Christopher Hitchens along with Ralph Reed participate in a debate on the legacy of the Reverend Jerry Falwell. This was recorded from the Hannity and Colmes show of 16-May-2007. More information about Christopher Hitchens (from Wikipedia): Christopher Eric Hitchens (born April 13, 1949, in Portsmouth, England) is an Anglo-American author, journalist and literary critic. Currently living in Washington, D.C., he has been a columnist at Vanity Fair, The Nation, Slate and Free Inquiry; additionally, he is an occasional contributor to other publications and has appeared regularly in the Wall Street Journal. His brother is British journalist Peter Hitchens. Hitchens is known for his iconoclasm, anti-clericalism, atheism, antitheism, anti-fascism and anti-monarchism. He is also noted for his acerbic wit and his noisy departure from the Anglo-American political left. He was formerly a Trotskyist and a fixture in the left wing publications of Britain and America. But a series of disagreements beginning in the early 1990s led to his resignation from The Nation shortly after the September 11, 2001, attacks. He is also known for his ardent admiration of George Orwell and Thomas Jefferson, and his iconoclastic criticism of Mother Teresa. While Hitchens' idiosyncratic ideas and positions preclude easy classification, he is a vociferous critic of what he describes as "fascism with an Islamic face," and his critics have been known to describe him as a "neoconservative". Hitchens, however, refuses to embrace this designation. In 2004, Hitchens stated that neoconservative support for US intervention in Bosnia and Iraq convinced him that he was "on the same side as the neo-conservatives" when it came to contemporary foreign policy issues. He has also been known to refer to his association with "temporary neocon allies". Hitchens no longer considers himself a Trotskyist or a socialist; yet he maintains that his political views have not changed significantly. He points out that, throughout his career, he has been both an atheist and an antitheist, and that he has always remained a believer in the Enlightenment values of secularism, humanism and reason. Hitchens has launched a detailed attack on Religion in his book god Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. He has also stated that, while he "was very much in rebellion against the state" during his youth, he is now "much more inclined to stress... issues of individual liberty." Hitchens became a United States citizen on his fifty-eighth birthday, April 13, 2007. Please let me know if you like the Christopher Hitchens videos. Thanks! - BerkeleyGuy

No matter what you think of Hitchens, he was right why did they bring on? Just to try to make him feel bad so he'd say "i'm so sorry". Falwell was a jerk and was responsible for influencing fanatical evangelical christianity in politics. Any body who says that a natural disaster is the result of 'sin' is a loon!!

Hitchens is unbreakeable. He is great. Notice how Hannity and Reed don't have a comeback to Hitchens. Hitchens is right on.

I normally Like to listen to Hitchins, but this time he has went overboard. (People might be surprised to find that I am a 10000 year Creationist) The reason I like Hitchins (Usually) is because he is very intelligent, usually articulate (Not here though) and a bit entertaining. He also makes me think, and I do see occasional fallacies in his logic, but he is likeable. I hope he gets saved and comes to heaven where I hope I am. That way, we can be buds!

I suppose that when Saddam Hussein was executed, these Fox assholes were saying "let us grieve for his family". I don't know the reaction of Fox after Hussein's death, but I can be pretty certain that they are being hypocrites right now. Surprised?

The marriage of evangelical Christianity and the Republican party has deminished both parties involved. It's tragic.

hage, "reality"? Sodiumites? Calciumites? Potassiumites? You're passing away. You have no idea of where you came from, who or what you are, why you're here, or where you're going. Spiritual realities are foundational to natural realities. Thus.. "And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth." (Joh 11:43) :-)

I beg to differ. But if that is truly the case then what does that make you? Hitchens = scholar, oxford graduate, one of the most intellectual person(s) in the world... And you?
