For example, last week Rush was talking about the filibuster and how the Democrats are in "lock-step" on this issue while some GOP Senators may break rank. He went on to say, that this in nothing new and he 'could not think of one Democrat' that has ever broken ranks with his party.
If he were to make such a statement in a debate against a high school or even elementary school student all the student would have to say is "Zell Miller" in 2004 or Phil Gramm 1983.
The Debate would be over and Rush would lose.
I emailed Ms. Cohen, who provided the free publicity for the Evanston HS flacks to denounce Rush, offering to give the Evanston students a history test (I'm a history teacher) to settle once and for all whether Rush was correct in what he said. No reply yet.
And if you're wondering which side ducks debates, try emailing a left-wing reporter like Ms. Cohen after she gives free pub to the lefties, asking for equal time for the conservative point of view. I can tell you from personal experience that the Left never believes in either debate or equal time.
