Christopher Hitchens on Noam Chomsky

PLEASE READ FOR EXPLANATION ON DISABLED COMMENTS

I disabled comments on this video, because I had left them since the video was first uploaded until 27 October 2010 when a total of 759 comments had been posted, by which time I no longer cared what people had to say on the subject, and my email was getting continually cluttered with youtube notifications.

If it bothers you, there are hundreds if not thousands of other videos of either Hitchens or Chomsky for you to debate on.
