A Thompson - Methenitis Debate?
Submitted by Law of the Game
Last Friday, I received a call from the one and only Jack Thompson. Apparently, he had read my Open Letter to Glenn Beck, and had taken some offense to some of my statements in the letter. Of course, I intended no personal offense to Jack, and after a fairly lengthy phone call, he suggested that he and I have a public debate sometime in the near future. Having talked to Jack, I think this debate could be really productive as a means to get all sides of the issues out in the open to a larger audience, despite any previous skepticism I may have had.

Fantastic idea. Why didn’t I think of that? Oh, I did!
Mr. Methenitis is very bright, extremely thoughtful, and he actually believes in the First Amendment and its celebration, as do I.
Any college campuses out there want a debate? We’re ready.

Yes, Jack, you clearly believe in the First Amendment and celebrate it . . . as a tool with which to bludgeon everybody else’s free speech into the dirt.
Mr. Methenitis, you should certainly debate Mr. Thompson, if you’re so inclined. However, be advised that if to do so will require being in the same room with him, a week’s worth of scalding hot water, carbolic soap, and a Brillo pad is required in order to rid oneself of the stench of his manure.
