Taped on June 24, 1971. In this sizzling exchange, Mr. Buckley tries to get his guest to admit that he is advocating illegal activities, and Mr. Kunstler tries to get Mr. Buckley to admit that our activities in Vietnam are at least as illegal. Buckley: "Can I proceed on the assumption that you can distinguish between a declaration of war passed by both Houses of Congress pursuant to an attempt to save the world from the Axis powers; to defend the Jewish population of Germany, to the extent that it could be done; to save people from the Axis aggressions against China-can you distinguish between that and somebody burning down a building in protest against social policies that call for building a gymnasium in that university? Is that a distinction?" William Kunstler: "You usually don't help me so much. You've given me my answer. Because what you've really said is that under certain circumstances any form of arson, mayhem, bombing is justifiable, and you've given an example of World War II. I'm telling you, there are many people in the United States who believe that it's just as justifiable to try to stop the war in Vietnam as it is to prosecute World War II to stop the Germans from doing the same thing we're doing."

I was very interested in William Kunstlers positions as I had been schooled in politics of the right wing from childhood. As a zealous admirer of WFB, it was also nice to see his limitations.
