The Great Joe Rogan Debate Was Great for the Right

Kurt Schlichter, Townhall

Don’t let the fact that I have criticisms of Douglas Murray’s elitist view of who can debate

and Dave Smith’s naïve and suicidal moral paradigm make you think this debate was a bad idea. Debate and disagreement within the broad right are good. We should have people, including stand-up comics, self-taught podcasters, and, yes, journalists, talk about things in a clear and clarifying manner. As much as I hate hack clichés, vigorous debate makes us stronger. Never be afraid of an argument, and never be afraid to tell somebody he’s wrong.
