Hitchens: Clinton a good pick for Secretary of State?

[writersblock26]

Thank you for posting this, nyomythus.

[bademoxy]

obama's had way smarter and straighter to choose from than those clinton thieves.

maybe they somehow extorted him into appointing her.

[lepolemicist]

XXX/Sarah Palin 2012

Anyone stupid enough to vote for that should be made to work in the slave mines. If we don't have slave gold/coal/iron mines, we could always make 'em dig up good old rock.

This video is proof of evolution, that man is surely the missing link

[takestheveil]

lol I noticed that monkey mouth too - he (the anchor) looks likes a planet of the apes extra!

[1LTPETE]

Hillary Clinton was respected in the Pentagon????? Upon what authority does he make such a statement? Tolerated, perhaps, would be closer to the mark.

[infokemp]

Good comment good for you!

The Clintons are self serving repulsive filth, Clinton is just a mouth piece of China, Saudi Arabia and AIPAC.

Clinton is a anti-American scum bag how dare she even believe she could be president.

[TuNnL]

I'm glad that Obama appointed Clinton. It exposed the "change" campaign as a facade before his administration began. Hopefully America is waking up to the fact that Obama is just another puppet of the New World Order.

[AmericanLiberal4283]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Holder has admitted several times now that it was a mistake for him to pardon Marc Rich, has he not? Seems impossible to live anything down in Washington. You make an error and you're penalized for life. Politicians are after all still human. Anyone ever entertain the possiblity that Holder was bowing to pressure from the Clinton's?

Jesse Ventura and/or Ron Paul - 2012

[JeffBeck13]

are u an idiot?

look at conadeliza rice and her involvment.

Secretary of state is HUGE

[plimbuff]

lol musikmike1

JeffBeck13 just made you his bitch.

[musikmike1]

Yes, and under which president was a conadeliza rice a Secretary of State?

Ohhh, you mean Condoleezza Rice... it must get tiring lugging that big brain of yours around.

plimbuff: nice junior high comeback

[plimbuff]

LOL. You made a LOGIC mistake, and JeffBeck made a small SPELLING mistake.

I'd have to say LOGIC is far more important than spelling.

And that's why you got OWNED by JeffBeck.

[dan012345]

@plimbuff LOGICAL



[plimbuff]

@dan012345, your comment once again supports my point. lol

Was that intentional?

[dan012345]

@plimbuff Considering I wasn't a part of this argument I fail to see how I can "once again" support your point. Nor do I really see how I supported any stance at all. I was merely satirising your amiguous useage of capitilisation for emphasis.

[plimbuff]

@dan012345, don't play dumb with me pal. Nothing in my posts implied that we've ever spoken before. (Perhaps you should read it again if you still don't believe me.)

I merely meant that once again, my point had been supported. This time by you, (and perhaps unintentionally). If you can't remember what my point was, just scroll down. It's easy. (actually scroll up because it's the highest rated comment, lol)

My point was that grammatical errors aren't nearly as important as LOGICAL errors.

[dan012345]

@plimbuff "your comment once again..." This could be read as though my comment is supporting your argument for the second or third time etc... Though you didn't mean it that way, that was the way it read.

You still haven't explained how my comment supports that argument at all, I fail to see a single word can support any kind of position.

Nor have I gathered why I'm having this conversation when I haven't even followed it, but this is the internet.

[plimbuff]

@dan012345, you just said, "Nor have I gathered why I'm having this conversation when I haven't even followed it, but this is the internet."

LOL

I would think it's kind of important to keep track of WHY your having a conversation. haha

Perhaps you're participating in too many online conversations to keep track of them all.

Maybe you should cut back a little?

peace

[dan012345]

@plimbuff LOL I would think it's pretty important to realise NO conversation on youtube is ever going to be worth keeping track of.

peace.

[nyomythus]

@dan012345 ...I dunno ... I think Demosthenes would beg to differ.

[dan012345]

@nyomythus I think Socrates would to.

[plimbuff]

@dan012345, you just said, "NO conversation on youtube is ever going to be worth keeping track of."

I strongly disagree. I think that if your having a conversation with another human, whether on youtube or anything else for that matter, it is important to keep track of it.

It's unconscientious to waste other peoples time.

ntentious to waste other peoples time.

[dan012345]

@plimbuff Let's return to the original matter then. Since it was you who decided to pick up on a small and arbitrary addition at the end of my post and ignored the rest which was relevant to the discussion.

Perhaps if you'd have payed more attention you'd have realised I was asking how my single word response, meant to be nothing more than a satire of your unnecessary capitalisation, could support an argument. WELL done for derailing THE conversation, though I have been doing the same.

[plimbuff]

@dan012345, you're totally lost now. Let me know if you ever care to get back to the original point, which was weather or not grammatical errors are as important as logical errors.

I suspect that if you'd actually bothered to keep track of our conversation, you'd realize that we actually agree on this.

[dan012345]

@plimbuff *whether

[plimbuff]

@dan012345, lol

That was a trick, and you fell for it.

I'm done with you troll. You're 25, grow up.

The reason that trolls like you are more interested in screwing up conversations than contributing to them, is because you don't have the brain power to keep up.

[dan012345]

@plimbuff great trick, you're like the new houdini or something.

Henry Kissinger

[druha10304]

oh god

[kraksc]

He really is an intriguing individual, who consistantly lays waste to any talking points. Im sure many anchors cringe when they learn that he is to be a guest on their show.

[kingsman565]

"He really is an intriguing individual, who consistantly lays waste to any talking points."

He's like an unstoppable intellectual force of nature.

[herzogsbuick]

AMAZING

[belzondium]

having absolutely nothing to say about Hitchens' analysis & commentary = talking about his drinking habits.

[synanthony]

Hitchens sold out his conservative principles to appease his liberal atheist supporters...now he's mad because Obama (the inexperienced) is picking another inexperienced sec of state....all because he didn't like Palin.

[Olympion]

He's not and has never been a conservative, he's just pro-war, that's all. He's not even a neo-con, he's way too critical of Israel for that.

The only one who sold out was McCain, first by selling out his principles, and then by picking that absolute imbecile Palin as VP. Get a clue.

[xn117]

@Olympion Pro-war? No.... He is pro-liberation....

[nyomythus]

It would have been a shame if the country had not picked Obama.

[MasterWilhelm]

It's even more of a shame though that after we decidedly held Hillary out of being president, Obama would turn around and put her in the White House anyway, making her in the position to become president should Obama and Biden both become 'incapacitated'

This is nothing more than a large game of political chess, and Hillary is the Democrats' queen on a rampage.

[Matt7895]

I thought the Speaker became President if the President and VP were made incapacitated.

[mythicalhell]

@nyomythus It's a shame that they picked him!  If he wasn't black, there's NO WAY he would have been elected! However, if he didn't win Billery would have been president! Anyway you look at it we as a country are SCREWED! And NO, I'm not a conservative republican! I'm a moderate independent!

[Onetimerule]

Chris Hitchens needs to make an appointment with rehab before he carries on being a disappointment to his fans, friends and relatives.

[emuholic]

so a person who is a disappointment to someone must need some sort of rehab treatment? are you thick?

[robotwookie]

Not to seem rude but that is childish. I always enjoy Hitchens opinions....

[meiitbe]

I frankly think he is becoming more and more interesting and entertaining as time progresses. If this is partly attributed to alcohol, by all means - drink up.

[lombard34]

I agree with Hitchens. Hillary isn't qualified, not to mention the baggage. There is something appealing about the notion of a Team of Rivals, but I don't know about this particular choice. I do think that Obama will bring change, but I think he means change from the Bush years, not necessarily a total change from the Clinton years. Obama and Hillary did not really disagree on much, after all.

Ciao.

[uscstudent13]

He again and again....perhaps less than the concept of changed....introduce a concept of a "return to clinton years" and to "return to clinton tax policies". This shouldn't come as a surprise

[jonz23m]

disagreed on not much...except of foreign policy which makes his choice pretty odd to me.

[nyomythus]

Hillary's husband was the architect of the 1998 Iraq Liberation Act, and even with that it was irresponsible to vote against regime change, with what had just happened, it's useless to explain to some people but just showing where I stand.

[0613162k]

I strongly disagree with picking Hillary Clinton, but this guy argues on such petty political issuse it's pathetic.

The biggest issue is that she voted for the Iraq war & it sends the wrong message for someone who knew he had the mandate of "change" against the war in Iraq to then appoint someone who voted for it.

You can't even blame Hillary for this. This is Obaama's decession alone. Perhaps he did lack experience if change is restoring the ntire Clinton administration.

[jazzloverpr]

The biggest issue for you is not the biggest issue for hitchens and the rest of the united states. This goes double for someone who support the Irak war like hitchens. To hitchens Hillary's approval of the war aint worth mentioning. he more concerned about corruption scandals. You have to balance out whats more important; her support of the war or her acceptance of donations from communists and religious nutcases.
