He is american, so he is fat and stupid retard.

>>130621062
faggot. just like op.

>>130621062
Kind of a cuck for marginalizing the John Birch Society in favor of Country Club Conservatives.

>>130621062
He was a showman who bamboozled a lot of people with his patrician drawl and arrogant bearing. I don't think he was such an innovative thinker or intellectual. Feel free to prove me wrong. But nothing I ever saw of him impressed me much.

Not my specialty but mumbles a lot, maybe sort of a Noam Chomsky of the right

His necessary and unique show Firing Line is up at Youtube thanks to the Hoover Institution. If you haven't seen it, pick a guest that sounds interesting and give it a watch. There is nothing else like it. A long-format open-ended genuine interview with people Buckley strongly disagreed with.

he was an interesting guy.

CIA nigger; shat on rothbard's memory by writing a scathing obituary; he drove the libertarian right away and thus doomed his party to the whim of the neocons for thirty years; great debater and verbalist though; one of the finest recorded example of the cultivated American North Atlantic accent, a beautiful form of speech; incredible wit; iron sarcasm; not a pussy; knows who the right people to talk to are, how to get them to hone in on the important points of disagreement; watching his debates is quite useful at a certain stage of development; has some grasp of authentically "right" ways of criticizing the left, that is, giving rightist argument against them, and not softer leftist ones.

>What does /pol/ think of William F. Buckley, JR.?

Typical rich twit fucking people over by frontrunning a grassroots political movement and supplanting it with elitist intellectual foppery.

He was genuinely articulate and entertaining, but led the right astray to the delight of rich liberals everywhere.

This, truly gifted individual who completely squandered his talent because of his personality defects

Actually a tragic figure

>>130621062

American treasure.

>>130621062

He was an impolite dick who always condescended toward his interviewees.

I hate him.

>>130621062
He's the one who proved that dems r tha real racists. Based Buckley ftw! If only he would have gotten his hands on meme magic. Just imagine. Like whoah

Shadilay fellow pedes!

Good voice and accent but I blame him in part for the rise of neoconservatism. Not very good at all but some of his stuff is nevertheless OK to listen too mostly for the way he speaks and not the content spoken of.

Firing Line was excellent.

Buckley was a gentleman and a scholar

Vidal was a queer
