I'm going to have to concur with Percy. There is no link to the actual debate which is vitally necessary in order for us to critique it. All that we have to go by is the critique offered by two magazine articles which could easily be construed as biased or slanted in any direction.
If you can track down footage of the debate, or maybe even transcripts, only then will I be able to participate. Looking for footage of the debate, I did find this rather amusing though.

Richard Dawkins has more courage than I ever would have guessed for going on TV with that comedian.
Yeah, even if he actually agrees with you, its about as safe as coming on the show with Ali G. You're just going to be mocked no matter what you do or what position you hold. But then again, that's the whole point. The Colbert Report and Ali G are equal opportunity employers. They make fun of every one equally.
