Ep. 531 Dave Smith KOs Alan Dershowitz on Iran
Adam Haman returns to help Bob analyze the ZeroHedge debate on the Iran war between Dave Smith and Alan Dershowitz. The famous lawyer had but one argument, and it was ridiculous at that. Dave also displayed quick-witted responses.

Btw make no mistake. Dershowitz, by stating that the inhabitants of Gaza support Hamas, is inferring that they are a legitimate military target, which they are not.
PS I am 55 years old and Dershowitz was last a civil libertarian when I was a small child.

Libertarians can only land their universalist ethics on audiences completely bereft of historical and scriptural understanding.
Concepts such as law, property rights, individual rights never have applied in a state of war between two peoples — they only apply between invidual members of nation that shares values, faith and ways of life. These are expressions of genetic character.
Denial of this stems from a poison dogma injected by our eternal enemy roughly 300AD.
Watching them trot-out their misframed views is like watching a retarded kid trying to put a triangle through a round hole over and over again, and I do not believe Mr. Smith is ignorant of this while he performs for this audience.
Remember these words as the coming years bear them out.
You are a clown and your clownish collectivism is why war is so common in the first place. You have just declared war against me. Don’t cry foul when you lose.
