Hannity Argument

The primary conflict/issue is students and people affiliated with Boston College protesting against Conda Lisa Rice getting her honorary degree at BC. The disagreed with her Iraq war strategy and believes shes a liar.

The Debate between Hannity and Professor Almond and Colmes.

1.)The issue that they are debating was not about conda lisa rice but about whether Professor Almond is correct in his thinking and whether or not he has the correct sources to back up his opinions that disagree with Rice and why he quit his job.
2.) Hannity repeatedly asked Almond a complex question if he Voted for Kerry in the last presidential election because he was trying to get Almond to admit to voting for Kerry. Kerry stated that there were nuclear weapons and Hannity knew Almond believes there are no weapons so he's attacking him and trying to get Almond to prove himself wrong. Then he could bait Almond and accuse him to be a hipocrit for quitting his job. Hannity kept asking if he was a true democrat and if he agrees with Kerry and rudely interrupts Almond several times. He uses a few fallacies when attacking him like complex question, red herring, and ad hominem.
3.) Colme's Question to Almond was simply why did you quit your job over Rice getting her degree? He wanted to know his reasoning behind him quitting his job. His point was that there had to of been better pays to protest instead of quitting. He uses Ad hominem fallacies.
4.) Almonds response was ignoring the questions and sticks to his story that morality plays a role and politics isn't always the answer. He believes that Rice is a Liar and gives an example of WMDs. He restates the morality part of his answers and sounds jumbled.
