>>Buckley's on air sparring with Gore Vidal also sparked a lot of controversy, especially when he called Vidal a "faggot" during prime time. That usually loses you some points is a scored debate. <<

>>>In a famous exchange with Gore Vidal in 1968, Vidal said to Buckley: "As far as I am concerned, the only crypto Nazi I can think of is yourself."

Buckley replied: "Now listen, you queer. Stop calling me a crypto Nazi, or I'll sock you in your goddamn face and you'll stay plastered."

Years later, in 1985, Buckley said of the incident: "We both acted irresponsibly. I'm not a Nazi, but he is, I suppose, a fag." <<<<
