Christopher Hitchens is the worst kind of racist and xenophobe - the kind who refuses to believe himself capable of such by virtue of his obvious intellectual superiority to all those ridiculous, loud-mouthed, militant, over-reaching darkies.

He almost makes me wish I wasn't a masochist, because he so clearly wants a punch in the nose. Sorry, Hitch. I just can't do it. On one level the calculated puffery of your lackwit ramblings really does call to me, and I could almost oblige you with a violent reaction. But then the smallness of your, um, "argument" shows through so clearly and any desire I might have felt instantly fades away. I can only pity you, which just doesn't lead to a strong desire to punish. You poor, poor, sad little man.

... hmmm. It just occurred to me that maybe you're a masochist, too. If so, I'd like to point out that you're doing it wrong.
