He spent his early years in Europe and was educated in Paris and London before returning to the US and attending prep school. His first languages were Spanish and French.
Wow, Vidal invented internet humor that day. It deserves a place down there with "not so much" and every other shit thing that people mistake for witty despite the fact that it's so empty it can be applied equally to any preceding comment.
+MetrazolElectricity Wow, this is the first time it bummed me out to unsubscribe from a channel, and I've been following you for years. Best of luck, man.
The Cohen Brothers stole Vidal's line here for "The Big Lebowski" scene when The Dude replies likewise to the cop with a gun up his ass. Just kidding, I don't think so.
THAT was it? That was Vidal's brilliant repartee? Oh, who cares whether what Buckley is saying is actually substantially correct; Vidal is so much more fun! And in retrospect, we know that Nixon was indeed a stinker. Then again, so was Johnson.
billybagbom they did indeed mobilise to say that we conservatives are racist. Look at modern black society thinking all conservatives are racist. Also do some research on the subject. Also Buckley's statements are indded substantially correct.
MrHistorybuff99 Sorry to get back to you so late. I am in complete agreement with all of your points. Sorry if I made myself obscure; I tend to do that sometimes.
@Aaron Robertson The plantation masters (the Democrats) kept slavery going for 400 years (including the bullshit period after they were "freed"), so it's no surprise they know how to manipulate blacks.
As YOU will be placed upon the dinner plate of the Flying Spaghetti Monster to be deemed flavorful or not. Be Afraid! As for me, I'll be avoiding idiots with "Russell's Teapot" type cosmic threats.
That was childish, not clever. Vidal seems very egotistical and instead of debating ideas, he goes straight to insults. Gee, I wonder where our current political climate has come from.
Isn't it interesting that Buckley mispronounces Negro? Instead of Neeee-gro, he says Niggg-ro. I am a southerner, and that used to mean one thing and one thing only. In the Deep South, they said niggggrah. And for Buckley, a yankee, to say it like that is just so awful. I think even LBJ said it need-gro most of the time.
Buckley was born in the north and prepped in England which is partially the reason behind his bizarre accent, but he also spent most of his summers growing up in South Carolina. So that is also a factor
Yup. That's how you insult Gore Vidal, William F. Buckley, and Richard Wagner all at once.
The dopey music kind of defeats the purpose of this doesn't it? I want to hear the conversation.
+MetrazolElectricity It is pretty ridiculous. The music.
Don't worry about it, the amazing one-liner was anything but.

There were so many legit one liners in that entire series and you go with this one?!?
Wow that was brilliant! Maybe he was too busy concentrating on the gerbil in his rectum to pay attention.
+liamfun1000 Vidal was quite funny - at least he outlived that arrogant douchebag homophobe intolerant Buckley !
claronium 780 i have no doubt, peace out brother

Just reinforces what I always thought, that Gore vidal was smug and enamored of himself
Oh like Buckley isnt more of a smug pompous arse.
his family spent much of their time in south carolina, his mother was born and raised in new orleans and his father was from texas. Yankee?
Looks like a love affair.
They both have a transatlantic English accent genius.
Unreal in that wonderful observation...days gone by...Vidal cheeky bastard

Best one-liner ever..? Ouch!
Absolutely hilarious. Love Gore's grin @ 1:08
PLEASE upload more Vidal VS Buckley videos!!! These are hilarious!
Watch Best of Enemies. Good movie
Please remake with no music playing in background. Made it difficult to hear their voices. Thanks for the vid

I see you read the same Wiki article i did on Buckley.:))
You should turn the music up more
Ramen brother, Ramen!
Oh wow, what a "great" one-liner. Are you impressed by the sun rising every day as well?
BUCKLEY OWNS VIDAL.....GREAT VIDEO
No need for the Wagner music in the beginning.
Vidal could always see through Buckley's insufferable bullshit. Gore's response at the end was classic.
Gore's only real success in these debates was showing the extent to which someone can be smug.
Gore Vidal aka Peter puffer 😂

damn they said 19 hundred 60 instead 1960 lol
Vidal ... nahhhh.

Sorry but I wasn't listening
@@makutas-v261…to my comment from 10 years ago? 😂
@@tahitiantreats Yes 😼🤭😇
How has your thinking changed?

Thank you. I am really tired of people saying we need more like Gore Vidal these days. If anything, we have too much of his ilk.
But Buckley threatened Vidal with violence.
@@CesarCloudsthat's a semi common occurrence when you try to slander someone's public reputation with accusations of being a nassssi 😆
@TheAsheybabe89 Looking back, I agree.

Maybe you just have no idea what you're talking about. Actually, maybe not maybe.
Look at you hating someone because they speak differently. How tolerant.
