Christopher Hitchens on Al Gore and Ronald Reagan - News Review Part 3 (1988)

[alabaster30]

What is wrong with Wladyslaw? Why can't he complete one single damn sentence? Compared to this guy, ANYONE would look like a genius!

[Pawlit360]

Oh, the guy was so proud of himself coming up with with that thinly veiled "Hitchens is a Castro loving commy" bit... absolutely deserved the monumental Hitchslap he got hit with.

And I love how Christopher attempted it. 4:50 - "Yeaah... [You sir came unarmed to the battle of wits and I'm gonna show you that now]"

[MishuTaste]

Wladyslaw needs a freakin' speech therapist. And so do I 'cause I can't pronounce his freakin' name!

[cott2696]

What is that pin on Hitch's jacket?

[harshlight7]

Asputteringfuckheadsayswhat?



[khanriza]

4:50 lol

[SatanPanda]

5:00 one of the most epic hitch moments ever

[lac3y1988]

I love the guy's facial expression at 02:45

[Monosaccaride]

hitchens opponent talks like an effin android , annoying stuttering

[cheesycheesy1000]

"...so you're remark is ignorant aswell as an attempt...at...a slur..." Epic Hitchslap

[pennydesouza]

@cheesycheesy1000 So elegantly handled. Hitch really lays the smackdown.

[Hypatiarhetoric]

"Probably can be seen through even by people who are going to be impressed by the other half of his argument . . . which is his firm belief that he comes from Tennesee."

[Hypatiarhetoric]

There are certain debates one can watch repeatedly long after the fact purely for the banter.

[bongoloid77]

Regan got in on the Chritian vote... God told him to Run... It just smells bad

[sixtiksix]

Right, Hitchens didn't meet with Castro out of principle.....LMFAO.....

[smutyhouse]

4.49 breathes in before the huge hitchslap

[fbaumans]

no more debates like that on tv, only crazy clowns screaming at each other

[MaxKrane]

'What Mr Hitchens doesn't understand' - You say that and you're already wrong.

[hugoegbert79]

4:50-Best Hitchslap ever.

[SheikahZeo]

Man I lol'd when he tried the Castro attack. Just totally juvenile.

[SheikahZeo]

@SheikahZeo And then I practically pissed myself at 'peace in our hemisphere'

[TheConciseStatement]

Can't win the presidency without the South? Doesn't that roughly translate into Republican victories *forever*? Which I'm pretty sure doesn't happen.

[nhprman]

Who is the sniveling, incompetent conservative? What a sad performance and pitiful defense of Reagan, too.

[tbnews2]

Yeah, John Lovitz definitely gets burned at 4:51

[QwidgyboMan]

@tbnews2

LMAO.

[rothery86]

Feeble was exactly the right way for Hitch to respond to that feeble attack.

[chainswede]

Hitchens is such a badass

[finchy633]

he got bitchslapped at 05:10

[TomValedro]

@finchy633 it began on debunking his comment.

[AxeHomeless]

@finchy633 Dude, its called "hitchslapped"

[cott2696]

@finchy633 I believe the term is 'Hitchslapped'.

[bapyou]

Wladyslaw's got some slippery balls on him, I'll say. To talk about Fidel Castro not contributing to "peace in our hemisphere" (~8:00) at a time when Ronald S. Reagan ('S' for senile) was funding death squads in El Salvador and Guatemala and destabilizing Nicaragua by any and all means to the tune of millions per week, is political spin at its slimiest, most obfuscatory and disingenuous. One thing I'll say for Wladyslaw: He does know on which side of the bread the butter is placed.
