1. The Video: Bill O'Reilly Interviews Richard Dawkins

Two points:
1)o'Reilly has only a passing acquaintence with the truth; given that, however, I would think that the Jesuit training he recieved in secondary school would have served him better. I am still poking around the site, but I do agree with the NYT review that Dawkins has yet to take on the stronger theist arguments.

2) They are both wrong on Hitler. Hitler was a Roman Catholic, but by the time he was in Vienna, his belief system could be best described somewhere between deist and agnostic. He may have referred to "the Lord" in some speeches to religious audiences, but in his own journals and "Tischgesphrache," he referred to Providence, almost as if referring to a historical force.
