Wow--way to kick a guy while he's down, Rabbi. I would want to debate my opponent when he's at his fighting best--otherwise, why even do it? Instead, Rabbi Shmuley (I love Jewish names... they're like names for stuffed animals) wants to debate a hairless, cancerous, chemo-destroyed shell of a Hitch. At least take on Dawkins, or Fry, or any one of dozens of other world-reknowned atheists. Let Hitch rest, and FSM willing, recuperate.
An oldie but a goodie here. Boteach gets Hitch-slapped for an hour and a half: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnMYL8sF7bQ
Having seen several of his talks, I don't understand why anyone is impressed with this guy.
What he does cannot be called 'debating'; a better term may be 'dodging'.
I totally agree. His arguments, as well as his voice, are like fingernails on a chalkboard. He is one of the most irritating people I have ever listened to. Most of his arguments, and his style, remind me of primary school playground fights.
I agree. I put up the original link, not because I like this guy at all, but just because I thought a few people on this sub-reddit would be interested in the debate.
He always provides a moving target and dances around any actual beliefs. Watching someone debate him is like watching someone box jello.
That guy is really rational, and when I say this, I am sure I speak for a lot of people in this sub-reddit, that I really can't wait for this debate.
