  • Is Hitchens in hock to the right wing?

    13 cars, 7 houses. That's not irrelevant. A campaign manager who gets paid 30,000 a month by Fannie Mae. That's not irrelevant. The onset of dementia. That's not irrelevant. Christopher Hitchens: he's irrelevant. No, he's small potatoes. All of you who read this? You can afford to ignore anything he says. He's a long lost cause who's desperately ...

  • Why is Hitchens so vapid and gutless?

    Once, Christopher Hitchens had some backbone. Now, he's a eunuch who eats John mcCain's leftovers and seems to think it tastes good. What has happened to Hitchens? Is it alcoholism? Senility? Does he need Viagra?

  • Why is Hitchens so Vapid, Gutless, and Hestitant?

    Mr. Hitchens, Really. I’ve been reading your little essays for years and I can’t recall a single sentence that you’ve written.

  • The Great Game -- Anglo Amero Brits and Kamchatka!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waziristan Honestly, I do not know why it is, that I both love to read Christopher Hitchens every week, and disagree with his every point almost without exception. Maybe it is his ''the sun never sets on the British Empire'' world girdling perapatetic meanderings around the World Map of Current Events and political ...

  • Excuse me, Chris, but you are badly disinformed

    1. It is simply not true: from its very beginning in 1992 Russia expressed strongest possible interest in Ossetian and Abkhazian micronationalism up to sending arms and volunteers to fight on Ossetian and Abkhazian sides in the Georgian civil war of 1992. 2. This is simply not true either. Kosovo was a ''Socialist Autonomous Province within the ...

  • Another question for creationists

    I've been wondering lately if supporters of creationism and a literal interpretation of the Christian bible can believe that intelligent (there's that word again!) life might exist in other parts of the universe. If so, did they get the same deal from God as humans on earth did? You know, original sin...a redeeemer...and possible eternal salvation ...

  • The 3 responses a creationist has to this type of evidence

    Christopher - I recall you saying in a debate that when you are against a creationist, you find it best to ''highlight and underline'' this point rather then argue it. I have occasionally accepted the putrid distinction of arguing (not 'debating') the evolution case in front of creationist audiences (at the grandiloquent Liberty University) and I ...

  • Where do eyes Come from?

    The philosopher John Gray is a marvelous critic of linear progress; he argues in his book Straw Dogs that progressive or redemptive views of history is partly the wish of christian mind. Even in the post-christian or secular society this is the case. He also notes in the same book that the very same light sensitve chemicals found in human eyes ...

  • Why, Hitch, why?

    I'll never understand, and will never stop mourning, Hitch's transformation into a bellicose war monger. What I don't understand is why, just because he despises Islamic fundamentalists, or Islamo-fascists, or whatever you wish to call them, he therefore has to back a misguided, mishandled, military debacle born of a series of lies? I hate them ...

  • Christopher Hitchens' Bad Faith

    Christopher Hitchens is notorious for the speed with which he finishes copy, and the evidence for this facility is apparent in the shoddiness of his argumentation. 1) Hitchens analysis is backwards. We did not go into Iraq to overthrow Al Qaida, we went to liberate Iraqis from a brutal dictator. Al Qaida's attempts to destabilize Iraq can't be ...
