Christopher Hitchens makes his Bloggingheads debut in an entertaining, ego-intensive debate with Eric Alterman.

At the onset, Alterman explains that he was asked to choose a topic for the affair and decided upon: "Why Christopher has been wrong about virtually everything he's said and done since he became a conservative."

Hitchens responds, "Though It's a high price to pay, since the subject is how wrong I am, at least the subject is me, so that's something I guess."

The two discuss the Iraq war, liberalism, and Hitchens' support for Ralph Nader in 2000.

  • "Look, these are debate points..."

    What a knob.

  • "No, criticizing Islam is not racist. But let's get serious: most people who use words like "islamofascist" hate MUSLIMS, not just Islam."

    This might come as a shock to you, but islam isn't a race, even if you demanded all muslims exterminated it wouldn't make you a racist, because it isn't a "race" you hate. Just before making an intensely ignorant comment you said to the guy "i suspect i know more about islam than you do".

  • @Territomauvais That's because Chomsky is smart and Hitchens is a troll.

  • Alterman is a douchebag. He was part of the group of butthurt Democrats who absolutely HATED Nader after he ran in 2000. Disgusting.

  • Thank you for posting this, IReupload.

  • @KaelKara2 Me, too.

  • Hitchens made me change my mind about the war in iraq

  • Alterman is a whinny little boy

  • @IReupload Did anyone record that one!?!?! I'd give my left testicle to hear/see that one!!!

  • @Jabbowhaa That's what I'm wondering, too.

  • @KaelKara2 Chomsky said he would never debate Hitchens on the Iraq War :(

    Shame.

  • Alterman is just not ready yet, it's really sad... he probably would be a better debater if he wasn't wishing he had a British accent.
