Now that was a debate. It was just beautiful.
On Anderson Cooper tonight, the topic was Dr. Dean calling Fox News racist yesterday on Wallace's morning show.
To debate it was the esteemed Eric Micheal Dyson vs. the sleazy Erik Ericson.
On an aside, I hope I am spelling Ericson's name correctly.
Anyway, the usual smirk and chip on his shoulder swagger of Ericson's got wiped out rather fast.
His brand of rightwing smarminess was no match for the brilliant Mr. Dyson and his quick thinking.
Dyson went after Fox and the teaparty and brought up the Obama as Witch Doctor when the lame "I never saw racist signs" that the right uses as a way to cover. And since our media is unwilling to challenge anyone on the right or their lies, they soon become truth.
Until Dyson brought up the Witch Doctor sign and video was retrieved and put on the air with it.
The truth hurts.
Ericson tried to weasel away from having to debate Dyson anymore by saying we have nothing to talk about. We cannot agree.
Dyson comes back with 'You play for the LA Lakers and I play for the Miami Heat. We disagree and are on different teams but, we are both in the NBA"
Ericson was stunned.
I never saw Ericson look so slumpped and whiny on air. Dyson just mopped up this little man.
