Christopher Hitchens: How the new York times sets the political agenda 1 of 2

[BritishArrow]

Oh to have confidence like that!

Correcting date for video: Hitchens spoke to my Politics & Journalism Semester Class February 6, 2008 -- NOT 2009. --Terry Michael, director, Washington Center for Politics & Journalism terrymichaelDOTnet ("thoughts from a libertarian Democrat")

I believe libertarians, like me, saw libertarian sensibilities in Hitchens. We did not see a libertarian. And Reason editors like Nick Gillespie saw a great writer in Hitchens, if not an ideological fellow traveler.

[BritishArrow]

He was incredibly calm and self-assured, it pains me to use the past tense for him now.

Does Reason think that Hitchens is Libertardian?

[baigandine]

To be divisive leads to partisan gridlock, and the cynical belief that congressmen are just being political.

Great video, although it's pretty quiet.

When was the recording of this? please add it in the description if you will, thanks

That information is located in the gray box to the right of the video. It reads that Mr. Hitchens participated in this event on 2/6/2009.
