I don´t speak english fluently, well for this case i cannot understand 100% of it, and less if it is british, ¿What does Hitchens says at the end about the nazis in the british camps?

[nyomythus]

@mankure Hitchens at the end is saying," In the second world war the British had a special camp for captured Nazi spys, and you were fired in that prison if you even raised a hand and threatended violence against them --- and this is a time when London was being bombed every single night ---(and concludes with)--- we barely got our trousers off we should pursue this another time.

O'reilly never had Hitchens back on. He knew he would've been assraped if they had a longer debate, especially on religion.

@nyomythus ill be honest, I'm not surprised at all that O'Rielly never invited Hitchens for a long debate because he knew he would lose and lose badly. He chose Richard Dawkins over Hitchens because Dawkins is far more associated with science which can be challenged (challenged on the basis that if science has not yet answered a question, then divinity is the only logical alternative WTF) whereas Hitch would bring on the slap thanks to his vast repertoire of all 'faith' based dogma.

lol O'Reilly is usually more controversial eg with Richard Dawkins, but he admits defeat and fear in a subtle sense as you can see in him with Hitchens as Hitchens would destroy him

'we've barely got out trousers off'

Hahaha :')

[herringla]

That subtle cheeky grin at the end is priceless.

I think I´d like an O´Reilly Factor segment, at least 10 min, about religion with Matt Dillahunty. He may be no Hitchens, but he sure knows what he talks about (unlike certain Fox hosts...)

@mankure

O'reilly basically said the president should be able to torture people when he sees fit. And Hitchens basically said the British didn't torture Nazi spies even when they were faced with annihilation at the hands of the Nazis.
