John,
Ralph sent this on the basis of my having extended an invitation to debate
to Gary Mack, which he promply declined, and then during an exchange on
amazon.com to S.V. Anderson, whom a number of students have supposed was
you publishing under a pseudonym. Regardless, I do think it would be a
great idea in recognition of the 50th observance of the death of JFK to
have a public debate between you and me, where we are (or were) both
faculty, me in philosophy and you in political science, where we both have
a certain degree of prominence, have published one or more books about the
assassination, and represent diametrically opposing points of view. I
have though about this since I moved to Madison in 2006, so I hope you
like this proposal, too.
I am sure that S.V. Anderson, whomever he may be, will neither identify
himself nor make more than a pseudo-acceptance, which he has already done,
but where, in the absence of identifying himself and allowing *bona fide*
access to his location and such, this is simply one more cowardly act from
someone with a widespread reputation for spreading misinformation,
disinformation and lies across the internet. I think you and I would make
a far more interesting combination, where I propose a two-hour public
debate divided into 15-minute segments, where I go first, you reply, and
so on, which leads to your having the last word. If one of us does not
use his whole time, the remainder will devolve to this opponent. We will
tape the debate and post it on the internet.
Kevin Barrett, whom you may or may not know, chairs the "Sifting and
Winnowing Club" on the UW-Madison campus, where, by copying him on this
email, I am inquiring whether he and the club would like to sponsor this
event. Since 2012 is not the 50th year since the assassination, but is in
close proximity, I would propose that we set it up in close proximity to
the 22nd, which however happens to be Thanksgiving this year. So perhaps
Wednesday, the 21st, would be a suitable occasion. Let me know if this
works for you. If you prefer Marquette, we could do that, too. But I
believe it is highly appropriate for persons like us to debate issues of
this magnitude.
Warm regards,
Jim
