Christopher Hitchens on Anna Nicole Smith

[tigersforchrist]

Only a REAL FOOL would claim there is no God! Man creates awesome skyscrapers, fake hearts, tunnels, vehicles etc.. If we are very imperfect then what more can God create THE UNIVERSE! You must accept Jesus Christ as your Savior to receive eternal rest in heaven! Simple! John 3:16 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him! Repent & accept Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ or HELL?!? Visit cbn. com

Why do I need T-Snore when I got T-Rex?

[Charmolution]

Is she still dead?

[MaxamillianArturo]

Well, now you are dead you dumb bitch? What have you to say about that?

[Jinglepify]

@MaxamillianArturo dude please understand. whew. it's like saying learn spanish in 5 seconds. never mind. small mind

[MaxamillianArturo]

@Jinglepify My mind may be small, but it is still larger than Mr. Hitchens' as he is now kaput.

[cmomofilm]

@MaxamillianArturo He's still smarter than you.

[MaxamillianArturo]

@cmomofilm Well if he is so smart how come he is dead?

[manthasagittarius1]

@MaxamillianArturo Oh, you haven't got the sense of a goose. That's exactly the point: even dead he's smarter than you.

[MaxamillianArturo]

@manthasagittarius1 Well, that was actually a Homer Simpson quote but whatever.

[beeroosterm]

@MaxamillianArturo I would argue that Hitchens' mind - that which was committed to various media - lives on in perpetuity, thereby destroying your argument.

[Mika151]

@cnestudy1 yalll yall yall

[XmarkedSpot]

@amojak

If you die healthy you're still dead.

[amojak]

@XmarkedSpot indeed, if your going to burn that candle then burn it bright enough for people to see and remember after your gone. nobody remembers a dim, boring pilot light.

[PorkFrog]

@914light < dis nigguh be gettin his troll on

do not throw him no biscuits

[914light]

@PorkFrog ...go back to jacking off to your hitchens videos ..weirdo !

[amojak]

i like the way the term "filthy heathen racist pig" reveals so much about the author.

[914light]

@amojak ..I,m sure filthy heathen racist pig looks familiar to you since you worship one..like your lord god hitchens

[iliveon]

@914light yep Hitchens died, and 3 days later rose again. I got my information from some frantic women peasants and now I will put it in book form, and then get 3 other writers to copy mines and add some details in each one

[singfarm]

@amojak Yes if he was a Christian, he would just turn the other cheek. He is clearly a fascist.

[iliveon]

@singfarm cool story so jesus rose you say?

[DanMichaelSoul]

@914light

Excuse me but what the fuck are you talking about? I said i DISAGREED WITH HIM on things(ie iraq war). You are so fucking pretentious, thinking you know everything about everything, when you cannot even comprehend what i said. I told you to stop calling words like "rasict" and "bigot" WITHOUT PROVIDING AN EXAMPLE! It's seems your education is lacking. Idiot.

[WKRPinCINN]

God bless Christopher Hitchens

[sqmuth]

That is a PRICELESS goddamn clip. (esp. with the Tim Russert ...uh ...er. ticker.)

[TheSwineofGod]

he says, fat slut dies and then, almost at that same moment, at the bottom of the screen it says, Tim Russert dies of heart attack...

[MpowerdAPE]

im going to miss this man.

[videogamenostalgia]

@cnestudy1 Using the term 'yall' is not a particularly effective indicator of intelligence.

[philanvil]

What was she if she wasnt a fat slut ? 

[ohujaly]

unnecessary rudnes i forgive that gey bastard becouse he is going to die shortly in pain - u se? unnecessary rudnes

[kickmeout1]

@ohujaly hitchens is already dead you fucking fail whale

[ohujaly]

@kickmeout1 i dont giva a fuck about that fat bastard tv whore i just hope he choked with his blood for 3 hours before he died

[XmarkedSpot]

@ohujaly

that's for christian values, how can you even bear to look into a mirror without puking?

[TheMagnatar]

@ohujaly gey, becouse, rudnes, what language are these words from. He is already dead ya dope

[Naturalhit]

Hitchens, self-indulgent asshole!!!

[KayleRJEastcott]

@cnestudy1 In fact, he was also a strong defendant against homophobia thus he supported the "dick riders" as well.

[scepticVseptic]

Is drunkeness witty and amusing? Seems Hitchens can be deluded too

[benmols]

@cnestudy1 Best comment on a Hitchens video EVER.

[HybridEnergy]

He didn't call her a fat slut, he said that the cable tv station might as well have. There is a big difference here.

[nordhorny]

@rashaan6 " think that is a little bit hypocritical.. "fat slut"? c'mon.. Christopher hitchens is fatter then anna nicole smith and probably in his life was just as permiscuous.. I can't side with hitchens on this one.. Totally low down.."

- I think you should listen to the clip again, but this time allow the words he speaks to register in your head, that way, together with the inference you will hopefully infer from my intervention, you will understand why you comment is irrelevant.

[rpsmith014]

@lightandbeautiful No, non-religious people don't know this.  Nice try though.

[jaybickford79]

Hitchens, in his turn, has not been shy about poking fun at his own weight and promiscuity. He will own up to being a fat slut in his own time; however, one who saught to serve a purpose other than being admired and fawned over.

[ForTheDefence80]

@rashaan6 wrote, "I think that is a little bit hypocritical.. "fat slut"? c'mon.. Christopher hitchens is fatter then anna nicole smith and probably in his life was just as permiscuous.. I can't side with hitchens on this one.. Totally low down.."

Wrong.

Hitchens, through hard work, is widely considered one of the most influential intellectuals/writers in the "western" world.

Anna Nicole Smith was a pathetic drug-addicted...etc.

"Fat whore" succinctly defines her achievements and relevance.

[ForTheDefence80]

2 of 2

By that Hitchens is asserting that in the ultimate scheme Anna Nicole Smith amounted to nothing more than a fat slut yet, despite her utter irrelevance to anything that genuinely matters, the cable channels opted to run wild with the coverage (bumping everything else) because going 100% with the death of the "fat slut" would (and did) result in better ratings.

By reducing Smith to "fat slut," Hitchens' indictment of cable TV channels' priorities is made that much stronger.

[zytigon]

Hitchens, ' God is not great' is one of my favourite books. For similar great thoughts try Dan Barker, John W. Loftus, Robert M Price, Valerie Tarico, Victor Stenger, Bart Ehrman, Ken Humphreys, Richard Carrier, Ken Pulliam, Keith Parsons, Gary Greenberg, Robert Ingersoll, Thomas Paine, Mark Twain, Earl Doherty, Israel Finkelstein, Daniel Dennett, C Dennis Mckinsey

[NotAG4yName]

guys do you not get it? he wasnt insulting her... he said what it didnt say was"fat slut dies" but it might as well have from the way they were broadcastig it...he was slamming cable TV and the incompetence of media outlets more then anything

[DocBrewster]

@NotAG4yName more THAN not more THEN. And while im at it 0 its WORST not WORSE! Jesus!

[UNGVEN]

@NotAG4yName "he was slamming cable TV and the incompetence of media outlets more then anything" Agree with that 100%, but I gotta say I think he's ALSO insulting A-N-Smith as "un-newsworthy". When he was asked "Do you want to come and talk about A-N-Smith anyway?" his response isn't: "Yeah-cos there's a point to be made about the way it was covered" like he did with....say....J.Falwell, Mother Teresa etc. He's like "Hm, er, free dinner, thanks" which is SOOOO what I'd do BTW

[MrDaziam]

@UNGVEN He never wanted to give them the time of day on ANY subject. He never said no to talking about anna because she was un-newsworthy. You adding that line in does not make it true.

[patrick112590]

@NotAG4yName Except she was a fat slut so if he had been saying that, all he would have been doing was telling the truth.

[Apathyist]

@rashaan6

That's not really disagreeing! You simply provided a potential physiological origin for my argument.

One thing I will say, the term "manifestation" suggests religious interference with innate human behaviors is a natural or random occurance, which I don't agree with. Religion and the religious force their version of morality on those around them quite intentionally.

[lunhil12]

How much fun would it be to have a few drinks and chat with Mr. Hitchens, love the guy.

[Apathyist]

Little bit hypocritical. "Fat slut dies". Where do we get our concept of female sexual morality from? Religion. I think it's a shame that someone as quick and witty as HItchens is still susceptible to the inisidious influence of religious bigotry.

Or maybe it proves his most famous point even more, that the poison of religion can't be avoided by anyone as long as it exists and is taken seriously.

[alexlodda]

@Apathyist THIS.

[mehico33]

@Apathyist .............sure thing.

[Vire70]

@cnestudy1

...you make yourself sound like a hick saying "yall" every comment.

[TheMatthewfortuna]

The only thing Anna Nicole Smith could do that would be more entertaining to me than watching Christopher Hitchens debate is to die on camera.

[MultiJacob17]

@cnestudy1 tru dat,homie.

[BelfastAtheist]

@cnestudy1

I'm only really repeating what's already been said here, but who knows..if it's said enough times, maybe the message will actually sink in and you'll stop leaving such fatuous comments. Firstly, I have no idea what relevance Dawkins and Harris hold to your comment.

It just sounds like that you're trying to 'shame' all Atheists, by leaving a fairly mundane message about Hitchens insulting a rather vile woman who deserved it and then randomly bringing in Dawkins/Harris with no reason

[inswoon]

@cnestudy1 It is always the ignorant who compress an entire population of individuals into a generalised whole--usually the less-prominent minority. Schism your vulgar and vacant wit, but keep the premise and apparent contention and you have a male stereotyping four advocates of secularism - you make no sense and I hope to god you are doing this for entertainment and your current and legitimate views are greatly and intellectually superior...

[MultiJacob17]

@inswoon Doesn't change the fact that Anna Nicole did die.She was carrying some excess baggage around the hips and tummy at the time.She was also a drug addict.And I wouldn't call her a slut she was more of a whore.Hitchens called 'a' woman a fat slut not 'all' women fat sluts.If your going to hate you might as well get your facts straight.I hope thats clarified the topic some what for you.

[inswoon]

@MultiJacob17 Whore and slut are essentially the same word - don't argue semantics; this is YouTube.

[grobo11]

@cnestudy1 Sure, I do, but so what? I disagree with Hitchens on many subject matters such as politics, it's just that I agree with everything he says about religion because it's true just like I agree with Richard Dawkins. I don't do it blindly, what do you take me for? Some sort of theist? (Of course I am not suggesting that the two are in any way divine) It's just that I always look at the points they make about religion and nearly 100% of the time I agree with them.

[grobo11]

@cnestudy1 Classy, imply that people who agree with Atheist's are gay. Wow, you certainly embarrassed me, what and insult insinuating that I'm a homosexual. Oh wait, being called gay isn't an insult because there's nothing wrong with it. Also Hitchens never said that out of personal disdain for that person but as a comical paraphrase of the actual headline, weren't you paying attention fool?

[reafdaw01]

@cnestudy1 Yes that is true. We all want to have sex with them, that's why we like them. What are you? Some kind of genius?

[TheDreamMechanic]

Speaking of which, when is THIS fat slut going to die?  Hitchens, I mean. The whore. The propagandist. The sensationalist. That one.

[Chrisbrown762]

Cold blooded but he's right

[4LK0H0L1K]

@cnestudy1 Ummm.....She fucked a geriatric.....shes a slut. Im a guy, and not only is Hitchens right about her, but Id gladly fuck him till he bled from his eyes. You will respect his genuis, Goddamnit.

[phildirt3]

whos the other fat slut

[Somai82]

The 'fat slut's' death got more coverage than the JFK assassination. And they can't figure out why the politicians and corporations are laughing their asses off..

[phildirt3]

@Somai82 another reason america is done

[xn117]

@ph03n1xamb1t please tell me that was a joke. 

[DevonSartori]

As much as I love Hitchens (thinner and shorter in person than he looks on TV) he might at some point take the time to say something good about somebody. Just a thought. It isn't like Anna Nicole Smith was a political hypocrite or a religious wacko.

[SethHesio]

@DevonSartori She was a terrible example of humanity though.

[iiwatcher]

She was a fat slut who died, as well as a drug addict & a shitty mom who drove her son to death.

[virtualguitarist]

Drunkard right there.

[SethHesio]

@virtualguitarist A lot of great people are... he functions exceptionally well when drinking.

[virtualguitarist]

@SethHesio Yea he is pretty smart tho, drinking and smoking himself to death... must be that atheist intellect at work.

[SethHesio]

@virtualguitarist He's only human, and he is a profoundly intelligent person. Anyone he speaks up against the barbaric nonsense of religion the way he has deserves a great deal of respect and admiration.

[SethHesio]

@virtualguitarist I'm glad that Christians exist though. All religion is nonsense, but you guys help stop the rapid spread of Islam, which I think is a good thing. The world would be far worse with Sharia law in place and having a billion christians in the way is for me, as an atheist, quite comforting. Carry on.

[scattt]

@virtualguitarist There is a distinction between intelligent and imprudent.

[manusdextra]

@virtualguitarist Purposefully destroying your own body doesn't necessarily have anything to do with intellect.

[virtualguitarist]

@manusdextra Thats exactly my point thank you!

[manusdextra]

@virtualguitarist No, it is not your point. Your point was that this atheist was too dumb to care about his health. My point is that even if you are very intelligent, you may develop a tendency for self destruction. If you look back at our combined cultural history, you'll find a lot of smart people committed suicide after calm and reasoned consideration.

[virtualguitarist]

@manusdextra Just because someone has alot of knowledge does not mean they are smart. Hitchens is a perfect example.

[manusdextra]

@virtualguitarist Obviously, you are the perfect person to judge this kind of thing.

[RollingOrmond]

"I'm going to the Essex House and I'm going to order a very bleak dinner." Vintage Hitchens.

[guero000000]

@RollingOrmond "very BIG dinner"

[violetninja]

Yeah, that's how I'll be remembering her.

Not that I ever wanted to know who she was in the first place...

[WillShakespeare2007]

A little harsh to say "fat slut dies" she was just a person. she was not forcing her lifestyle or views on anyone else just living. It makes me a little sad that English people think it is that being nasty about everyone and everything is the best way to live.

[rule914]

@WillShakespeare2007

I like how you get offended, and then in the same breath make an offensive and untrue generalisation about 'English people'.

[rule914]

@WillShakespeare2007

Also, Hitchens himself is not nasty about everyone and everything.

[WillShakespeare2007]

@rule914 We both know you do not "like" what I wrote. You are English and so you had to add sarcasm to your response? From Anne Robinson, to "Mock the Week" to in fact all popular culture English culture all you see is peaple being as nasty as posible. In England you can not walk through even a small town on a Friday or Saturday night without seeing people attacking each other. Travel a little and can you honestly say England is not a nasty culture compared to others?

[WillShakespeare2007]

@rule914 I have seen everything Hitchings has on YouTube and read two of his books, I am just starting is autobiography, and I can not remember him saying anything nice about a living person. I have hears him refer to friends but still he does not actually compliment them. I doubt knowing that he is dying he would have said "fat slut dies" about another human being that did no harm to anyone. Why do that but to get a cheap laugh about a dead woman. Needlessly nasty and offensive.

[rule914]

@WillShakespeare2007

I didn't like the fat slut comment either. What you're saying about Hitchens is simply untrue. He constantly praises George Orwell, he has said that Pope John Paul is an honourable and serious human being, even though Hitchens is clearly against the Catholic Church, etc.

Also, your ignorant generalisations about English people are far worse than the 'fat slut' comment. I am well travelled. It depends on the comparison -- not obviously nastier than American culture.

[WillShakespeare2007]

@rule914 I said living person - I am sorry to be the one to inform you of this terrible news but both George Orwell and Pope John Paul are dead. Stating the English enjoy being nasty about people is worse than finding it funny to call a dead women a fat slut - interesting view. You enjoy calling me ignorant when you do not even know me. It is so engrained I guess you do not even realise you are doing it. Lets see if you can respond with your own views without attack another person. 

[rule914]

@WillShakespeare2007

Does it matter whether the person is living or dead? That seems completely irrelevant. OK, he has said very nice things about Noam Chomesky. So you're wrong. So there. Absolutely. It's been proven. You can't deny it. Not even an irrelevant technicality you can point out like last time. Haha. *Points and laughs*.

Yes, your generalisations are ignorant. More specifically, they are untrue.

[WillShakespeare2007]

@rule914 That comment made me smile. I feel terrible to have to tell you that Noam Chomesky died just last night. No congratulations - you found one person. As you are clearly so happy I just can not bring myself to say anything negative about it. One gold star to you. Actually after giving more thought I think the fact Hitch uses his intellect to attack people that deserve it is for the best. But in the case of a celeb that is not in politics or religion it is too harsh.

[WillShakespeare2007]

@rule914 Moving on from the polemic to institutionalised- re the rudeness of british media and by degees population please just watch this - watch?v=1Zjjqhgyvag

[somewhatlongdong]

He said it in a way that could be considered unnecessary (fat slut dies,) but it really was not much more than that. She was only captivating because non-news about people that have no importance to society overall somehow capture a lot of attention. Paris Hilton is another example. Why do we care? What does she matter? She's the antithesis of what any good parent would want of a child. Yet still, she attracts media attention. It's junk "journalism," at best.

[keneblana]

He is the archetypal smug brit who wanks in front of his pornos in his jocks.

[sophilianate]

the link doesn't work, is there anywhere else to see the rest of the debate?

[ptaaffe]

Seeing the Tim Russert news at 0:38, and it took me back to that day. Was just getting off a flight and saw it on my blackberry. So sad to lose Mr Russert like that.

[AnonymousWhitePerson]

Fat bloated adipose gluttonous bastard.

[funkydreddUK]

Hitchens calling someone else fat?

[randomVHStat]

He did not deny his own fatness.

Maybe he said it because a fat slut seems more slutty than a slim slut.

[99minerkc]

He's 60 years old-He's in decent shape for his agr and CERTAINLY NOT fat! Open your eyes!

[DanaWhite0]

@99minerkc Well, you certainly must have American standards to think Christopher Hitchens is not fat.

[99minerkc]

@DanaWhite0 And what standards are you going by to judge a 60 year old man?

[DanaWhite0]

@99minerkc How the hell does his age have anything to do with it? In fact how the fuck does it even prove your point?? As a matter of fact, his age should even be MORE evidence to his fatness. He's probably fat BECAUSE he's old amongst other things.

[99minerkc]

@DanaWhite0 GOD you are such a DUMB ASS I can hardly take it!! You just proved my point! The very fact that the older one gets the more they tend to put on a few pounds, hence hitchens being 60 and looking as good as he does is a credit! You no doubt are young and ignorant in this area, if you're older(40+, then you're a TOTAL and complete IDIOT!!

[DanaWhite0]

@99minerkc Did I ever say he didn't look good for his age you dumb fuck? How the fuck does that even change the fact that he still LOOKS FAT. And yes, he DOES look fat for his age you fucking moron. My dad is 61 he weighs 95 kilos and he looks much thinner you dumb shit. Face it, Christopher Hitchens is a fatass, doesn't change his wit or his intellect you delusional fucking nuthugger.

[yerk3]

@DanaWhite0 He's not fat, even for his age. I hate people who think that anyone who doesn't have hollowed out cheeks is a fatass.

[yerk3]

@DanaWhite0 Also, people do tend to get heavier as they get older. Your metabolism slows down, and it gets harder to burn off extra pounds.

[yerk3]

@DanaWhite0 Bingo. Older people are heavier. So, he's really not all that fat for his age. Especially for a lifetime smoker who drinks scotch on a regular basis. Alcohol loads pounds onto you, it's like drinking syrup.

[danielrep]

@yerk3 Weight suits Hitchens, I dont know why. He doesn't look flabby at all, and walks with ease and lighthness.

[thebgbb]

The pot can call the kettle black because the pot knows black better than anyone.

She wasn't fat when she died.

Hitchens is hilarious.

[foolsbetrippin]

youll never be on tv get over it

[theshaggyskinhead]

It was 'fat slut'.

He didn't close his lips on the last part of the second word. He would have had to if he had said 'slob.'

[jamespforpresident]

"Fat slob dies"...hilarious!!

[TheCanadianWanderer]

I believe it was fat slut.
