Lawrence Krauss Remembers Christopher Hitchens 1949 - 2011

[canufi]

Krauss should stay away from writing crackpot books like "universe from nothing". Instead we should consider theories like the fact that there was always something here so it didn't come from nothing it came from infinity. Saying it came from nothing is crank/crackpot theory

[cineasta71]

This anchor needs a night of passion.

[Ebvardh]

Christopher was more interested in battling totalitarianism and arguing for equality than to be liked.

He fought for all of us, and against those ideas in us that made us want to have gods and idols, even to the cost of sacrificing our rights or those of other less fortunate.

And I liked him for that, and I sympathize with his cause, and it amazes me how there can be opposition to such values.

[canufi]

@Ebvardh equality? he said women are the softer gender, women and men are not equal.

[Lordradost]

ghastly woman...

[nbm953]

what a bitch.

[nordhorny]

"After a night with him one came away with hardly believing it happened, because the topics that you ranged over were so vast and his knowledge on absolutely everything was so great. He was by far the most well-read person I have ever met. He made me want to grow up and be an intellectual"

- I just love the reverence with which Lawrence said that, a heart-felt tribute to a dear friend indeed.

[MrShadowfax42]

Did she actually read directly from her prompt card at the close? "Thank you very much Lawrence Krauss, er.. friend and author". Isn't she paid to actually string these concepts into a coherent sentence? Jesus. Also it really annoys me when people shorten others' names without even knowing them or knowing how they want to be addressed. It's majorly ignorant. The presenter is awful.

[mouchochi13]

This interviewer is a fucking loud breathing, dimwitted cunt

[twooffour]

@mouchochi13

She just has an annoying voice, maybe she's a bit, um, "over-energetic" - nothing she said was somehow stupid or "dimwitted".

Careful - if you use the word "cunt" without appropriate justification, it can easily come off as a sexist slur.

[frostyknickers]

It's been said before but you shouldn't conduct interviews drunk...

[twooffour]

@frostyknickers

An ironic comment given that the topic is Hitchens ;)

[i3u7n5]

"How would 'Chris' like to be remembered?"

"As 'CHRISTOPHER' you dumb bitch."

[lifeschild1]

This interviewer is an annoying BITCH! Fire her!

[atheistrocker100]

oops, not the interview i was looking for. Thumbs down,

[onefodderunit]

Hitchens was right about Kissinger the war criminal,

[detahdomo]

a friend and author, a friend, and author, and of course, friend of chris hitchens, and a physicist, and friend, and author.

[HSAdestroy]

What is with this woman, she called krauss a friend three times at the end LOL

[Nederlanderization]

I'm dutch and now i hate brit fags a little bit more :)

[AtheistPowerlifter]

I can hear her breathing....it's fucking distracting.

[shimsham35]

Fuck this bitches voice makes me wanna stab my ears.

[pippipmagrip]

Yeah, he didn't like being called "Chris" and you're voice is as warm as sandpaper. look at it at 1.29, she's got cooties?

[doaralmeu]

what's up with this cunt, does she have the excuse of beeing on crack or is she naturally idiotic?

[esraretin]

hitchens supported iraq war? godlessness doesnt lead to good things

[jameskparos]

@Trebizondian Indeed!!!! Well said!

[movement26]

Channel surfing I ocasionally catch CNN if this woman is on.......I hit the remote immediately.....Whoever told her she could broadcast needs his head looking at.

[greboharry2]

terrible presenter.

[sulljoh1]

He does a little twitch in his grave every time she says "Chris."

[Pandorum4000]

I FUCKING LOVE MY ACCENT!

[flutterandwow]

I liked Hitchens as much as he had a lot of style, was very entertaining and was a damn good writer, but he also said such a lot of bullshit...

[jazz4]

I LOVE INTERVIEWING! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

[greekpanther1]

@jazz4 UR SUCH A WHORE

[jazz4]

@greekpanther1 Thanks!

[Holeburger]

Whoa. I mean, like, seriously, whoa.

[socalcraigster]

Could you imagine having sex with this woman-host? 

[BuddhaBebop]

@socalcraigster the sex would be really fun but she'd blow out your eardrums

[daisy20071]

Who the hell is this woman? o.O

[kramdoog]

Nicely put.

[MyBallsAreSquared]

Krauss and Hitchens - two of my favourite people.

[susanannsusanannie]

She just loves her job.

[trident3b]

@susanannsusanannie I love my job, but it doesn't make me to bark.

[snowglobe87]

@trident3b What makes you to bark????

[22scarecrow22]

Did she manage to escape the looney bin?

[orbital92hotmail]

I would like to slap that woman in the face and then just stare at her.

[aigg]

Clearly, this interviewer suffers from some kind of neurological disease.

[deluxerecordings]

Give that woman some calming milk.

[bongobanjo]

Everyone worth anything worships Christopher. This drunk establishment whore is quite a disgrace.

[mouthyweasel]

She has Christ on the brain. It IS a form of brain damage, of course, but we can all picture her shoving her head up a horse's rectum, and what she might see inside the horse's rectum and how it might feel to be gasping for breath inside of an angry horse's rectum.

[JackDaniels350]

I think that lady is on cocain

[ThomasCarson1982]

It really annoys me when people say Chris instead of Christopher!

[yatter1]

@ThomasCarson1982 She´d have been Hitchslapped if he´d heard her.

[TheCelticChimp]

@ThomasCarson1982

I think you and Hitchens should have gotten over that. :)

[snowglobe87]

@ThomasCarson1982 Chris. Just kidding, I loved him!!!!

[henryporter101]

@1:21,Krauss realizes he's talking to a very strange person.

[J2P7P]

wtf is wrong with her

[frostyknickers]

That lady is a cunt.

[PortugalRacional]

Happy to see that this video has 101 Likes and 0 (zero) Dislikes...

[cptmuska]

shes yelling so much

[GiulianoTaverna89]

This is an example of how not to behave after a few too many, for examples of how to, see Hitchens.

[Freethinker12341]

@GiulianoTaverna89 I don't want to doubt the integrity of Christopher Hitchens. My heart is right in there with him, but my mind is telling me different. Why did he support the war in Iraq while calling Bill Clinton a "war criminal" and then was against Obama's war in Libya. Was he just a demagogue who wanted to all sides and wanted everyone to like him? Was he just a flip flopper...like Mit Romney, Or was he truly a man of integrity?

[lifeschild1]

This woman abnormal woman is definitely missing her medications...what a nut job!

[halflifeproductionz]

that bitch is crazy.

[baxtar2012]

She's feeling kind of Randy kind of Rumpy Bumpy. English she is and nothing more.

[mouthyweasel]

She forgot "Albanian dwarf". I love that one. Chritopher Hitchens was a gift to mankind.

[AmirNikfekrHD]

Nutjob woman

[lucidman100]

this is a perfect example of how becky anderson (the nutjob interviewer) makes the interview about her and not the subject matter.

[vulnerabledonkey]

She's pissed as a fart.

[trabecular11]

This interviewer is terribly obnoxious.

[dawtchins]

DID SHE JUST CALL  HIM CHRIS! jesus fucking christ.

[anime891]

@dawtchins No, she didn't. She said friend of Chris.

[huwrj]

It's not Chris, it's Christopher.

She sounds like she can't handle her booze like Hitchens.

Have some more respect, you foolish woman.

[dwolfcoach]

Christopher Hitchens; A Herculean bulldog for free speech, open inquiry, and evidence based conclusions. For those of us that reject an afterlife, this guy just might live way past his life. Will there ever be another Hitch? One can only hope!

[hldemi]

This woman is drunk as hell or psychotic . Look at her body language

[sqmuth]

What a hideous, sneering bag of an interviewer. Another example of CNN taking their cues from Fox.

[cutes22]

Christopher, get it right woman. Chrisropher.

[stemcgolf]

"It's Christopher if you don't mind....after all....it is my name"

[shawndimery]

@stemcgolf Haha!

"I promised my mother"

[airsidetv]

She obviously didn't realise he didn't like being called Chris so she blew it there and the cackle of misplaced laughter thoughout was silly.

[DownUnderGeordie]

trust me here, she is off her kite on coke....

[DarkPrince0fWGTN]

God this anchor is obnoxious

[AMpufnstuf]

why is she laughing before his first word is out of each reply

[Unit63]

Ya know, I wouldn't put it past CNN to have suggested this implied disrespect ("Chris") ahead of time.

[MattSingh1]

Erm...I think I've/we've found the female Richard Quest, amazingly...

[fkyoudippy]

wow wtf @ this woman, krauss is even laughing at her lool

[ponedog]

I cannot stand this woman.

[delboy2008]

why is she wearing her jacket indoors? She wont get the benefit when she goes outside.

[Trebizondian]

"How do you think Chris would have liked to be remembered?"

I think he would have liked to be remembered as Christopher.

[gamerska]

That was kind of annoying listening to her repeatedly call Hitchens 'Chris', when I have seen him correct people on the fact that his mother named him 'Christopher' several times.

[bethnor]

please call him CHRISTOPHER, if only because it was his name.

[un2mensch]

I also feel the need to chime in about the host. what the *fuck*

[majestic93]

What an absolutely awkward interviewer. What is wrong with that woman?

[machngunjoe]

I hate that sound that some British women make when they speak ... that high pitch at the beginning of her sentences, its like they are trying to sound cute or something. it annoys me to no end.

[sattttt]

@machngunjoe so do i ,was raised in england thats the annoying posh 'somethings stuck up my ass' accent..cannot stand it

[machngunjoe]

@sattttt I am glad it wasn't just me

[npphil]

You should not do an interview if you are drunk.

[ReX342]

@npphil Don't do an interview when you're drunk, if you're not Christopher Hitchens.

[british123able]

@npphil unless your hitchens..

[freiheitsalv]

@npphil I lol'd when I read this and then watched the video XD!!

[lmiddleman]

Terrible interviewer.

[alphacause]

If you spend too much time caring about what everyone thinks of you then you will never muster the courage to defend ideas. If you don't defend ideas then you lose the ability to protect people who are worth caring about. That is why Hitchens was so great.

[Zephyrbal]

Stop calling him Chris.

[OccamsView]

What a weird woman.

[villeppi]

@OccamsView Lawrence Krauss is a man...

[finchy633]

@villeppi Lawrence Krauss is indeed a man, but can you name me a woman?

[OccamsView]

@villeppi Thanks. So is Becky Anderson the weird intervewer I'm referring to.

[BlameRepublicans]

@OccamsView I'd tap that tho...

[OccamsView]

@BlameRepublicans yeeck!

[beaprod]

That awkward silence between the time the question has ended and when lawrence hears it...
