Bill Mahr is undeniably clever, and sometimes even amusing, but he lost me with his RABID support for PETA, when he was quoted as saying,"When people tell me that their grandmother would have died but for animal research, I say 'Fine. Let her die.' Why is your grandmother's life more important than a rabbit's or a dog's?" This man may be clever with a joke, but his vantage point is definitely warped.
When we can't agree that a human's life is more important than a lab animal's, we're going to disagree on a lot of things; the world is a diferent place to him than it is to you and me.
Heston would do well to stay away from this type of venue-- it's an ambush, and NOT his forte. No criticism of the man, just truth. He made his living for 50 years giving eloquent, emotional, pre-rehearsed soliloques. Asking the man to suddenly become a heads-up fast-response specialist is a little unreasonable. Ask him what he believes, and don't interupt. That, however, is NOT what Politically Incorrect is all about.
Liddy and Nugent are better at this forum because they make their living at it. (Nugent now admits it's his day job.)
