Hitch was as clever a wordsmith as I've ever known. However, while not throwing Sharpton under a bus, his entire opening monologue and declaration regarding anyone using the preface "reverend" dismissed Sharpton from the stage before Al even opened his mouth. Christopher was (and will always be) an intellectual badass. I've been in awe of his intellect, oratory skills, worldly experience, and eidetic memory since the first time I saw him. His books are relatively short but it took me a long time to read all of them - every sentence has a perfect word or reference, which I invariably have to look up. I never met him but miss him like an old friend.

Hitchens: And Science agrees with logic on all of these points. Sharpton: Blue crayons taste like green.

Al sharpton debating Christopher Hitchens is like having Justin Bieber debating Einstein on mathematics.

@user-lk4lx9je4y

I get your analogy, but Einstein was not a mathematician, even tho his field of study did require a strong understanding of math. There was time that he worked out one of his theories and had a math problem in front of himself to solve. Somebody advised him to let a be done by a math professor and eventually he let it be done. Then he wanted to solve it himself, but while solving it he heard that the mathematician had already solved the problem himself. So he might have more then earned a little respect from people on his math skills, his math is not what Einstein should be remembered for.

I wish he would have survived long enough to speak on what I see today: Freedom of speech is now under threat from the other side of politics. Liberalism is dying because progressivism is forbidding individuals from having views or arguments that are equal to consideration for group identity and intersectionalism. This trend herds us into groups and awards us moral authority according to race, age, sex (gender?), etc. Someone else gets to make your case for you based on your rank in this new political scheme. I wonder what Hitch would say.

I have no idea why Sharpton would even agree to debate with a person with Hitchen's intellect. This is like putting a 5 year old straight into physics class.

He never said that, it’s a simplification of a quote from Edward Gibbon regarding religion in the Roman Empire. “The various modes of worship which prevailed in the Roman world were all considered by the people as equally true; by the philosopher as equally false; and by the magistrate as equally useful. And thus toleration produced not only mutual indulgence, but even religious concord." What this is referring to is the way in which religion was used to justify power, such as Gaius declaring himself a god or the emperors being able to deify people, commonly being used to increase the power of a family or whatnot

+tom johns I agree Tom. I think Al Sharpton is a con man, pure and simple, however, in this debate he played it just right, which was not to come across as a hot-headed, religious fanatic. To be honest, I think Hitchens is rather disappointed that he didn't face a religious beast that he could slay with long dissertations about evil human behavior in the name of God. Hitchens seems rather flat, and ho-hum, when he isn't able to get his counter part to froth at the mouth.

Hitchens was a good orator which allowed him to circumvent the actual discussion. For an atheist to prescribe to religious doctrines in the first place and then use that in his argument is a misrepresentation of his belief. He uses 2nd order deduction of religious institutions to support his first order claim that God doesnt exist. this is fallacy. the atheist should have no problem excluding religion from his format of debate and his reasoning, yet it is exactly all he has as fuel. most atheists dont have a problem addressing moral judgments and practical applications of these within government institutions, but he avoids the overarching question of why is there this moral framework to begin with i really wonder what hitchens would have to say now about his assumptions

Mathew Morash Whoa whoa. Hold your horses. I wrote essentially one sentence which was that the idea of consent of the governed was to mitigate out fates being controlled. Being born into this? Boo Hoo

You could sense Hitchens really settle in early on after the first rebuttal because he knew this one was going to be real easy.

EXACTLY!!!! Very well put. And Christopher also went easy on that moron Sharpton, who resorted to personal attacks and insults because he knew he was out of his league. I don't think the idiot even understood half of what Christopher was saying. Besides, Sharpton was so PATHETIC that he to the end tried to convince intelligent people that the reason he couldn't keep up was because Christopher didn't answer his question. SMH.

@@kennym3492 and he actually took it easy on that moron Sharpton. It's always a shame to see a senior citizen making such an ass out of himself like that fool Sharpton.

It's hard to have a debate when 1-side refuses to actually debate.

I like coming back to this about once a year to enjoy Hitchslapping Sharpton for an hour. He was absolutely destroyed; "Reverand" Sharpton had no business sharing a stage with Hitch.

Man Sharpton is slow and no match whatsoever to Christopher at all.......

Sharpton uses 50 words when one word will do.

Around @1:22:30 Shartpon: "[nonsensical waffle]" Hitchens: "That went straight past my bat" Audience: "Ahahahahaha" It was almost cruel having Sharpton face off against the intellectual titan that is Christopher Hitchens. Almost. He never met his match and he died undefeated. Yet he lives on in our memories, in his books and on KZread.

44:22 Hitchens already answered this... There are good people and there are bad people, but for good people to do bad things requires religion.

Christopher Hitchens tells it how it is! An awesome intellect.

58:06 I really like how Hitchens handles this. After various fairly lighthearted personal jabs at Hitchens, when they make fun of him for his divorce, which i would say is something of a breach of taste, Hitchens responds with a simple but beautiful reflection on divorce and his ex wife - which really shuts everyone up.

Pathetic! To think that Al Sharpton could possibly match wits with Christopher Hitchens is totally absurd. If you are gonna debate Hitchens, you better bring some support because you are gonna need it.
