Christopher Hitchens talks Obama, Hillary, Election 2008 [2]

[grubelsucht]

This interviewer does not try to overwhelm his guest's opinions with his own and draws some very good points out of Hitchens.

[hunterthompsonfear]

Yeh Tony Jones is one of the best I've seen.

[cyrilalbert]

wat happens 2 his face @ 3:45... he looks liked devil haha

[kayfabepro]

It was an act of God.

[PrinceJason]

its a glitch in video.

[patrick112590]

@cyrilalbert His true identity as Satan was revealed. :P

[Domzdream]

Check his hair, ha ha.

I think it's great, either way. It wouold be great for women to have the 1st female president, and for black people to have the 1st black president. It's time to shed constrains of sex types or skin tones. Lets move on.

[fomastephanovitch]

Yeah, but the annoying thing is that so many of us had already got there a long time ago

[BionicDance]

That interviewer is a chowderhead...

...you don't kill zombies with wooden stakes, and a silver bullet won't help unless you hit her in the head with it. ;)

[thesunofjuda]

5stars just because it's hitchens?

this is hate speech to the fullest

i completely disagree with this propaganda he is spitting

[richter75]

So what argument is far fetched?

[aarondembe]

3:45 Hitchens temporarily slips halfway back into his home dimension... Dimension X. He keeps it together, though.

[shimboos]

"Hillary Clinton is a political zombie who could only be stopped by a silver bullet or a stake through the heart" ABSOLUTE GOLD!

[niginit]

the reason hitchens cares so much is because he has a bleeding heart for his fellows in europe and why shoudln't he but he has made the mistake of coming to america and trying to lie to the intelligent minority about which religion is more dangerous.

I mean look at it,the middle-east is way the fuck over the pond!who cares if people surrounding a backwards, fucked up, 3rd world, desert country get killed, natural selection in my view.

i guess chris does... but why should we care.

[truestefq]

9/11

[niginit]

if you believe it was done by muslims, if you believe WMD's are in iraq still like mr. hitchens does. Do you eat every lie that bush sells you??

911 was obviously cooked up by our government and if not then they allowed it to happen. don't argue, you obviously don't know enough especially because you just said 9/11 is a reason why we should care. like i said 3k dead on 911 and millions dead by christians. not to mention they are ignorant beyond reason and own the "political system".

[ADDavos]

argh, fuck!

[madmolecule65]

codswallop.This was done by Jews who wanted to buy the land and build a temple to Mammon.

[truestefq]

Sure, nevermind, please go back to your room and take your medications.

[niginit]

hitchens is so right on religion but so wrong on which is the worse religion.... a few thousand dead by islam but millions throughout history have been masacred in the name of christianity(the champion of religions). i would take dumb camelfuckers in iraq over the crazies amongst me in the US who have their finger on the button,their finger in the oil and their finger in my wallet!

western religion is by far much worse,sure islamists are retarded but they are far fewer and far dumber.

[madmolecule65]

No truer words have I seen on you tube. I am not a Muslim , (was born a Catholic) and I cannot believe the stupendous ignorance that permeates intellectual debate in your country. Well done. !

[madmolecule65]

Come to Australia. The land of free unadultrated TV News. This interview is on a government owned station. You guys in the USA need to get ABC. Your journalist stink! They are biased, opinionated tossers' who think their viewers are a bunch of idiots , who can even have an election stolen from right under their noses. Come on down under! ( once you have elected a President who does'nt get paid by special interest groups to melt the solar ice caps )

[memblor]

the ABC is full of leftists. If you can't see that there's a problem.

lol. 'election stolen from right under their noses' and 'melting ice caps, Bush did it!'...

You're a devout ABC watcher for sure :)

[madmolecule65]

Leftist!I beg your pardon Sir? Which part of that interview indicated to the viewer that Tony Jones was leftist. Unlike your TV stations where the agenda is obvious (more often right wing & biased towards there preferred candidate), this was a candid , straight forward interview. Yes, Bush is responsible for ice melt and it would re-affirm global opinion on the American voter intellect should the idiocy of electing yet another President whose policies will melt more of the ice cap;is elected.

[memblor]

you have some comprehension problems. I didn't say anything about bias in this interview. There is none.

I was talking about the ABC in general.

Excuse me? My TV station? I'm Australian.

Humans aren't responsible for the melting of ice caps. Quite amusing but more depressing that you want to pin it on Bush specifically. Mother nature is in change of that with the help of Mr Sun.

[madmolecule65]

You probably watch channel 9 ! Mother nature is a whore if she is melting the ice caps with Mr Sun. This debate is going no where. I sighted this interview as proof that the ABC was not leftist, and because I disproved you ; you changed tack. A+ for effort.

[memblor]

You cite one episode of a news program as PROOF of the lack of bias of the ENTIRE NETWORK? Are you really that stupid? Thankyou for embarassing yourself so thoroughly.

Try to understand. This program is not biased. However, the ABC IN GENERAL is biased heavily in favour of the left. Find one sensible person who disagrees with that. It is indisputable.

You disproved nothing. Get a clue.

[madmolecule65]

Is there any purpose entering a debate with someone who believes that the Sun with the help of Mother Nature is the cause of Ice Melt at the Poles? Yes in parochial, provincial Australia most sensible people, a majority of who felt that no injustice was done to the aborigines and that an apology was unwarranted would think the ABC is left leaning. When I compare the Ultra right wing and off right bent of US channels , give me the bloody ABC any day.

[memblor]

funny stuff...the left dominates the airwaves in the US as well.

And it is ridiculous for modern day Australians to apologize to people THEY performed no trespass against. Of course you live in the land of symbolism and make believe so would gobble such a farcical gesture up greedily.

[Orlan54]

Oh boy, another one who feels his nation's media is "unbiased." (Sigh)

[Moionfire]

The US has government owned/paid televison. It is called PBS and we also have NPR and

c-span....

[polyzygote]

all the above are mostly corporate sponsored

[Moionfire]

c-span is not. And they are just(except for PBS) as objective if not more...

[fathead8489]

I don't understand why Hitchen's doesn't like Obama. Anyone who is able to read between the lines, and read his book can tell that Obama is an atheist. You to act like a Christian to have any chance at running for office in the US. I don't like it's just the way it is.

[memblor]

Let me get this straight. You figure that Obama is actually an atheist so that therefore Hitchens, who is also an atheist, should automatically support Obama?

Do you think there might be a few more things to consider when evaluating a presidential candidate then their religous convictions?

[fathead8489]

No but you would figure he would give him some points for it.

[GTS4tw]

Your username is apt.

[fathead8489]

You're a 9/11 truther. No one cares what your opinion is.

[GTS4tw]

No I prefer lies about 9/11. Thats a retarded statement. I believe that questions are good, no more, no less.

[NickandThaisy]

I have little doubt that McCain is also an atheist.

[jhohcable]

After what they did to McCain in Vietnam I don't see how he could believe in any god.

[writersblock26]

@NickandThaisy Eh, I have to disagree with you. While I'm sure John McCain doesn't embrace all of the tenants of his adopted Baptist church, he does seem to come across as at least somewhat devout. If he really had no religious inkling, he kind of made an odd choice in joining the Republican Party. Of course, there are both religious and non-religious politicans within the Republican Party, but I think it would have been easier for him to have professed no religion if he ran as a Democrat.

[writersblock26]

@NickandThaisy Eh, I have to disagree with you. While I'm sure John McCain doesn't observe all the prescriptions of his adopted Baptist church, he comes across as at least somewhat devout. If he really had no religious inkling, he kind of made an odd choice in joining the Republican Party. Of course, there are both religious and non-religious politicans within the Republican Party, but I think it would've been less awkward for him to have professed no religion if he had ran as a Democrat.

[cizzio1]

hey the hitch on aussie tv!! brilliant!

[metallicism]

he's been on lateline hundreds of times lol

[cizzio1]

really haha damn it. The only time i ever watch the abc is when chaser is on!

[tbonealex]

Interesting that Hitchens wouldn't make a prediction about who would win. Not long ago, on Dennis Prager's show he predicted that Hillary would win the whole thing. Perhaps he's changed his mind.

[nyomythus]

Thank goodness for Hitchens' crystal clarity!

[baresolid]

Thank you for the upload. Yet more sense from Christopher Hitchens.
