- One party is silenced (Due to running out of material/defeat) for over thirty seconds.
- If you request dismissal, you obviously lose.

SMuffin wins. Nobody can tolerate a discussion with him for that long.

- If you resort to a personal attack not based on the discussion at hand, or try to rewind the discussion, you will be disqualified
- Words such as "Nazi," "Communist" and "Socialist" carry penalties. If you use one of these words to compare to your opponent's political ideology, you are forced to stay quite for up to two minutes while the "victim" explains to you, calmly, why you're wrong.

On the other hand....

TERMS OF VICTORY:
- Words such as "Nazi," "Communist" and "Socialist" carry penalties. If you use one of these words to compare to your opponent's political ideology, you are forced to stay quite for up to two minutes while the "victim" explains to you, calmly, why you're wrong.

SMuffin would be finished on this alone.

who would win?

THE BATTLEFIELD:
- A quiet room, one table, both sit opposite of one another. Long enough that neither party can strangle the other.
- Well furnished, very homey.
- Only door in and out is locked and heavily guarded.
- Each contestant must bring their own material.

TERMS OF VICTORY:
- One party is silenced (Due to running out of material/defeat) for over thirty seconds.
- If you request dismissal, you obviously lose.
- If you resort to a personal attack not based on the discussion at hand, or try to rewind the discussion, you will be yellow carded. Any further attempts to do this will disqualify you.

I've seen Stewart debate/discuss with a few Fox News pundits, and he does a good job holding his own. The only guy I've seen send Stewart crying in a corner is Obama.

Fixed rule 3, seemed too unfair, thought I had already edited it.

Battle of wits, unarmed, etc etc

The last rule is stupid and unfair, because Smuffin would be substantively arguing that his opponent is a Communist.

And he'd do pretty well without that rule, by calling everything Jon Stewart said Communist propaganda.

SM: Are you now or have you ever been a member of the US Communist Party, or any other Communist Party?

JS: No.

SM: Are you now or have you ever been a member of any socialist party that disguises its true communist nature by using the weaker term socialist?

JS: No.

SM: Do you support communist policies?

JS: No.

SM: But you support government health care.

JS: Well, I think-

SM: Do you support Obamacare, yes or no?

JS: Yes, and-

SM: Then YOU ARE A COMMUNIST.

There's always hope for better things in life. But you can't let anything, friend, lover, God himself, be your hope. You have to be your own hope.

Jon Stewart is a noble man, he'd never attack an unarmed man.

IIRC, Stewart interviewed him several months ago and tried to ask some hard questions, but Obama had direct answers and challenges for everything. By the end, Stewart couldn't even maintain good eye contact. That said, I suppose the President of the United States is probably one of the most challenging people in the world to interview. I can imagine his status being overpowering even to a seasoned interviewer. In all honesty, I can't even remember Dubya getting "schooled" in any interviews.

Dude, how the hell is it fair if he can't bring up all the socialist stuff? Why would you have rules against one side? That isn't a battle of wits.

And the horrifying truth is that these progressives are now on the move to push Obama out because he's not socialist enough, and likely won't run in 2012.

Uh, excuse me, regressive, aristocratic, and rightist all carry a penalty. Try again.

If you're not allowed to use terms like "Nazi," "Communist" and "Socialist," then shouldn't you also bar things like the race card and such, to keep things fair?

No, because the first doesn't include the second in its criteria.

Not imposing a penalty for Socialist comparisons would be unfair to Stewart. SMuffin would just plug his ears and scream communist all day if he were able to. Neither version of the rule is fair, but I picked the one that levels the playing field and forces SMuffin to exit his comfort zone.

Is this really how a communist thinks? Smuffin needs to be taken out of his comfort zone to make it "fair" for Stewart?

My money's on SmartMuffin, because Jon Stewart uses writers, whereas Smuffin's special brand of [genius/insanity] is entirely self-produced.

SMuffin would win in a surprise upset.

This makes me think Smuffin has ghost writers or something

because I can't believe his level of insanity can all come from the same person

So it comes down to which comes first. Smuffin gets disqualified or Stewart is either stunned silent for 30 seconds or just decides to give up because it isn't worth it.

Stewart pretty much destroyed Crossfire when he was brought on for an interview, and he didn't have any writers for that. Of course he destroyed them by the fact that they practically wouldn't let him talk.

I'm gonna make this real easy for you guys that think it's "crazy" or a low blow to bring up communism.

http://www.cpusa.org/

That is the website of Communist Party USA. They don't hide what they're about. They are active. They (and other groups that have the same goal) are the backbone of this "occupy" garbage. So again, TC, why the f*** is it bad to bring up communism?
