Hitchens was an antecedent to Harris as an anti-theist.
Otherwise, I think they have very little in common.
Harris values being 'sterile' in analysis, where Hitchens would prefer the opposite.
Harris argues with empirical data & very charitable premises; Hitchens would prefer a more visceral debate.
Imagine Harris responding as Hitchens did:
Preacher "I do not consider you an enemy"
Hitchens "You don't know an enemy when you see one"
