He should have answered the question, but at least he was man enough to protect the kid from the cop.

love hitch! don't agree with him here though
-
@lamborger Youe wrong, and here's why...
The discussion Hitch was having was about relig. It wasnt an open mike night where any moron can stumble in and ask anyquestion on any topic. The greasy hippy tried to hijack a discussion, take it ti a moronic kookspiracy that no one gives a shit about, and Hitch fuxed him off for wasting everyones time in addition to being a moron.
Call a sports talk show, demand to discuss pie crust recipe's, they are going to hang up on you. Just the way it is.

@lamborger 911 Truthers are no better than Creationists or Moon-landing skeptics. You might think its refined to give them time on a public platform, but I think most semi educated people aren't wrong to have expectations of those who stand up in question time.
Ironic that you choose to compare Hitchens to a man that chose to avoid public debate over this exact subject. Though not to worry, Noam will instead meticulously answer questions from the likes of this guy? What a champion.

@MostlyReading Oh yes, I guess I had you in mind when I wrote my comment

BIG WOW FROM A SMALL MIND

read neatzsches view of the "Will to power" of the ultra-moral man, and you will find som clues to hitchens personality. And here speaks someone who doesn't just watched youtube-Hitchens but has also read a lot of his books, until i realized who hitchens was. He is charismatic, but that has nothing to say.

My Favourite Hitchens Momentby Coughlan00070,556 views
People always try to buffet Christopher Hitchens character by saying how "arrogent" he could be. But you can see here and later on at the end of this talk how he (Hitch) repeatedly tells the cops to get lost, and defends the mindless idiots right to free speech while simultaneously choosing not to respond himself and to move on.
Just a small example of his highly principled character.

Disappointing. Especially considering the way Chomsky handles the same concern in a related video.
Hitchens: I will insult you and ignore you because I know you are wrong.
Chomsky: You're wrong and here's why. . .
