Thom Hartmann to Host 9/11 Truth Debate on Air America

"On Thursday, November 8th, from 1 to 2 PM Eastern, popular progressive Air America host and author, Thom Hartmann, will host a debate between Kevin Ryan, 9/11 UL whistleblower and co-editor of the online "Journal of 911 Studies," and Michael Shermer, publisher of "Skeptic Magazine" and Executive Director of the Skeptics Society."

Here is the link.

I hope we can have a lively discussion of the debate.

Also, do you think these 2 individuals represent the best both sides have to offer?

This is long overdue!

I don't think Ryan has much to offer compared to others.

Personally I would like to hear David Ray Griffin debate. The only proof needed is the proof that there are unanswered questions, contradictions and deceptions which are worthy of a new investigation. I don't think James Meigs or Michael Shermer would have a chance!

Michael Shermer Is a very experienced debater he also debated Fetzer as well. Debate is about being 'fast on your feet' as well as presentation.

No. Richard Gage AIA vs. Ryan Mackey.

Michael Shermer is a scumbag... At least from what I've seen of him on the subject of UFOs. The guy is a master of strawman arguments and resorts to raising his voice over other people to simply block their argument with empty words. I already know what hes gonna say about the whole thing, just completely deny the whole thing and be loud and obnoxious.

Here is the link for the program if you did not get a chance to listen.

I felt he could have focused more on the unanswered questions rather than getting bogged down in controlled demolition. However I still felt Ryan won the debate.
