[Spade]

Is there any question that Hitchens won?

 

[Cannuck]

Hitchens got his ass handed to him on this night IMO. His failure was that he used extremes make his point. That will ultimately fail every time.

 

[Dexter Sinister]

But Blair was essentially arguing that the people who go to extremes in the name of religion don't count. Religion doesn't get off the hook that way either.

 

[CUBert]

how did the audience not kill themselves after listening to that old guy's long introduction

 

[Skatchie]

Blair's a fool. He's a clown. How was that religion when he unjustly and immorally helped to slaughter millions of Iraqis with his blind support of the lies and propaganda that made that war happen. Who's he to talk about the extremists either, he is an insider run by the catholic church. There is no more extreme than that.

 

[Spade]

Blair is a consummate apologist for his own actions.
