I agree with Apple that it was a very short interview but it was an excellent plug for Dawkins book “The God Delusion”
For those what missed the interview here it is from Dawkin’s site:

O’Reilly is a dickhead (Aussie term, possibly international term, for “idiot”) Didn’t I say he would raise the spectre of Hitler Stalin Communism, and the like. How pathetic are these xians that they can’t come up with a good foil for our atheist facts & truths.
“Off Topic”. Tomorrow, 4/25, is veterans day down under for us Aussies and Kiwi’s/ Anzac Day. Like your Veterans Day.(?) Tribute to our secular societies, we treat this as our most sacred holiday (sorry for the terms) and all shops close – even liquor stores damn it – unlike Good (Bad) Friday and Xmas Day when no-one cares and opens anyway. We have a USN destroyer in our city (Brisbane) and they interviewed the skipper on TV and he is attending a Dawn Service and 70 of her crew (her the ship I mean) are marching in our parades. They then go on to northern Aus to mark the battle of the Coral Sea ceremonies. Now that’s a secular activity !!
HeatheNZ, thanks for the link.
Everyone should check the note that James McDonald wrote to O’Reilly (in the comments to the link that HeatheNZ provided).
James socked it to him but I’m afraid ‘a man convinced by force, remains yet unconvinced’ (apologies to whoever wrote that)
O’Really ? has a wide audience and he’s not about to destroy that by taking on “opines” that show his viewers to be dickheads.

“isn’t that Epimenides paradox”
I don’t know. Just good clean fun.
what, this is one of the reasons I don’t have a lot of friends. Mentioning Epimenides usually has people looking at me like I’m out of my mind. I don’t think they’re far off

Hey, I love tidbits like that. Thanks! Epimenides – wow, what a cool little factoid.
Once, I rented a room from these folks, we’re all watching Jeopardy, Trebec asks who wrote ‘Oedipus Rex’. None of the 3 contestants knew. I found myself shouting “Sophocles! Sophocles! Sheesh, where do they GET these people?”
Got some odd looks on that 1, lemmee tell ya.

Maybe they thought you said epididymis paradox.
I’m really frustrated that Dawkins let O’Lielly slip that old “Hitler was an Atheist’ in there, when in fact, he was anything but. All anyone has to do is read Mein Kampf and do a little bit of research and find that Hitler was a Catholic, and a devout one at that.
Damn, why did he let that slide.
