Sharpton, Hitchens & Hardball

If you thought that it was hot on Hardball Plaza yesterday (we’re being nice and not showing screenshots of Chris Matthews’ sweat stains), just wait until Thursday.

From Hardball Briefing:

Coming up on Thursday, we’re back out in the heat with a smokin’ debate between Christopher Hitchens, journalist and author of “God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything,” and political activist Rev. Al Sharpton. The last Hitchens/Sharpton match-up made headlines in May when they dueled at the New York Public Library. Now they’re back for round two when Hitchens and Sharpton play Hardball on the Plaza. Don’t miss a full hour of fiery back and forth on religion, politics, Iraq and more. Want to get in on the action? Go to www.hardball.msnbc.com to submit your questions for Hitchen and Sharpton.
