Re: [NewPacifica] Re: Ambush how? What is a debate?



To deny what happened was not an ambush is absurd. Ms.
Goodman has been friendly with Norman Finkelstein for
years. Norman, a Princeton PHD, has had a hard time
getting tenure although I could see his self-righteous
arrogance does not help. I have seen that side of him
many times. 
Do not get me wrong...he is brilliant but I do not
think the first two minutes out of the box calling
Dershowitz a fraud is going to help have a lively
debate..instead he picked at his footnotes in an
irritating pednatic way. 
he cited Benny Morris's history of the Arab-Israeli
conflict. Along with Shlaim, these are good general
histories of the tragedy from a Israeli revisionist
histprian POV.  One could just as easily have thrown
Morris back into Finkelstein's face since he has not
been too pleased with the Second Intifada and made
that notion clear when he was in the US in recent
years.


the comment on Scarborough and company was hilarious
and I must admit added to the end of the show being a
game show like format...great radio and hats off to
that.

but, it is a typical Amy ambush and the importance of
getting him back for debate is lost at least for her
show.

I was to interview him after her for the TV show we do
and he initially refused because he was so pissed off
over what had happened. he did not know he was walking
into a amybush. 

So while it may be fun for some to high five
themselves afterwards the issue is to reach beyond the
narrow often masturbatory lefty audience that probably
had a grand old time listening to it and seriously
reach out to other americans open to much at this
critical time.

Needless to say, I was supposed to interview Deresh
