Politics - An Honest Dialog (And I thought dialog was dead)

Jon Stewart joined Bill O'Reilly on the "The Factor" recently and I was surprised to see a fair (and entertaining, too) dialoug between two personalities that, at least in the popular political American mind, represents the political left and right. I do think, in both Stewart and O'Reilly's case, the truth is more nuanced. Regardless, I thought it was refreshing to watch this discussion. I believe that this is the remedy for the current polemic gridlock that encumbers America politics. Instead of simply discrediting the other side, through linguistic gymnastics and marketing, the goal should be charitable engagement. Let us ask the difficult questions about the most contentious questions on the political landscape, like "homosexual marriage", abortion, and others. One has to love the sinner and hate the sin; no matter what side your on. Otherwise, we will continue to be mired in the swamp of "Don't ask, don't tell" and "A Woman's right to choose". It always strikes me as disturbing that the proponents of the later phrase never complete the sentence and say that they believe a woman should have the right to choose to KILL her baby.
