 Comrade Rakhmetov and Comrade Greywolf have already posted about the affair, but I think this audio stream deserves another visit: it's Hitch’s debate with Paul Edwards - the final, hilarious segment. Hitchens has probably hurt the feelings of many Christians, and this radio guy sounds like he's genuinely hurt by Hitch's onslaught. Ol’ Hitch was probably intoxicated (a bottle of red wine, my guess), in a gutsy way. Hitch is right in this exchange, but he still comes across like an asshole. The poor SOB Paul Edwards was just trying to make friends with Hitch, but our popinjay would have none of it. Don't miss this classic.
Anyway, I guess that's so much for Hitch's reach-out program to the religious community. "Leave me out of it...I won't put up with it. Up with which I won't put up!"
"Excuse me, you are my enemy...your preachments are evil, and you're an enemy of civilization."
That last line he actually said to the radio host. It's pretty awesome.
