See! See! THIS is what they call "debate"
I was flipping the channels and landed on Faux.

I did not get all the details but Carville and Hannity were "debating" at what appeared to be an NRA meeting or a Minutemen rally. Like I said this is what it APPEARED to be.

Carville is the lone Dem on the stage. Hannity is spewing all that RW bullshit that has resulted in 2000 military deaths and who knows how many thousand civilian deaths. This "debate" followed the 80/20 rule: Hannity spoke 80% of the time and Carville 20%. Anything Sean said was met with all kinds of applause. Carville boos and hisses. So to the casual observer it appeared that Hannity was eating Carville alive (figuratively speaking).

I'm not sure how Carville got involved in this, unless he answered a spam email of some sort. But this is the type of "debate" Ed Schultz described when he said he would not go against debate at some RW hack shop.

1. Usually its 80% RW "debaters" and 20% (generally one) LWer
And half the time, the LWer is, um, not your strongest on-air personality (Carville being an exception).

2. It's what you'd expect at a NRA/Minuteman rally with Halfnutty there.
He whips up the crowd and then slithers back under his rock. He is as big a coward as Limbaugh.
