Why does D'Souza shout all the time? I think the answer is obvious.

[JasperNagtzaam]

Dinesh D'Souza is king of overboard hyperboles, false analogies and misrepresentation.

[cerickNY]

D'Souza is really bad at actually answering a question in context to his own benefit. It's getting kind of annoying.

@macroman52

Oh, well it's true that Dinesh does tend to equivocate a lot, but I think he just gets fired up a little. I have the same impulse when I get defensive and feel I'm not getting my point across.

[macroman52]

@meangreen4321 My point I think is that Dinesh shouts when he knows his argument is weak.

[meangreen4321]

@macroman52

So does Bart Ehrman... so what's your point?

[GonnabeUSNSEAL]

Dennet barrly has to say anything, Dinesh destroys his own arguments.

[dwheel39]

For all those critiquing Dinesh's "shouting", why aren't you critiquing Dennett's stammering? "uh uh uh...well..uh..our universe COULD be one of many ..uh..."'

Come on people, let's focus on the arguments of the debate.

Peace.

[EquinoxIV]

We cannot know anything for certain, so lets believe in the christian god. Yeah right!

[pyrocubed]

Heh, D'Souza invokes Godwin's Law and Pascal's Wager in the same debate... How can he still expect to be taken seriously?

[BigLundi]

@santisevenX ...Most educated people note that Dennett is possibly the most intelligent of all of the 4 horsemen.

ll admit he can put you to sleep sometimes, but the fact remains that he's...extreemy impressive in his works, and lectures.
