Christopher Hitchens on Real Time, 2003 (3/3)

[Kimmis1990]

"He lied about his d**k versus WMD`S" Best line ever!

[cameronboscoe999]

as much as I love Maher, it seems this audience are predisposed to cheer and celebrate his every utterance. Kind of patronising.

[TheSludgeMan]

Protecting the sanctity of marriage,

scenario a) Me and some hooker get wasted in Vegas, and get married by a Pastor who doubles up as an Elvis impersonator

b) Money grabbing woman getting married for the fifth time

c) Two homosexual men who've been in a committed and loving relationship for years, not allowed to marry

[biggestatteist]

hwaaahaaa...that tara gives me the creeps.....

[hiphopguy0]

this is the purest democracy? lolz.

[mikem2780]

This panel would be much better served to just sit back and listen to Hitch.

[WonderBread006]

Damn, California had the 4th largest economy in the world in 2003 and now it's 9th!!!!

fuck Arnold/Bush

[CarlDRocco]

We can fix it this all right it all now by simply voting for Thomas Jefferson. He's now going by the name of Dr. Ron Paul.

[SRiankar]

"wai-wai-wai-bu-bu-bu-bu-ifif-­ifif-ifif-ifif-le-le-le-le-le"­ Stammer much, Alec?

[ArtaviusVander]

HITCHENS owned that BITCHENS!

[MrJohndl]

Holy crap that bitch is so fucking annoying! Damn shut her up!

[MrDWwill]

It is amazing how Hitchens intellectually owns every time he is on this show.

[TheConciseStatement]

Sorry cunt. I tuned out when you branded homosexuals as deviants, and then tried to use the Bible as a moral cornerstone. You're a disgrace.

[pulpsatire]

Bush and Enron artificially created the energy crisis and scapegoated Grey Davis. Alec Baldwin = Home Run.

[TheHockeyCentral]

They wanted Clinton impeached because he lied about getting a fucking BLOWJOB. Not because he lied about killing civilians on other countries.

[jaybeebles]

hitchens was impressive, if nothing else because of the way everybody else shut up to listen when he finally chimed in

ssshhhh..... the hitch is talking! lol

[tcslick420]

Baldwin and Maher attempt to defend Clinton by stating his lies did not result in deaths. the fact is, Clinton was murdering civilians during his presidency and was in fact lying, and neither of the two were able to address his point. Even the audience has no proper response except silence. i'm dumbfounded by the intellectual dishonesty of the audience and people like baldwin who simply wish their beliefs to be true despite evidence to the contrary.

[TheHockeyCentral]

@tcslick420 Um. The reason they wanted to IMPEACH Clinton was because he LIED about getting a blowjob. That's why they wanted him impeached. That's what they were addressing.

[jsnake01]

I am not a republican apologist, I am a politically unafilliated atheist, but I am really frustrated by the inane and mindless anti-bush, anti-US sentiment constantly spewed by Maher and Baldwin. The black lady was equally inept and partisan.

Nothing gets accomplished in a debate where people are so entrenched in polarizing political ideology. Hitchens I respect because he has a clear mind, and speaks what he feels is right despite social or political influences on him.

[chrisshitchens]

wow this bitch is fuckin retarded I hope somebody shoots her in the fucking forehead

[Surells]

Watching Hitchens talk to that woman is like wathcing the sun have a fire fight with a candle.

[t1mel1ne]

this is like some springer shit :/  *talk, CHEER, talk, CHEER, talk, CHEER*

[Righton2000]

Every debate needs a devils advocate, right?

[Nikola2189]

She has to be annoying and loud cuz she is so dumb compared to all 3 people around her.

[jrwilson98]

Quite a lie by the woman. American Military went to Somalia on the orders of George H W Bush in August 1992. Clinton was not even President elect at that time. Clinton was the president during the Battle of Mogadishu, which took place in Oct 1993. The facts are Somalia was an inherited conflict not one of his making.

[Jmurray5150]

Were I a gay man, I'd pack Baldwin's ass, for his hair alone, while he gave that nubian bitch something better to do with her mouth, and clinked my tumbler of Johnnie Walker Black with Hitchens while Maher refilled my bong water!!

[hunterstl]

I love how Baldwin absolutely refused to engage Hitchens through all of these. Lmao. An intellectual midget.

[oct579]

She cute like hell but she dum like hell 2

[dzikv01]

Human stupidity reaches new levels with those 4... Damn...

[Beamaus1981]

Why did none of these three guys shut that unimaginably stupid bitch up? I'm sick of the bullshit coming out of her mouth!!!

[jimbob1969]

A Black republican is like a Turkey voting for Thanksgiving.

[eldadevata]

@jimbob1969 I couldn’t agree more. The only thing that its queerer than a black republican, is a gay republican.

[jimbob1969]

She's never heard of Richard Clarke.

[leafs2574]

someone tell this sow in the middle that bush Sr sent troops to somalia not clinton, and infact it was clinton who brought them back.

and as for bosnia? that was a UN/NATO mission involving many countries that didnt result in any US casualties ahhaahahha

what an embarrassment to have on any show

[lormendi]

I agree with Maher %90 of the time, but the audience applause is way too much at times.

[efka08]

stfu u stupid americans

[RevNTheogen]

Babysitters in Bosnia? What a supreme bitch!

She obviously knows nothing about Bosnia other than statistics of Americas' involvement otherwise she wouldn't have the gall to say such things.

Also just realised that Bosnia is an anagram of Bonsai. ;)

[RealTime88]

@HumanStrategy I'm glad Alec stood up to this crazy bitch too. He is right, Republicans are full of shit!! Democrats support the troops but not stupid wars. Bill Clinton lied about getting a blow job and Bush lies about WMD's and people get killed. Who deserves more blame? That woman needs to shut the fuck up!!!

[pupil8]

She is a discredit to her gender, race and species.

[bfoaliali]

hitchens turns me on. I hope he beats cancer.

[softshock9]

Ugh.. they really will applaud wildly for anything that comes out of Bill Maher's mouth.

[mjh012363]

A state has the right to elect their governor and then turn around and throw the bum out! Get over it!!!

[europa]

Peter Schiff 2010 CT

Ron Paul 2012

[SuperColin74]

feel sorry for that baldwin guy..hitchens knows his shit.

[ItsameAlex]

@HumanStrategy

WOMAN and HITCH AGREE WITH EACH OTHER. Just goes to show what a DICK RIDING FAGGOT YOU ARE.

[aguteempasil]

@rocknfuckenroll yeah that bitch is loud, alec knows it so he's trying to "upstage" her ass.

[LiBlub1]

Why did you cut out the 'New Rules'?

[DailyHitchens]

@LiBlub1 Not my original editing. I "stole" this from another uploader.

[rsolano60]

@DailyHitchens why would you upload a video thats allready on youtube?

[TheSorrow1O1]

@rocknfuckenroll

Because that stupid, loud bitch will never shut the fuck up.

[ROUNDtheWORLDis]

My god i hate that audience...

[vapata989]

@rocknfuckenroll

As a liberal, I agree you on the points.

[YahIDontKnow]

Its always good to watch this show to remind myself that democrats are generally just as stupid as republicans, although maybe not as heartless. And this arguing on party lines is ridiculous, make up your own mind about an issue for once. Maher making cheap shots about Republicans or conservatives gets old. Someone will be making a point and hell say "We'll the Republicans *unrelated to conversation cheap shot* " And all his monkeys will cheer.

[RealTime88]

@HumanStrategy Not only is Alec one of my favorite actors but he is also one of my favorite guests on Real Time. I am tired of Republicans like this crazy bitch throwing this stupid partisian bullshit. I cannot believe Republicans kiss so much ass to their party and will do anything for an election. The key word is ELECTION. ie: 2000 in my state.

[eddo1983]

I wonder if they have an applause light for the audience.

[mrkemrk]

Smelly, no-brain black cunt.

[jbop49]

That audiance is so annoying, *anything* vaguely anti-republician and they're cheering their heads off, sounds more like a room full of children than adults =/

[aaron19840904]

@jbop49 i couldn't agree more .... but what do you expect from an audience of sheeple. I swear they don't know how to think on their own. it reminds me of what it would be like if fox and friends had an live audience and brought in the most ignorant liberal to speak for "the other side". Its ridiculous.... other than that HITCHENS FOR PRESIDENT

[samusssbm85]

clinton didn't lie about somolia or bosnia. he lied about getting his dick sucked. His lies didn't lead to wars

[ArrecBarrwin]

Alec Baldwin is so bad ass

[jwill5587]

Where did Maher find that annoying Aunt Tom?

[TonyBtheEG]

This woman is rather dumb.

[Galactu5]

@TonyBtheEG not dumb, just loud and annoying and horribly partisan.

[deveousdevil]

i really like Alec, how the hell is he related to his douchebag brother Steven??

[nr900]

By bombing the pharmaceutical factory in Khartoum in Sudan, purely to get a bump in the opinion polls, I think Bill Clinton committed a war crime. The majority of his advisors were against it, and some were not even told about it.

[ikvsabre]

Stupid cunt, we got into Somalia under BUSH.

[GrissFan]

You tell her, Alec!

[metalmania81]

spouting racism shows that your assessment of the ideas discussed strictly touches the surface, and i urge you to implore deeper before displaying such ididocy.

translated for ignorant racists=

its not about race fuck tards listen to the words, not the skin

(she annoyed the shit out of me as well, but not because she's black)

[ClementineYT]

@ElliotWoolf I hear ya, but we're watching it online for free

[charlesvan13]

I used to be a Democrat until I more than reached my limit with those stupid talking points being said here by Baldwin and Maher.

Bush didn't lie about WMD, everything he said was exactly what he thought.

And the Clintons, Kerry, and Gore can say exactly the same thing and some how they are not lying?

[Saxifrage040210]

I was only vaguely aware of Alec Baldwin before. He's amazing.

[chafaclon]

Fuck that black bitch. shes a great reason why i, and others, hate republicans, conservatives, and niggers.

[Sshelly34213]

"Not this badly"

...Oh if only this were 6 years later.

[lucidl]

bitch needs to learn to shut up and listen

[arulien]

I'm really glad that the real time audience are way more controlled now than they used to be...

[pokethechutney]

Hitchens was disappointingly quiet

[HiveDes]

Kind of hard to find a place to speak when a bunch of loud monkeys are screaming over each other.

[Mike3303]

@pokethechutney In the first part of the show, he was verbose, as usual. But they start going over domestic policy issues which bore the hell out of Hitchens.

[xSolraccarloSx]

@pokethechutney But you got to admit, every time he decides to say something, it is heard clear, and concise. He thinks about what he's going to say.

[RealTime88]

@pokethechutney Alec Baldwin was on a roll and he is a smart guy.

[aaron19840904]

@RealTime88 not so smart, just using liberal talking points. the real genius is hitchens. I can't stand when people like that black lady or baldwin use talking points. hitchens is at least extremely well read and has views that are consistent with someone who sees through the bullshit put forth by both sides, i thought bill was one of those people but i saw through his shit a long time ago

[ghuegel]

@aaron19840904 It was fun to see that whenever Alec Baldwin had a serious question, he would ask it directly to Hitchens.

[aaron19840904]

@ghuegel haha yeah i noticed that too

[iWigY]

@pokethechutney Wouldn't you be, when you hear this crap..?

[oo1cookie]

@pokethechutney It wasn't as bad in the first two segments, he doesn't live in California, therefore he didn't have much to add to the debate.

[groundzer077]

@pokethechutney I agree it's disappointing, but I don't think that he had much choice; that show was chaos. I can't imagine how hard it would be to have a conversation with a) a Jerry Springer audience and b) a panel that can't even wait for you to finish speaking before shouting you down.

[Albtraumen]

Alec doesn't say much but at least he makes sense when he does.

Boy it hurts like hell to say this but woman shut up and let the men do the talking. You're only there for comic relief.

[Converge88]

Setmayer is such a fucking party-hack. She makes a humanitarian argument to knock-off Saddam (which is perfectly valid), then shits on the American involvement in the Balkans. And why? One guy had a D after his name and the other guy had an R after his name. She should be ashamed of herself.

[billyboy630]

She wasnt shitting on involvement in Balkans, she was pointing out that Clinto did get people killed in response to Maher/Balwin's et al claim that Clintons lies didnt lead to Americans dying, something not only she but Hitchens pointed out and Maher and Baldwin had no answer.

[F33bs]

She said "babysitting in Bosnia," which is fucking ridiculous, considering we were preventing a genocide.

She's full of shit, and the worse part of it is the only reason why she supports Iraq is because it was done by the right-wing.

Hitchens is the only one in that room with his priorities in order.

[billyboy630]

@F33bs

Wewll Hitchens agreed with her and helped her make her point.

[Sshelly34213]

She made the same comment on darfur...

[cfibb]

Totally. I hate party-hack motor-mouths, on both sides. You can't trust what they have to say cuz they always tow the party line. It's so boring. They all belong on Fox News screaming at (and over) each other.

[charlesvan13]

I wanted to hear Hitchens, but it turned into an argument between the three stupid people.

[theinquisitor]

Why does the audience scream so much?

[cuchulainn8]

The empty cans sure did rattle the most on that show. Next time edit it down to the 2 minutes Hitchens actually got to speak.

[faraday200]

A pity that the posturing by the two loudmouths seemed to bore Hitchens so much, and prevented him from saying very much. He seemed to have much more interesting things to say.

[faraday200]

I love the way that whenever Alec Baldwin thinks of something to say, he repeats the first two words of his sentence over and over again, while making patronising calming hand-motions to the other members of the panel until they shut up. He seems convinced that everyone should feel they need to pipe down and hear the pearls of wisdom he's about to produce.

[hagenttzd]

Arec Barwin

[padraic2001eire]

It really seems that, in the US, Republicans are defined by their absolute hatred of Democrats, and vice versa, typified here by Tara Setmayer. How boring is that, to have to agree with everything YOUR party says and disagree with everything THE OTHER party says?

She shits all over Clinton, but supports the war in Iraq.

"So long as Saddam remains in power, he threatens the well-being of his people, the peace of his region, the security of the world."

- Bill Clinton, December 16, 1998

[sarith21]

I'd give this more thumbs-up if youtube allowed me to.

[TheSpankymonkey]

She is such a gobby cow... She should keep that mouth shut for a while and lay off the cake.

[BillKiernan]

like i said, according to the old testament she seems to love so much, she has no right not only to lead men, but to speak in an assembly of men. she's supposed to "keep silent."

[TheSpankymonkey]

It's just a book to hide behind. If people didn't place so much value on that book she would hide behind something else. First comes the stupid mindset, next comes the justification of such stupidity. It kind of fits, if you have a backwards minsdet then there probably is no better book to justify such idiocy than one made by a bunch of desert dwelling fools from hundreds of years ago.

[BillKiernan]

i'm an independent because of the dogmatic party-line towing shit we witness here.

[BillKiernan]

hitchens is bored with this partisan bullshit

[loosekarrott]

the insane bitch who sides with him isn't

[BrightSide2k]

I've only seen clips of this on youtube. Not the whole thing. Thanks!

[thisscreensucks]

whoa, i didnt know alek baldwin was The Man

[lord69z]

@thisscreensucks I actually really like his politics, he is a decently neutral person

[Zigiwy]

It has been on YT before, yes. Can't hurt uploading it again though! Thanks.

[DailyHitchens]

Has this been uploaded before and removed? I remember seeing it but couldn't find it on YT

[lord69z]

@DailyHitchens I dont mind :)

Thanks for all the hard work

[FreeInquisition]

Wouldn't have seen it if you hadn't uploaded it. Cheers.
