Peter Schiff vs. Stephen Leeb CNN 1/10/09 [video]

[haaaylee]

wow. did he seriously try to namedrop hayek ? who does he think he is fooling? he doesn't read hayek. and then he actually said peter probably has never heard of him? can he really be that stupid? is it possible to be that ignorant o f a person you've debated before?

 

[Mitt Romneys sideburns]

To answer that little guy's question, when has there ever been a case in history when the government stayed hands off?

 

[jvockrodt]

Wow, Leeb cites Road to Serfdom in an effort to justify massive government central economic planning as a way to avoid dictators. I can't believe how clearly wrong this guy is. He is completely off the wall. Has he even read Road to Serfdom?

 

[SamuraisWisdom]

Wow that guy is a jerk. Seriously. He wasn't debating at all, he was just trying to insult Peter to try and make him look bad. And he was being extremely rude interrupting all of the time. I'm surprised Pete didn't get a little more angry, but then again it's probably a good thing he didn't because he definitely came off as the intelligent one.

 

[paulitics]

These 2 guys are hillarious together.
Weasel guy" " "Peter, Peter, you have a remarkable ability to not answer the question".
Peter Schiff: "You have a remarkable ability not to understand".

Funny stuff.

 

[Nate K]

what sewer did this bug crawl out of?!

 

[Athan]

Time to mark him on the list.

Peter can keep his cool because he KNOWS what is coming. Getting pissy with anybody won't change the fact.

 

[AJ Antimony]

Peter needs to be more prepared next time to really make Dweeb look like an asshole for interrupting EVERY word Peter was trying to speak.

 

[qwerty]

OMG!

Weasel!

 

[ClayTrainor]

To answer that little guy's question, when has there ever been a case in history when the government stayed hands off?

i wish peter would retaliate with this kind of logic. The problem is, peter always tries to answer Leeb's loaded questions.

 

[Mitt Romneys sideburns]

Peter made him look like a fool last time. Looks like he tried to come back with a vengeance.

 

[Andrew Ryan]

This is the third time I've had to listen to that little weasel. I don't think I can take much more.

 

[werdd]

why do they put this twerp in schiffs league?

 

[Lucille]

Leeb sounded desperate.

 

[Brassmouth]

It wouldn't hurt Peter to name a couple countries just to shut that weasel up. South Korea's a good example.

 

[sevin]

Weasel: Peeter, I firmly believe that getting raped a little now will prevent us from getting raped harder in the future!!! PEETER!!

Peter: But my point is that we don't have to get raped at all, and getting raped now will only make the future rape more painful.

Weasel: PEETER!! Give me one example of a person who successfully completed post-rape therapy who wasn't raped at one point!!!!
