[video] Peter Schiff debates The Young Turks

[MRoCkEd]

YouTube - Debate w/ Conservative Senate Candidate Peter Schiff

the young turds would be more appropriate.

i listened to about the third minute, when that clown tried to talk Schiff down like he was a kid, saying the problem is that we DEEEEEregulated.

although i stopped watching there, i bet Schiff destroyed the clown later.

Wow, thanks for sharing! Good find!

 

[Kotin]

The young Turks are a joke.

It wasn't too bad. TYT seemed frustrated that Schiff wouldn't put all the blame for the current crisis on the banks, and was audibly upset when Schiff said that FDR made the Depression worse.

Peter owns!

I'm about half way through this video and its perfectly clear the interviewer knows nothing. Nothing about history. Nothing about economics. Nothing about conversation. Nothing.

However, he does know how to embarrass himself.

I made it... listening to Peter own him. And yes, I actually felt a little awkward for the interviewer many times over that 20 minutes.

Schiff totally had Cenk beat in that debate.

It was a floor wiping, even neglecting my bias. All Cenk did was admit Schiff was partially right but say he disagreed on some other point. He'd provide no evidence for his disagreement besides poor analogies and "everyone knows" statements. Then when Schiff would respond to the point of contention with evidence.

I don't expect Schiff to be invited back for a followup interview.

Unfortunately, despite being right, I doubt enough individuals in their audience learned anything. Mr. Cenk interrupted Mr. Schiff with just enough pavlovian keywords, like deregulation, to ensure that his viewers felt, as opposed to thought, that Mr. Schiff was either lying or being disingenuous. It was hard to watch.

 

[surGeon]

Cenk is definitely biased and he seems to just dismiss some of Peter's points without giving any counterarguments. Gotta give him credit though for having him on and putting up a fight.

Good debate. Peter Schiff won.

That guy was trying to be a mini Hannity. I always thought TYT was pro Ron Paul. It did seem like this guy came prepared with spin. Peter needs more debates like this....

When he said regulations were bad but subsidies were good...in my head I was like 'a subsidie IS a regulation'. Then peter said the same thing that I said to myself. He's catchin' on I'm tellin ya!

Sorry for grammar, I'm a little toasty.

TYT was never pro Ron Paul. Cenk bashed Ron Paul with the whole newsletter controversy but never had the guts to bash Ron Paul directly when he had Ron on the show for a phone interview.
