[6Luc1fer6]

R.I.P Christopher Hitchens.

[willpreston]

@6Luc1fer6 - Hitchens is immortal

[Domzdream]

Blah blah blah.

GET ON WITH IT!!!!!!!

[MrSparksy69]

that old guy goes on abit  don't he !!!

[Domzdream]

@MrSparksy69

hehe. Yeah. Im thinking the same thing. Like, get on with it already.

[JoshLulz]

fck that old guy just rambles on at the start, JUST GIVE US HITCHENS ALREADY

[lolippi]

Blair's a dick

[MichaelStepkoff]

This Munk guy is a foundation for intellectual debate in the great West.

[MichaelStepkoff]

Is Munk's tedious speech much like how he entertains his business associates over lunch? Now the smart set are his ears and flatter him with smiles and handshakes and words of appreciation.

[MichaelStepkoff]

Is Munk a force for good in the world? When does he pocket Oxford University?

[MichaelStepkoff]

Munk is an admired man among the intelligentsia?

[MichaelStepkoff]

I wouldn't credit Munk with owning the podium like Hitchens does.

[thegreatfearblog]

Blair is not a Christian but an agent of international zionism. He pretends to be a Catholic to divert the blame of the Iraqui genocide from its obvious architects to christianity, and thus feed into the idea that the war (genocide?) was part of the old Christian vs Muslim divergence. I expose it all on my Tony Blair video.

[Yngvelli]

Christopher H

itchens gets more credibility, simply because his opponent is a war criminal.

[Jasma666]

What an idiot. Tony blair is a leading argument for this at all, he was famous for being priminister, just cus he has a strong faith doesn't mean he's fit for the role. Where as that's what hitchens is famous for and knows ALOT more than tony blair

and he says theres no ones who's had more of an impact on the world in the last 20 years than tony blair, most americans wouldnt even have heard of him they're that stupid. People hate tony blair, and pretty sure george bush had a bigger impact

[enlightenment2u]

may be in 200 years muslims could have a debate like this... with similar calibre of intellects..

[hachi2710]

WTF this asshole barking? [ No debate here go to the part 2]

[EdNortonisMineLol]

Thanks for uploading :)

[henryanimation]

Thank you so much for posting this!

[paulbottomley42]

This guy is a great fan of the word "ultimate". Sadly only really accurate when he talks of Hitch fighting "the ultimate fight". :(

[RealityCheck6T9]

15 minutes pre-amble? I think that's more than was needed

[BozoTheBear]

listen to this guy - i think he might actually be Strong Bad!

[mrconcept]

Blair was a good pm. His cabinet were a bunch of morons.

[silvana6427]

tony blair deservs a bulett in his head

[TheAfterLifeNow]

Don't ya just luv them... 2 peas in a pod

[rebel7332]

What a great intro talk

[rebel7332]

What a great intro talk!!

[callac]

Portuguese subtitles plz.

[Scanini]

Imagine for one moment there are many gods, all of these gods can create universes and set them up as they like.

You as one of these hypothetical gods look over to your fellow gods universe, you see him set his universe up exactly like the christian view of the universe. Where the rejection of him is punishable with an eternity of pain and fire. He then drops these "souls" into a Hell he created for them.

What, as one of these many gods do you think of that god, playing with his universe?

[sunbeamcatcher]

Mr Munk, my goodness gracious - cut down on your boring intro - I want Hitch!

[sunbeamcatcher]

Thank you for this upload - I can finally watch this debate in good quality ( synced and all)

[KYLYKaHYT]

@sunbeamcatcher YW, glad you enjoyed the video. :)

[johnoneowen]

Blair i s a war monger. Hitchens is a born again NEO CON. Cant stand either of em

[maulster79]

@johnoneowen

Don't think he's a Neo-Con but its true that his views on unlilateral intervention are a massive contradiction to his ideals. But its a good point you make.

[MrUsername5678888]

@johnoneowen Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuck you!

[crazystarwarsguy1006]

Tony Blair is a grinning twat. Ask anyone in the U.K. I don't know anyone who doesn't have a vomit response at the sight of his smug mug.

[maulster79]

@crazystarwarsguy1006 I LOVE STAR WARS

Blair? Legacy?.......Traitor!

I really really cant stand his smug mass murdering jesus face!

[seonf]

@crazystarwarsguy1006 Thanks, you saved me from wasting 8 minutes

[THthefirst]

@crazystarwarsguy1006 Maybe the millions that voted him into office twice, including after the Iraq War.

[S1elmx]

@crazystarwarsguy1006 i live in the uk, and i endorse this statement!

[writersblock26]

@crazystarwarsguy1006 I assume that you are from there?

[herzogsbuick]

WARNING: THIS PART CONTAINS NO DEBATE! Just windbaggery! go to part 2

[hog660]

@herzogsbuick

Thumbs up for use of the word "windbaggery"

[herzogsbuick]

@hog660 hehe

[LondonIrishRover]

@herzogsbuick Thanks for the heads up :)

[GarretsShadow]

@herzogsbuick thanks for the heads up :)

[steevyp]

@herzogsbuick I was just about to type the exact same thing. No seriously, word for word, even 'windbaggery'.

[herzogsbuick]

no wonder this guy's a windbag, he loves tony blair

[Staticnz]

@herzogsbuick they have to be gracious to Tony Blair just because he said he would come. That's just how it has to be. I personally strongly dislike Blair, but it would be very rude not to praise him in your introduction. I just hope Hitchens takes him apart. (watches part 2)

[herzogsbuick]

@Staticnz Surely! I cannot argue with that, except to say, I think it's rude to make an introduction last 12 minutes, irregardless your guests :-)
