I read the entire transcript, and I don't see the ass-kicking that Dwayne indicated. I wonder if I might not have had a different opinion, had I been present at the debate. I know what an affable character Zizek can be. Most of what was said was old-hat, a reiteration of old ideas. If anything, I thought BHL had Zizek on the ropes (slightly) towards the end of the debate (if it can be called a debate).
Zizek's English is better than BHL's. Enfin de compte, no ass kicking.
