With Trump tanking in the polls in key states, this one might be fun....Harris should be able to wipe the floor with Pence especially given the Trump administration's problems. The problem with Pence is he can't just go full Trump, but he can hardly defend Trump's actions without looking like a...

No poll, just wondering. Obviously it won't be available or at a bad time for some of us. Me? Certainly not. But I'm sure my wife will. I'm thinking of coming in to the office, putting some music on the computer, wearing headphones, and perhaps following a live fact-check.

Thought I would get the next debate thread started. The topics for the third presidential debate (Oct 19) have been announced, to be moderated by Chris Wallace. 1. Debt and entitlements 2. Immigration 3. The economy 4. The Supreme Court 5. Foreign hot spots 6. The candidates’ fitness to be...

The usual internet blah blah has some good news for the popcorn manufacturers of America.... Trump has thrown out (at least out of Trump Tower) his "international" advisors like The Mighty Flynn and the m.i.a. vice-presidential candidate and is concentrating his advice from Mercer/Breitbart...

Who is planning on watching the Vice Presidential Debate? Kaine, Pence Prepare for Undercard Debate VP candidates Mike Pence, Tim Kaine to take turn in debate spotlight

Presidential Debate Moderators Are Set, With Lester Holt for the First I wish that they would have included Jorge Ramos.

O'Malley challenged the DNC about the small amount of debates that are scheduled. Obviously, more debates would help the lesser known candidates get their message out. However, there is also the fact that the Republican messages are getting out unchallenged because there have been no DNC...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vln9D81eO60 There are, I just noticed, several articles (guardian, daily.uk etc) about the 'debate' between Ben Affleck, Sam Harris and Bill Maher on liberal principles with regards to criticism (and failure of doing so) of islamic theocracies et al. Have...

Via RightWingWatch: Yes, please. This must happen. Pat Robertson's apostasy can be summed as follows: Good point, Ken Ham. If we start believing the earth is billions of years old, then it definitely calls into question a literal interpretation of the bible.

Didn't see a thread on this. The leaders of the two UK parties jostling for third place had a debate on the EU. Farage is anti-EU and wants out, Clegg is pro-EU and wants to stay in. Any thoughts? i6hy8KyedJA

Whoops! Brown-Warren debate: ‘I’m not a student in your classroom,’ or how not to zing Seems like he's not doing himself any favors, with this and the comment he made about Scalia being a good Supreme Court justice (read the article, his comment drew boos from the audience - ouch). If he...

I'll be debating Richard Gage on WMNF 88.5 FM in Tampa, Florida, at 10:00 AM EDT. You can listen live here . It will be archived as well. Ideas? Suggestions? Where did Bill Smith go?

Here's a recent TV debate between Richard Dawkins vs Australian Catholic Archbishop Cardinal George Pell. I only half watched it and don't think it's particularly interesting as these things go - just more of the same really. It might only be available for a few days. Sorry if it's already been...

I look forward to watching this. I have to wonder if Anne actually has debating skills. It seems to me that she only has the ability say vile and hateful things, pandering to her audience. This may turn out to be a "debate" about as productive as the Creationist vs Science debates.

Sadly this fool requires you to explain things to him like a child.

Just incase you wanted to see it, here it is: mr0_Xd4nX4M&feature=channel_video_title Other parts in the uploader's profile. For some reason I felt sorry for Tim Pawlenty. He cuts a very lonely figure, halfway between a mainstream and B-list candidate.

Should be good. "A debate in Toronto in November will pit former British prime minister Tony Blair against fervently atheist writer Christopher Hitchens in a discussion of religion. The debate, scheduled for Nov. 26, is open to the public and will be streamed online."...

[The Coast-to-Coast AM thread was getting a little worn, so I've moved this here... - dt] FAO = "For Attention Of"... some of you were going to ask, so there it is. The upcoming Coast-to-Coast debate (Aug. 21st, 11PM-3AM MDT) is mentioned in this new article on the AE911Truthiness site. Of...

This may not be the right forum since the debate was a jumble of science, economics and politics. http://www.munkdebates.com/ George Monbiot and Elizabeth May versus Lord Nigel Lawson and Bjorn Lomborg on the resolution "Climate change is mankind's defining crisis, and deserves a commensurate...

The weekend before last, I attended the Skeptics Society Debate between Frank Tipler and Laurence Krauss. It was the end of the 15th year of lectures (my 10th year of going), and this particular "debate" was billed as follows: A Great Debate: Can Physics Prove God & Christianity? Event Date...
