Christopher Hitchens on Rev. Jerry Falwell and “God is not Great”

Christopher Hitchens lays it on the line that he thinks Rev. Jerry Falwell did more to disrupt the peace processes in the Middle East with his anti-Jewish sentiments (4:52):

He is then invited to Fox News to discuss his claims (9:45):

Christopher manages to talk over Hannity and Colmes (unusual indeed, given Hannity is a real master of interrupting) to reiterate that he doesn’t like Rev. Jerry Falwell and thinks he was a danger to society for his fundamentalist views.

Christopher happens to be the author of “God is not Great” which is his latest book about how he thinks religions are harming the world more than helping at this point in time, quite an interesting read.

    Ha! That is awesome! Usually they manage to interrupt or drown out their guests if they don’t agree with them, but Christopher really held them down. :)

    I think Christopher has talked down Hannity already in previous interviews but his impalacable ability to get his view across and not be distracted certainly helps. You can literally see Hannity almost frothing at the mouth and finger pointing and waving… what I’d like to see is Christopher vs Bill O’Reilly - I’d suspect it’d come to blows however.
