Buckley had an enormous file on Vidal's degeneracy. Both men have been dead for years. Nobody won.
Those were good arguments. I am biased for the position of Buckley and to my mind he never got BTFO.

Still great to watch from time to time on jewtube.

Vidal, obviously.

I'm guessing you recently saw the new documentary about these debates? It was quite good.

William F Buckley destroyed republicans and the American right-wing.

Vidal

Buckley was eloquent, but he had no substance.

Watch him vs Noam Chomsky.

>I continued in my wicked ways, criticizing Israel as an albatross for the U.S. In May the Zionist apparat went public in its smear against me, throwing the National Review into a total panic. There was hysteria in Bill’s apartment the night he and the other senior editors discussed it: the disavowal had been prepared behind my back. This was the first I’d heard of it. Bill’s statement didn’t even mention the Podhoretzes by name, as if he was protecting their anonymity. Every other published account of the incident, on both sides, spoke freely of the Podhoretzes’ role; but for some reason, National Review tried to pretend they had nothing to do with it. Furthermore, all responses from the magazine’s readers — who were overwhelmingly on my side — were suppressed. (A couple of years later, when the Podhoretzes accused Russell Kirk of anti-Semitism, National Review was the only conservative publication that didn’t even report it.)

>I couldn’t understand what the fuss was about. I’d merely applied conservative principles — the things National Review stood for — to Israel: it was a socialist country with no conception of limited, constitutional government, which discriminated against Christians, while betraying its benefactor, the United States, and turning the Muslim world against us. It seemed pretty clear-cut to me, and none of the reasons conservatives gave for supporting Israel made much sense.

where can I watch these?

I'm not a fan of his views, but he did have a few good interviews interviews. This one is probably my favorite:

I've watched it, and I was sick from Chomsky's unwillingness to civilly engage with Buckley. Chomsky made it a contest of hot air.
