If you wanted any more evidence of why conservatives always beat liberals in a debate -- and why Barack Obama won't dare be interviewed by Fox News's Sean Hannity -- you need to see Chuck Norris wipe the floor with Arianna Huffington.

In what almost turned into a free-for-all on Wednesday's "Larry King Live," Norris demonstrated how little Huffington understands about the Iraq war, while proving that liberal elites like her, because of their position, are allowed to say and write whatever they want, regardless of factual inaccuracy, and do so with total impunity


It's true, but conservatives shouldn't get swell-headed about their arguments being so great they are unanswerable. As things stand, the few times there is an honest debate, the liberals have almost forfeited it before it starts because they are so out of practice. Today's liberals spend their lives in a moonbat echo chamber where they are free to construct a version of events that supports their worldview, and nobody ever questions it.

There has to be a huge pileup of contrary evidence - a mountain of it - before they will ever admit one of their constructs isn't reality. The most recent example is where they had to admit the Surge worked, which they had denied for an entire year and a half. The Democrats did this in mid-July. They all turned together. It was like watching a large school of fish change direction. I heard Ariana Huffington deny the Surge was working as late as early July.

But aside from these few forced climb-downs, they all maintain their constructs - "Bush lied", etc. And because they don't question each other, they have no practice when they actually have to debate Republicans. But Republicans have no choice but to debate and be aware of the other side. They don't have the luxury of the echo chamber.
