Seen this before.

This elicits a personal tug-of-war. While I embrace the major overview of Ayn Rand, I do not agree with her atheist views.

Boy, do I miss the days of Carson when there was one (or maybe two) guest and the interview was intellectual.

You don’t see any interviews with such depth anymore in today’s sound-byte media.

Looking back in time, we can see what we have lost.

+7

She would be way too hip for the room on Letterman or Leno (even the hosts wouldn’t get it) Miss Carson more than ever now.

+3

Johnny Carson: “She is probably one of the most intense, outspoken and, perhaps, intellectual forces in America today.”

David Letterman: “Is that blouse made out of Rayon?”

Jay Leno: “So, uh, what kinda car do you drive?”

I may watch this a few times

Comparing protesters to a housefly: Priceless.

I can’t imagine ever seeing such a truly intellectual political/social theorist on a major talk show today. It would be awesome to see her eat the likes of Letterman, Maher, Orpah alive!

She sounds a bit like Natasha, that’s why you guys find her “hot.”

Kewel. I had never seen her on film before, nor did I know that Johnny ever did such “heavy” interviews.

“Every man has a right to exist for his own sake, and he must not sacrifice himself to others, or sacrifice others to himself.”

Brilliant!

…oh, and Eat that Obama!

+2

What a great interview. Carson is one class act.

jclady – Unknowingly I think she proves God many times, what she hated, as I do, is what man would use religion for; Control over other men.

Fantastic.
Ditto to most of the above comments.
Crusty pretty much nailed it.

At the end of the second video, I found this link to a rare interview with Carson, done by Mike Wallace.

I never once figured that she did not believe in GOD. That is a let down to me.

I’m betting she knows about God now.

Read Fountainhead once, Atlas Shrugged twice. Had her hand-signed editions. Gave them to the library. I don’t agree with her atheism either, but the woman could tell a good story!

+1

The interpersonal relationships of her fictional characters is odd….almost sadomasochistic in some instances. It’s a bit hard to reconcile, since her central message is spot on.

So “Chief” Your a betting man? Your bet is that some magical invisible friend for adults exists? I’ll take that bet. ha As for Rand, why would it be a let down to find out she is not a believer in fairy tales, myths and mysticism? She is the mother of modern conservatism, and is still a major force in political and personnel philosophy. Read The Virtue of Selfishness and see if you agree. I leave that book out just to see the reaction it gets. Most people think being selfish is different that its true definition.

How come when Ayn Rand says

YOU DID NOT BUILD THIS
the Republicans LOVE IT
eat it up

but when OBAMA says it
this makes him a commie??

to me that statement sounds like AYN RAND
not KARL MARX

you do not hear yourselves?

“Romney, Obama dig in over ‘you didn’t build that’ furor ”

It is never fascism when WE do it, is it?

I have actually READ her books you see

No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

If she could meet today’s dhimmilibtardcrats, she’d have to re-think that “Rational Man” basis for much of what may have been her faith in fellow man???

Mrs. Smegmakovitch your cognitive bias is showing.

How sad for you.

Hitchens would have been destroyed in a debate with Rand, and he knew that. Too bad, I would have paid to see it. It’s easy to attack the dead, perhaps Brandon didn’t accept his offer? I doubt it was ever offered. I respect much of Hitchens’ work., but could not care less what he thought of Rand or the so called ‘cult’ he and others think she inspired.

I miss Johnny…

Carson was better in NYC. But I do remember one night when Margaret Mead and Peter Ustinov were on. (Back in the day they’d fill up the couch and be on 105 minutes.) The three werwe having a great discussion when Johnny cut short the conversation to bring out Jacquie Sussann who talked at length about the difficulty of collecting a urine sample from her teacup poodle.
