Christopher Hitchens at his best (2)

[froztbite1337]

"I'm not sure if you believe in heaven, but if you do, do you think Jerry Falwell is in it?"

- "No, and I think it's a pity there isn't a hell for him to go to."

Absolutely amazing.

[InnateWhisper]

I LOVE that they interviewed Hitchens on this guy's death! LOL

[andrewc2768]

i like how all the supposedly positive letters about Falwell at the end, really praise his"faith" or ability to believe in the existence of an imaginary being, despite all evidence.

[94blackbelt]

"No, and I think it's a pity there isn't a hell for him to go to." Classic Hitchens-right to the point, no bullshit. This is a man who can GET SHIT DONE!

[irishmckiddo]

RIP HITCHENS

[autopsy87]

a hitchens quote made me laugh my ass off today on lunch. "If Falwell got an enema he could be buried in a matchbox"

[ghuegel]

... selling pencils... from a CUP!

[timewilltell7]

hitchens set the world on fire before he left - im sending his hitchslaps out everywhere

and people arent afraid to ridicule these disgraceful cults any more thanks to hitch

its better to be hated for the right reasons than to be loved for the wrong ones

the irony is that these hell cults are what have turned this planet into a living hell

[BayAreaOrBust]

Falwell was a racist cunt!

RIP Christopher Hitchens

[youthank8]

Lindsay in Indianapolis is a fucking idiot.

[youthank8]

two people yell on the street with cardboard signs and sell pencils from a cup.

[1560qtyp1560]

He had me at CHAUCERIAN FRAUDS.

[pcferret]

Falwell....Bye! Idiot!

[Tikiman03]

At least Anderson let him talk. Many of his mainstream media interviews the pundits tried to cut him off and argue.

[EnigmaComposer]

HAHAHA That Lindsay is so stupid. I dont know how she managed to compare Ellen Degeneres with Mr. Falwell.. and what does the fact that she is lesbian have to do with it? Homophobic people tend to have these things on the tips of their tongue all the time

As for Linda... well "his faith being great" is not a compliment in the eyes of intelligent people; It's an insult. So I guess I agree with you!

[hermeeown]

That Lindsay woman is a stupid bitch

[HamIsDie]

selling pencils.. FROM UH CUP! <3

[jrob24eagles]

@HamIsDie I was laughing so hard at that one!!!

[killerdec21]

Good professional presenter, I like him :)

[Killroy133]

"What I think doesn't really matter."

No, what we think doesn't matter. It is what we do.

[poikilotherm1]

@Killroy133 What you do doesn't matter either. We're on a microscopic rock whizzing around a minute ball of fire, itself spinning around in the whirlpool that is of one of the many millions of tiny galaxies in our universe. Everything we do is insigniifcant.

[adamlyons87]

Kudos to the network for allowing multiple points of view here - you don't see that much nowadays.

You've also got to admire Hitchens' style. He didn't hide behind vagueness and implied knowledge. He gave precise and detailed evidence of what he was saying time and time again. Evidence that anyone could debunk via google, because he was so clear in his examples.

Therein lies the mark of a confident and well-educated man, not a bull-shitter or someone that wants to pretend they know a lot.

[rabidchipmunk2641]

"I would doubt that he could actually read any long book." hahaha

[1IrishWarning]

A real, at least mostly objective news show!!! And I thought Americans only had Fox news, I always felt sorry for you guys.

[tusi1390]

RUDE :(

[dwolfcoach]

Nope, Hitch hit the nail on the head, he's a fat, filthy, fraud that should be selling pencils from a cup. Ha, a world w/o Hitch is left to be "respectful" of these butt wipes who offend all who think. But YT will help him live for a long, long time. Golly, I miss that guy!

[baystategal]

Why are people treated as having been special or good because they blindly believed something their entire lives? Would it be said, "she had been a life-long devotee of astrology," or, "he remained steadfast throughout his life that the earth was flat?" Devout practice of a religion is not synonymous with goodness - - the proof is in the pudding.

[caviper1]

Just to remember that I was raised surrounded by all this religious crap... f. assholes. I feel angry to remember.

[boywhoy88]

GOd is great! Jesus Christ is the way!

[OyonTheAdept]

@boywhoy88 dude, please do us a favor and get out of here.

you're a waste of space.

[boywhoy88]

@OyonTheAdept Have a nice day.

[MrWaddefak]

@boywhoy88 LMFAO. 

[boywhoy88]

@MrWaddefak Jesus Christ is waiting for you. Remission of sins is thru him. He is waiting.

[maarc3D]

@boywhoy88 i just spat at an image of Jesus Christ and i require no remission of this sin nor any repentence whatsoever. If there is a god i am granted entry to any heaven areas and secondary heaven areas with a pass which is etched into my soul, and St.Peter will show me where my soul is on entry to heaven, as any good doorman would. No unquestioning belief in nonsensical books is required.

[boywhoy88]

@maarc3D All need remission of sins thru Jesus Christ. If I were never given signs by God and if the bible never existed, men would not have salvation thru Jesus Christ. The scriptures testify of Jesus Christ who gives everyone remission of sins. He is waiting. If you do not want remission of sins thru Jesus Christ then that means you want to burn forever with no rest day and night. Choose quickly

[nashkita77]

@boywhoy88 fantasy freka

[TomFynn]

@boywhoy88 Your doctor called. He said you forgot to take your meds. Again.

[boywhoy88]

@TomFynn LOL. Have a nice day

[maarc3D]

@boywhoy88 have you listened to the massive amount of sense that Christopher Hitchens has been saying in these videos or do you just ignore them and post your Christian quotes? If you blindly follow the bible and ignore everything to do with atheism or other beliefs, then you are not worth my time, so dont reply.

[boywhoy88]

@maarc3D I have listened to the massive amount of sense. I like it. He is judging everything based on what he sees. That is acceptable. When a person seeks Jesus Christ with all their heart, they start to look at life in the spiritual realm, a realm most people can see. I don't blindly follow the bible, I follow Jesus Christ daily and try to perfect my walk with him. There is a spiritual realm out here. Bye

[Jiaxis]

@boywhoy88 Oh please. You do realize that you follow a recycled Canaanite myth with origins in Middle Eastern paganism? And you do realize christ is one of the many thousands of messianic figures of his time that were crucified, and holds parallels with deities found in Mithraism, Hinduism, Babylonian paganism, and Greek Mythology? Come on. And don't get me started on the age of the universe and the conclusive evidence on evolution. Please. I pity your delusion.

[boywhoy88]

@Jiaxis Great, have a nice day

[boywhoy88]

@juce101 Great. Jesus Christ is real and he does save. Have a nice day

[krackersdave]

@boywhoy88 Does he get a good interest rate?

[boywhoy88]

@krackersdave Who christ? Christ gives a great interest rate after this life. In this life he will give you a new mind a new ways. All you have to do is humble yourself, admit you are a sinner, and continue to ask for the holy spirit. Then you will be saved if you stay out of sin. He is waiting. Seek him today.

[nashkita77]

@boywhoy88 i shit on you savior

[bloodybirdbrain]

@boywhoy88 Really? I came on this page to listen to a heathen only to find your comment and been touched by God.

Thank you Jesus, i am now saved.

Well, may aswell watch this video so i can laugh at this spawn of Satan.

...oh yeah, Hitchens was right, Christianity is bogus and i have been touched by reality and freethinking.

Thank you Hitchens. I am now saved.

[boywhoy88]

@bloodybirdbrain Christianity is bogus. Jesus Christ is the way the truth the light though. He is waiting. Death and hell are right around the corner

[juce101]

@bloodybirdbrain ". All you have to do is humble yourself...may aswell watch this video so i can laugh at this spawn of Satan. . Death and hell are right around the corner" well he's certainly done a good job of making you humble.... lol. damn man. Well all I can say is, unlucky. Your both going to an imagenary hell and wasting your life believing it's coming! time fail.

[bloodybirdbrain]

@juce101 I was being sarcastic you dingus.

[juce101]

@bloodybirdbrain

Oh lol. Sorry i thought you were the other guy. also what you said is pretty much exactly what some woman actually said to me in waterloo the other day haha

[coleson97]

Hitchens was a fucking beast everyone who supports free thinking misses this guy

[dekebrodie]

Wonderful - and too true.

[McJohnstable]

Hitch you relentless bastard, you rock.

[nairunni60]

Oh Hitchens we miss you

[FoomerFilms]

RIP



[Freethinker12341]

Falwell was soooo evil!

[MrHaggis03]

Christopher Hitchens.....one of the good guys. Falwell......one of the bad guys.

[zweezy88]

Love Hitchens "take no prisoners" style, but I still think Falwell was sincere in his beliefs, no matter how screwed up they were. I honeslty think he believes we were attacked on 9/11 becaues of the gays and abortionists. .

[Manifestatheist]

Hitchens: King of the aborted pause. I love his complete control of the conversation.

[FrankCoffman]

Right on, Hitch.  Telling it like it is.

[davidthecook]

I want to give credit to the uploader that left the end of this story including the watchers commentary! Thank you much!

[Denethorable]

Don't hold back Chris, tell us what you really think xD

[RainboColour]

He was successful in doing things such as that is because as everything we know about religion, profiting from the simple minded and following with BLIND faith, nothing more, nothing less then that. He was a bully, he was a fraud, a money making scam. Go Hitch.

[ArticX]

Great idea i am now a certified reverent took me 10 minutes to do online ....am looking for followers.

[JeniusRetard]

"Charlatan, bully, and fraud". There's your legacy, Jerry. So long, asswipe. We never liked you anyway.

[JoeLaTurkeyIII]

Oh Hitch we will miss you SO much.

[taporsnap85]

people like hitch and jaques fresco should run the world.

[Kennko89]

"Linsay, im not sure what Ellen Degeneres has to do with it" hahahaha

[bencawley1981]

I like the way hitchens seems like he's stopped talking the interviewer starts to ask another question and hitch cuts him off and decides to add something to his previous point i've seen him do it a few times a masterful way to unsettle your opponent.

[tarheelsfan2005]

No one could EVER accuse Hitch of sugarcoating.

[redshark618]

The "Reverend".. *scoffs*

Get yourself called Reverend and people will follow you down to hell. And they won't even blink before jumping in.

[Bearsir]

Hitchens the British American Bulldog

[clearly]

Well said Christopher.

[rpsmith014]

Damn that's harsh, but no less untrue.

[rpsmith014]

@rpsmith014 no less true*

[writersblock26]

Thank you for posting this, TheAtheistSocialist.

[LAudioS]

Just by adding K Hitchens views to the schools coriculum , there would be fiew changes to expect shortly after :

1 end of conflict in Gaza ........ amen

2 end of taxes

3  relax in housing crisis ( converting churches into homesé houses) ect

[ridonculous34]

@LAudioS end of taxes and turning churches into shelters? doubt it

[chansetwo]

Apparently Fallwell's prayer was not answered. Perhaps god could not stand him either.

[treesapa]

WOW. Hitch is my fucking hero, well played my friend!

[crocswsocks]

You know, Hitch, you do have to let AC talk sometimes.

[cfibb]

Jerry Falwell. The evil Barney Rubble of 20th century American evangelicalism.

Good motherfucking riddance, you chubby fuck!  >:-}

[roac7777]

"I don't think he could read any long book".classic well done Hitch. Another classic quote from Hitch which was not on the vid. "If you gave Falwell an enema you could fit his body into a matchbox."

[droitnow]

LOL!!! What has Ellen Degeneres got to do with it??? Classic!

[writersblock26]

Does anybody know where I can find the full CNN interview between Christiane Amanpour and Rev. Jerry Falwell?

[rothw5]

While I do respect Hitches quite a lot, I do find it somewhat irritating how he consistently interrupts the opposite speaker, not because he doesn't make good argument, but I'm irritated that he gets himself painted in a poor light because he does this.

[comanchio1976]

@rothw5 Cooper wasnt 'the opposite speaker', he was the interviewer, who's job it is to coax the best out of the interview...luckily for him, Hitchens doesnt need much coaxing, and any interviewer worth their salt would appreciate this.

[rothw5]

@comanchio1976 You missed my point. To anyone on the fence, or in favor of religion, constant interruptions of the interviewer do not appear favorable. While my language may have implied I was speaking specifically about this interviewer, my comment was a general statement about Hitch's debating habits.

[comanchio1976]

@rothw5 Ah right, I thought you might have meant that actually. From what I recall, he's much more respectful with his debating opponents than he is with interviewers..for the very reason I've previously stated.

[writersblock26]

@rothw5 I agree.

[heeh2]

"People like that should be out in the street, shouting and hollering with a cardboard sign and selling pencils from a cup."

[Fenixx117]

@heeh2 this has to be one of my favourite insults of all time.

[entwood]

Hitch is a bulldog! Sinks in the teeth and won't let go. Love that man.
