Video of the Day

September 29, 2006 by Marc Lamont Hill

Today’s video of the day comes from MSNBC, where I squared off with Ben Ferguson about the Hugo Chavez controversy. Ferguson, one the nation’s leading young conservatives, argues that real Americans should boycott Citgo gas in a show of solidarity with Bush. Of course, I disagreed. My only regret is that I didn’t have time to remind Ben and the viewers that Chavez is not a “tyrant and dictator,” but a DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED president.

GO DR. Hill! lol. You completely steamrolled over the fleeting Ferguson. he got desperate towards the end by using the Hamas example almost to sidestep the question of Cito. I love when you whipsaw young conversatives and their faulty prose.

Good job Marc, even though I think the interviewer didn’t do a good job of allowing both perspectives to be completely heard.
