The Next Great Debate?

Michelle Malkin, Vox Day, the case for and against internment of United States citizens based on their national origin, a one hour debate on the Northern Alliance Radio Network.

It's a done deal, that is, if Ms. Malkin is willing to face perhaps her most ardent and well researched critic, Mr. Vox Day. Vox puts out the challenge today in his World Net Daily column. And he reminds Michelle of something she wrote recently about the post Rather era of media punditry:

The wall between the self-anointed press protectorate and the unwashed masses has crumbled

And if it will help set the proper tone, I will make sure Vox Day agrees to not wash himself before his appearance (which thank goodness, will be via telephone).

Check out Vox's blog and archives for a thorough presentation of his views on Japanese internment during WWII. And if you would find a discussion between him and the author of In Defense of Internment to be enlightening during these troubled times of war and terrorism, consider sending Michelle a note to that affect.

In the event of Ms. Malkin's decline of this offer, this Saturday will be Vox solo (and in that case, he has our permission to shower before hand).
