All the Left has to debate with is emotion.

[Texas_Jarhead]

not surprising at all

[Paul Atreides]

You can tell their line of thinking by the shocked look on their faces, when someone disagrees with their views. They just know they are right about everything, and that anyone who disagrees is just extremist and ignorant.

ASSNER and his ilk are their own worst enemies........no wonder I read today that Ann Coulter has completed another book...............they give her enough material to go 24/7..ad infinitem.........Go get 'em ANNIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ed Chickensh!t: oh no, I can't risk getting punched. I'll sit over here on the sidelines under Mary Tyler Moore's skirts.

He pulled a Baldwin (stayed in the country after all).

[LibWhacker]

The left shoots off its mouth but is not prepared with facts to debate.

I don't even think it means that. He doesn't mean that he doesn't have the facts. He means he hasn't memorized the Left's talking points on the subject. No brains needed. No facts needed. Just memorize the talking points and you're magically equipped.

[Bullish]

Ed Assner is one of my least favorite Hollywood idiots. His 'Sheeple for the American way' is misnamed because all it does is collect money to give to ultra-left causes and candidates.

Didn't this incident with Asner and Elder occur at least 1 year ago?

[South40]

Assner could have called Babs Streisand, Alec Baldwin, or "Meathead" Reiner for advice on how to be a political advisor when you're a political infant.

[ErnBatavia]

O'Reilly was entirely too kissy-huggy with him the other evening....he didn't go for the kill when he could have; instead he gently let A-hole pimp some book or tv show or whatever it was he wanted to pimp.

[SpinyNorman]

"Not equipped to go on the show and debate."

Just as I thought: he has no balls! By his own words!

Reminds me of a time long ago at Harvard, where Streisand was on some anti-Republican rant, and, when asked questions from the audience, couldn't answer a single one, coherently at least. She would have been just as successful drooling on herself!

You have to remember that people like Assner are only good at reading what others write, and doing what others say. They are incapable of independent thought. At least Assner was smart enough to know that he would have been creamed by Elder! I am sure that talking with Elder for more than a minute convinced him of that! What a coward! Such deep convictions!! I think Lou Grant, not Ted Baxter, was the real idiot on the Mary Tyler Moore show!

"How surprising is that."

No surprise at all. LOL

[potlatch]

Your TITLE led me here under a false interpretation!! LOL
