Hitchens on Afghanistan, Palin

[boldlyGoingThere]

hitchens is talking again? quick zoom out, play the music louder and have the others talk over him!

[FRANKGG11]

Luv ya Hitch, but I think that Palin is more genuine than any of the current high profile politicians. Palin is a breathe of fresh air compared to Bush or Obama.

[dborg321]

The Hitchslap strikes again! Superb!

[scottkinghorn]

He's neither conservative or liberal

[nyomythus]

@scottkinghorn Well I think he's Liberal in the sense or tradition of being Left-critical-of-the-Left, Trotskyite ... tradition; with a healthy foundation in Classical Liberalism .. a Social Democrat as he understands it ... but not neccessarily a Progressive Liberal who are very often to orthodox, unfree-thinking, scripted, templated, in tablet form ... though some Progressive ideas are very naturally appealing, such as marijuanna legalization, gay/les/transgender equality..

[pawndominance1]

@scottkinghorn hes very very liberal except on the viewpoints having to do with Islam.

[TheRealJRTheGreat]

HITCH SLAPPED!!

[TheGreatDeciever55]

AHAHAHAAA i love how hitchens always goes balls out

[GSW12345]

"Don't be too hard on her she probably didnt write the piece or even read it for that matter." -Actually hilarious

[DaHonestAbe]

@GSW12345 And true.

[nyomythus]

@CommanderC4 I heard that.

[CommanderC4]

I love Hitchens. Its nice to hear a sane conservative.

[nyomythus]

@CommanderC4 ya me to but he's actually a Liberal.

[Noscetum]

@CommanderC4 He isn't in any sense a conservative. None of his reasons for being in favour of the war are really 'conservative' opinions, but radical opinions. His views on abortion are nuanced and he is still broadly pro-choice.

He's always been left-wing and in many ways still is. Just because he's no longer a socialist and a Trotskyist doesn't mean he's a conservative. He's as radical as ever.

Reasons for supporting things are what truly differentiates political positions.

[writersblock26]

@Noscetum Agreed.

[DarkPrince0fWGTN]

@CommanderC4 Except for supporting Iraq there is nothing conservative about him

[nyomythus]

@DarkPrince0fWGTN His support for removing the Saddam regime was from a humanitarian and very Liberal (international Liberal) perspective. Hitchens was in no way a Conservative.

"Do you mind moving your troops where they are NOT menacing one of our best friends"

Spot on as usual, Hitch. Pakistan is putting its resources in all the wrong places. India will not attack them if not provoked, if you look at the two countries histories Pakistan has always been the instigator and India just defended itself. India is vital in the fight against terrorism and they themselves have been one of its biggest targets, I'm glad the US is finally seeing this.

[mrknops]

Can anyone decipher what Hitchens is saying at 5:25? "...the president ought to be [what?]"

[theshortestpath]

@mrknops he said, quoting Palin 'the president ought to produce his birth certificate'

[philateliceun]

Hail the Hitchens!!

[Galactu5]

I'm not even sure the correct word to use to describe the behavior of the hosts when Christopher expresses his opinion of Palin. I do know they should have stopped with the "Tell us how you really feel" comments and stop covering him up with their witless babble. Palin is an obvious mental midget and one would have to defer to humanities brainiac du jour to make his assessment known to all.

Love or hate his opinion, the delivery is as tasty as the meal.

[beradification]

Eugene Robinson sound like an older kermit the frog

scarborough sounds like miss piggy

[nyomythus]

@beradification hahahah!!

[lac3y1988]

lol that female host blatantly wanted Hitchen's cock.

[ghostmanriding]

I would be suspicious of anyone who would give Palin one ounce of credence,regardless of their political affiliation.

[zeratul1987]

the man in glasses like yoda he sounds

[Pontusky]

Its so embarrassing to see the hosts of the show nervously try to stop Hitchens from expressing his thoughts and opinions.

What the hell are they afraid of?

Can they get sued over something hitchens say on their show?

[anikinippon]

hahaha I love the Hitch!

[TheLizzylizzy]

your man love for him is hilarious =)

[Mindaslight]

"Merry Christmas" lol.

[BillKiernan]

it annoys me that these dipshits are too busy trying to distance themselves from his opinions to actually listen to what hitchens is saying.

[dhRzztt]

They are just paranoid of politcal libel. They struggle for the "fair and balanced" myth and really have no business doing serious commentary or editorializing about anyone. Hitchens on the other hand, is a humanitarian FORCE to be reckoned with. They wish they were him but aren't up to the task, and they rightly know it.

[thedrizzle78]

I like the way hitch does not allow stupid people to talk over him.

[xn117]

@thedrizzle78 LOL

[ledzzappa]

@thedrizzle78 the problem is bro that they are all stupid compared to him.

[powereddrive]

I don't think Palin knows anything about anything.

But it is far worse to be a sellout and a bullshitter than it is to be stupid, the former can helped, the latter cannot.

[chansetwo]

It's funny how Joe and friends act surprised at what Hitchens says when his statements are blatantly obvious.

[powereddrive]

And there are some who say sarah palin is a great hero and a person of the highest integrity

[BillKiernan]

i think those are called "gullible fools."

[powereddrive]

I would say the same about Hitchens

[livardo]

I can't believe Hitchens keeps coming back to talk to Joe after all of the past disasters.

[Melvin6566842]

"Joe" is still obnoxious. Point is those "disasters" you speak of were pretty much staged outrage to pander to the average viewer. If you remember what they were about: the darling of the religious right Jerry Falwell, Mother Teresa and "god".

[gtalcstories]

what collumns?

[biggesttrucker]

Check out his new slate piece. "Why does Pakistan Hate the United States."

Heads up that I predicted this a week ago, before he wrote his new article. I was right about that fatass HItchens.
