Max had some nice one-liners too, actually - for example, the line about
"These people are not disposable. These are human beings with a chance
of coming back" is a good one-liner. His opponent and alleged
moderators didn't have any particularly good one-liners, or at least
none that stuck in my mind. Even taking the audience's prejudices into
account, I think Max held his own.
