Description

In Mrs. Schlafly's previous appearance on Firing Line the topic (the Equal Rights

Amendment) was one on which host and guest were in substantial agreement. Not so here, and the discussion, always lively, occasionally erupts. PS: "Now listen, Bill, you keep setting up a straw man, and misrepresenting what I said. There are lots of wonderful, fine, patriotic bankers all over this country. This involved only ten of the most powerful banks--" WFB: "And they're unpatriotic." PS: "They are the ones who have loaned the money." WFB: "But they're unpatriotic, you say, right?" PS: "I didn't say they were unpatriotic." WFB: "But surely it's unpatriotic to redesign American foreign policy for your personal benefit." PS: "If you want to unload your bad loans onto the American taxpayer--" WFB: "That's unpatriotic, isn't it?" PS: "Well, sure."
