Hitch Vs. Sharpton -- God is NOT Great (yes/no/cancel?)

You know you're in for a raucous dialogue when the guy who wrote a book called "God Is Not Great" is the less controversial of the two speakers. "God Is Not Great" author Christopher Hitchens and the Rev. Al Sharpton face off in a debate about religion at the New York Public Library.

The evening made headlines because of Sharpton's biting comment about Mitt Romney, the one Mormon candidate in the presidential race (Sharpton said "… those that really believe in God will defeat him anyway.") You'll find Sharpton's comment at 00:27:38, but there's a lot more as well.

eew what a creepy old weirdo at 54:00. Sharpton's tired old arguments in favor of deism are begging to be just decimated but Hitchens strangely never takes the bait and instead usually gives much more circular, indirect (and I think less effective) arguments.

I've heard it's quite tiring to always be the smartest guy in the room. If someone spent an hour and a half intentionally misunderstanding everything you said, you'd look a bit weary by the end as well.
