Here's a video of a pretty intense debate between Bush apologist Christopher Hitchens and human pitbull George Galloway on C-SPAN. George Galloway calls Christopher Hitchens a court jester, calls Barbara Bush "Marie Antoinette". I actually thought Hitchens made some decent points, however he also made some very stupid statements about our troops learning valuable lessons in Iraq that they used in New Orleans, and things like that. I also thought Galloway was much better when he testified in front of the Senate Committee a while back. The sad thing is that Hitchens seems to be a rather smart person, yet for some reason he insists on defending so many of Bush's ridiculous policies.
It was interesting to see the Baruch College crowd go completely insane whenever Hitchens said something. Although some of what he said deserved to be booed at, that's kind of sad when people can't stand to let someone voice their opinion. Antiwar activists should persuade people with reason, not shout them down. When people watch C-SPAN and hear people swearing and making animal noises, they aren't going to convince anyone that this war is a bad idea.
