He covers the gamut from Holocaust Denial to Religion in this speech, which I consider his most brilliant piece of rhetoric to date.

Re: New Video: Christopher Hitchens on Hate Speech

didnt know you were a Hitch fan Augie. Canadian situation is pretty interesting wrt hate speech laws and HR tribunals, to the point that the Canadian press has pushed back against the bureaucrats. I would consider this one of his best speeches as well. Was lucky enough to see him speak in Toronto a couple years back though not on this topic (good thing he was perpetually eloquent).

And I should add that from a biographical standpoint this is him at the height of his powers.

Rip Hitch. Quite possibly the best debater of all time. If you aren't a fan of him, you should be.
