To beat them like a red headed step child? To smack them down and make them look like the fools that they are? I'll give Livingstone this, at least he's willing to get on stage and debate a Daniel Pipes. That more than can be said for some I could mention...Jimmy Carter Did I say that outloud?

What the hell is wrong with the people of London? How could they elect such a jerk? (I acknowledge that plenty didn't vote for him, and I feel sorry for them)

As has been pointed out many times before, the left has effectively characterized anyone who doesn't spout the same PC drivel as xenophobic, or racist, or a Nazi, or at best ill informed. It's high time the shoe was on the other foot. I think the best way to do that is to attack exactly what is precious to them, their sense of being more knowing and progressive than the rest of us. We need to publicly ridicule them and make it hard for any of them to spout the same boring diatribe without being laughed at. It shouldn't be done in anger. It should be done with an air of amusement and dismissal.
