Firing Line with William F. Buckley Jr. “Politics and Show Biz”

Firing Line Videos, Hoover Institution, taped on October 7, 1968, uploaded to YouTube on February 9, 2011.

Guest: Orson Bean

Summary:

Another look, deliciously offbeat, at artists’ tendency to go left. One sample from Mr. Bean: “The principle of love is one thing, and love is another. Anyone who is capable of loving has to be capable of hating. And most liberals would deny that they really hate anybody in principle, although they act very hateful. A liberal is someone who will fight to the death for your right to agree with him. He is always very intolerant compared to most conservatives I know, and that’s always been the case even back in my liberal days.” And on to the movies’ current tendency toward anti-heroes, to whether Paul Newman deserves his salary, and to farmers and the meaning of life.
