you could say that because he kept his calm and sat through the whole thing, he can now say that he has tried to debate the left. if he didn't do it, he would get criticism for refusing to debate them. but then in that case it does show that he's a retard because he still hasn't learned: you can't debate these people. they aren't interested in debate or argument. they aren't interested in challenging beliefs or having their mind changed. they are good and righteous therefore they are right.
