Кристофер Хитчинс после дебатов о свободе слова и ненависти

Выступление после дебатов в Университете Торонто известного журналиста Кристофера Хитчинса по проблемам свободы слова. The controversy arising from the Danish Mohammed cartoons has been only one instance of a recent rise in concern over freedom of speech and hate speech in the western world. Our debaters and guest speaker will discuss whether or not speech can be banned on the grounds of hate. Hitchens makes a brilliant historical case for the defense of free speech and the importance of open, honest discourse. Following a formal debate among four students, Hitchens explains why it is an intellectual duty to defend the right of people we may disgree with. Even revisionists like David Irving has a right not be imprisoned in Austria for his views about the Holocaust.
