Contrary to the reporting, Hitchens (as well as giving them a history lesson), thrashed Galloway about the head.
He certainly did. I watched the debate tonight, in spite of the effect it had on my blood pressure. What a disgusting spectacle. Hitchens debated, and made brilliant point after brilliant point, while Galloway sneered, guffawed, interrupted, and all but said, "Yeah? Well nyah nyah so's your mum" (to the idiotic applause of most of the audience). THAT is what passes for debate on the far Left.
And the so-called moderator should be ashamed of herself. I've rarely seen such bias. She had an obligation to keep Galloway from interrupting Hitchens continually, but her eyes practically lit up ever time Galloway broke in and started spewing. And her last question to Hitchens, about whether his popularity has increased, was an undisguised shot. (I have to say, Hitchens has a lot of courage.)
I almost wish I hadn't watched this. I know the Left today doesn't think, I know all they've got are slogans and extraordinarily big mouths, but to see their willful, gleeful ignorance in action was upsetting.
Galloway and the majority of that audience are incapable of thought and logic. Worse than animals. I don't know how you can ever get through to people like that.
