Those were great quotes! Anti-intellectual in bias, but funny as shit. The funny thing is that although I appreciate Sam's thinking, I find him completely humorless. He would look like a stone in a debate with this guy.
I found parts of _Letter to a Christian Nation_ hilarious. In fact as I read it out loud to my wife, she would break out laughing every now and then. If you watch the lecture I posted a link to, the humor comes out a couple of times and the audience laughs along.
Sullivan OTOH I found almost unlistenable and humourless; he would often get caught up in emotional tirades or tizzies (I assume we're talking about the same guy with HIV who's appeared several times on Bill Maher). I do like some of what he says. I suspect the only reason he's so popular is because he causes a similar reaction in others as well. I get the same 'nails on a chalk board feeling' listening to Bill O'Reilly or his (very different) ilk.
Have you seen him on Bill Maher?
