Speaking of "Civil Forums"

By now, you've probably read about or seen the video documenting an unpleasant exchange between the Pitt and Fort Hays State debate coaches at a tournament last spring. Looks like there's plenty of blame to go around, from the initial bit of race-baiting by the Pittsburgh coach to the mooning incident. For a more civilized exchange (notice our own Mike Hogan in the video), see the Student Exchange on the 2008 election, from the National Constitution Center website.
