Post a Video by Someone You (Mostly) Disagree With

Post Reply New Topic

Here's a challenge to all board members here in the politics thread:

1. Find videos by someone whose political, philosopical or religious views you disagree with. Bonus points if this is a person who you actually dislike, whether it be because they have a disagreeable attitude or any other reason.
2. Find and post one video by this person that you actually like, or actually agree with.

To get the ball rolling:

For the most part, I think DrinkingWithBob is a bigoted, reactionary jerk who is nothing more than an overrated opinion-box. Occasionally, though, he will say something that I agree with (such as the above reaction to the Man With The Golden Voice)

I also generally dislike the AtheistAntidote, simply because his so-called "arguments" tend to lack credible sources or logical structure, instead being nothing more than empassioned hyperbole, backed up by more than a few non sequiturs and ad hominems. This video, however, is one of the rare moments where he doesn't rant about the evils of atheism or the Left, and one of the rare moments I felt he was worth responding to.

I actually do not dislike TogetherForPeace at all: I actually find that he puts together very reasonable and well-thought vids, and he generally comes across as a nice guy. What I found particularly impressive is that, in the above video, he criticizes a fellow Christian for presenting an illogical and grammatically flawed question to atheists.

The same goes for the Southern Avenger: while I disagree with him on a lot of issues, I agree with him on many more, and he's not afraid to criticize both sides of the political spectrum.

I dislike David Duke

Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of my favorite guys ever. I would love to sit down and talk space with him

I should have clarified: I didn't mean "post a vid by someone you like," but "post a vid that you like by this person whose views or actual person you dislike." Hence the challenge of it.

Here is Pat Buchanan describing President Obama's nomination speech.

The first thing that came to mind when I saw this thread was Ayn Rand. Sure, I think Objectivism is a bunch of drivel used by white collar crooks to rationalize greed and selfishness-- but I must say, I applaud her frankness in favoring reason over religion (particularly because it's the one thing that really estranges her from an otherwise all-too-lockstep neoconservative following ):

I have to give President Reagan credit for this one

And I'll give Ann Coulter credit for having an iota of sense here

Glenn Beck admits that gay marriage isn't a threat, that there are more important issues facing the US than the need to "defend marriage" by preventing gays from marrying.

Bill O'Reilly does a good job of interviewing Sarah Palin, although I haven't yet seen Sarah Palin in an interview where she did not seem phenomenally stupid.
