What is the point of interviewing people if you aren't going to let them talk?Props to Hitchens.

that was the wrong time to use that expression, because Hitchens IS the smartest guy in that room.

You can look at any one of hundreds of fox youtube clips and you will see that the hosts often defend particular figures, such as Jerry Falwell and the religious right, by comparing them to people like Polpot and Hitler and Mao and any slew of mass-murdering "god-haters". I find it interesting that they are compared to some of the worst people in human history instead of the best, no matter what their faith is. Not a very convincing argument there Fox. Sorry.

Hitchens is awesome. He understand and knows how to deal with the types of Ins-Hannity & Clownes. Hitchens dances circles around these two buffoons. No offense to real buffoons.

The reason every religion is filled with "miracles" and absurdities such as Noah's Ark or Tower of Babel is because the ignorant masses cannot be brainwashed thru being made to believe in things that make perfect sense. You have to make the ignorant masses believe in things that are confusing and totally absurd in order to bring them under psychological control. Once you have the sheep brainwashed, you can syphon all their money and make them do your bidding.

is hitchens supposed to change his opinion of falwell just cos hes dead?? say that although his life was disgusting, vulgar and manipulative, hes ok cos now hes gone and we have to show respect. its not like hitchens picketed falwell's funeral and harrassed the famliy and friends. he was invited onto a news programme and asked his opinion, good for him to sticking to his guns and not bowing down to hannity's childish tantrum when he didnt get the answer he wanted (an apology from hitchens)

wow, i love it when people ask for opinions, point of view, etc., then freak out when it's not what they want to hear. i think hitchens is incredibly arrogant and rude, but... why the hell not? it's not like he forced his way on to fox news. hitchens pwnz in this debate.
