Christopher Hitchens talks Obama, Hillary, Election 2008 [1]

[ghenulo]

Yet Obama won. That's just how much Hillary and McCain sucked :)

[woxiedowg]

Hahaha, his hair. How cute.

[steveo3141]

lmao, his hair never ever looks good, but his mind always makes up for it.

[Freshhhhh1982]

Christopher Hitchens is what stewie from family guy grows up to be.

[writersblock26]

@Freshhhhh1982 lol I agree, though I've often thought that Stewie Griffith and Salman Rushie have look more common than Stewie and Hitchens, at least in terms of their facial features, especially their epicanthic folds.

[fedea82]

I´m sorry if someone posted this earlier, but:

Cristopher, WTF is wrong with your hair???? It´s pretty fucked up!

[Ragnaros12345]

Lol, I noticed that too.

[o1slvrcobrasvt]

brian, the germans have experienced what a right winger can be capable of , i love the USA and I would die for it, but dont you think it was time for policy change, get the jesus freak out of there and lets have some good minds run it for once. stop acting like you know what will happen. if you want obama to fail then u are ANTI-USA. working together gets things done, not being a fan boy righty

[MaxwellBennett]

i wish if he wasn't drunk ALL the time.

[ExtremeBogom]

@MaxwellBennett

People keep saying this on every other Hitchens video.

Why do you assume he's had a drink here?

How do you know that?

[MaxwellBennett]

Who said australia had biased TV?

[brian8793]

Bush didn't lie once. I'm not a big fan of the man, but he didn't lie once. Obama has lied twice.

Obama said he went to the The Church for 20 years and said that "he never heard Wright say anything controversial". Thats a lie.

Second, his staff told the media that he wasn't bowing to the Saudi leader, but that he was "reaching down to shake his hand"

REACHING DOWN TO SHAKE HIS HAND.

[whiplashchild]

Youre stupid, arent you? The Bush family and administration have always been close allies of the Saudis. The fact, that Saudi Arabia is an islamistic Country never seemed to bother them. P.S. Please do some research on the economical engagement of the Bush family in Saudi Arabia before exposing your stupidity in public next time.

[brian8793]

So what? lol I know we do business with Saudi, and that Bush is an oil man. SO WHAT?

You still didn't answer my question, DIPSHIT. When did Bush lie? Because I clearly showed you how Obama has lied TWICE.

I never saw Bush bow to The Saudi King like a little bitch. Or else I would have called him a LITTLE BITCH.

So again, DIPSHIT, when did Bush LIE?

[brian8793]

Your from Germany? LOL

Thanks for making most of our soldiers assault rifles, and my hand guns BTW.lololol

Oh yeah, and making millions of vehicles that take OIL!

What a fucking hypocrite, you should slap yourself. Go listen to some techno and shut your mouth son.

[whiplashchild]

Oh, boy.

First of all: neither do i work for the automobile industry nor for the weapon industry. And im not listening to techno. Your answer to everything that contradicts your points of view seems to be "so what" so why should i talk to you att all? However, you see no difference in talking to someone and bowing to him, which tells me that your social life must be rather disappointing.

[brian8793]

LOL, allright man, your right. I was pretty much just kidding. So is our Messiah Obama going to stop doing business with Saudi Arabia?

The "BUSH FAMILY" has a RIGHT to do business with whoever they want.

It's funny how gullible The German people are. They sure do love to hear a good SPEECH! They sure do love to gather and listen to people that can tell them what they want to hear.lol

Obama has no experience. He just gave away key intelligence techniques to the world

[whiplashchild]

Back to topic: if you happen to read books then you might pick up "the forbidden truth" (or many others) which reveals how the the Bush administration impeded any reseach on the saudis entanglement in terroristic anctivities. Furthermore the Saud family has invested more than 1.4 Billion Dollars in companies in which members of the Bush family had prominent positions. So much for that.

[brian8793]

He in pushing through a stimulus package that will cause inflation in our Country. He is going around the world on an "apology" tour.

This is a nightmare. You remember what happened last time your Country faced a big inflation problem right?

Come on, that was funny though right? TECHNO? LOL!

I love ZEE GERMANS!

[whiplashchild]

Sigh. Somehow it seems that you dont read my comments before you answer them. Did i even mention Obama once? Look it up, please.

So you think its allright to do business with someone and let your political decisions be influenced by that, but its not all right to talk to that particular person? That doesnt make any sence, does it? The last time my country was facing a big recession the Autobahn was closed on sundays. What are you pointing at?

[brian8793]

You had to bring up the Autobahn, and totally make me jealous didn't you?

I want to take my Saab on the Autobahn!

[whiplashchild]

Oh, and an apology tour around the world is not the worst. We did that and it turned out to be very delightful for everybody. Just try that!

[brian8793]

We don't have anything to apologize for. We got faulty intelligence from U.N. inspectors. We freed The Iraqi people from the tyranny of a man that went berserk.

The United States is a haven for Religious freedom, and Freedom of Speech.

I love this Country so much whip, words can't describe it:)

[whiplashchild]

1: No, Collin Powel brought foulty intelligence to the UN.

Anyway: are you thinking about your country, when you masturbate?

[brian8793]

Sometimes, why not?

[hippotoast]

I masturbated once over a 6 inch tall chocolate Statute of Liberty. I couldn't find any tissues or pillows so I wiped my semen spluttering penis all over a spangled banner I found lying on the floor. Is that rape?

[surrogatemind]

rape? no. sounds like saturday night...

[hippotoast]

I can't find my fucking comment. What exactly are you responding to?

[brian8793]

An "ungodly hour" FOR HITCHENS? That would be any time from 4 in the morning to about 4-5 at night.lol

[sixfigures1]

"down with the brothers"- perfect !

[jhohcable]

Being "so down with the brothers" specifically.

[Seaartist]

Again christopher hitchens is absolutely dead on correct, i don't give two shits if he has a bad attitude as long as hes right...

[philobeddow]

Juvenile response...at the very least educate yourself more on the guys position before you paint yourself into a corner.

[jasonmhc]

i dont know what it is about christopher hitchens, but i just dont trust the fucker, he thinks he's smarter than he really is. he is a supporter of tony blair which in my view devoids anything he may say wether or not it sounds correct...his brother peter comes accross in a much better way. how come chris is such a stuck up aristicrat worshipping retard when his brother doesnt.. chris has too much to say about too much and he constantly chases his won backside then changes direction

[marebear087]

He really does have too much to say about everything and he isn't that smart...I think his problem is that he sees everything black and white, making him come off really strong on what he believes at the time, and then he changes his opinions on things and I think he's elitist but not in a good way

[NickandThaisy]

My initial reaction to 'The Race' speech was that it was the best political speech I'd heard in years. However, I think that has more to do with the quality of political speeches in years rather than this speech in particular

[Grak70]

LOL @ Hitch's hair! X-)

You're still my hero Chris, but invest in a comb.

[eirefrance]

Seriously, the fact that he looks like he just woke up from a two-day bender just adds to his charm.

[GreatUnwashedMass]

Probably doesn't just look that way.

[IWasBornHere]

"..down with the brothers"

[Tris10]

Cant beleive i missed this!!!!!

[gunjitsingh]

Why is Stanford University's seal in the background?

[opmandrake]

Wow Hitchens looks stone-pissed at the beginning of this vid. Still love him though.

He never said to my knowledge he's pro-Bush...just for the Iraq war.

[Mike3303]

He did openly support Bush in Bush's two elections.

[teflonmagnet]

hitch loves cock...he uses cum for styling gel.

[WizardsStaff]

LMAO. i love Hitchens but his hair looks like it

[zabrak999]

People. Christohpher hitchens WANTS OBAMA TO WIN NOW. he recently put out an article called "Vote for Obama

McCain lacks the character and temperament to be president" Google it.

[sufiankassam]

Hitchens confuses me. he is an athiest fighting for the seperation of church and state yet seems to be an avid Bush supporter and conservative. and he hates the democrats, just seems hypocritical.......

[AllySmells001]

Haha, yeah. I've just heard him talk about support for Republican foreign policy. Weird how he downgrades Obama though--maybe if Obama was an anti-theist, Hitchens would warm up to him. But he's now endorsed Obama. Hurray!

[perthged101]

The United States constitution states that church and state should be separate. It's only relatively recently that (some) people have come out against that viewpoint.

[Mike3303]

The Constitution does not literally state "separation of church and state," but rather "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . ." The former was from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson. I'm not saying there shouldn't be separation of church and state, just stating this common misconstruance.

[Grak70]

What would be the functional difference between those two wordings? I don't see any wiggle room allowed by a strict literalist view. Either way, religion is intended to have no place in government.

[alvarezplayer21]

your an idiot

[mdiem]

I'm sure Hitchens is very intelligent, but I can't figure out what he's talking about - maybe it's his accent.

[Surtur]

Nice vocabulary, nice haircut too.

[Kazakstanzis1]

if obama was white he wouldn't have gotten anywhere in politics and would just be a closet homosexual and a coke head

[erjoalgo]

PlanetoftheAtheists:

I agree completely. This guy has some weird political views for his intellectual capacity. What, would he rather have McCain, that religious bigot, opportunistic bastard? In every point he makes about Obama he is so obviously biased against him, it is painful to watch such dishonest discourse. I think the speech was great,an important public statement about the attrition of race in this country, a taboo topic that he courageously dressed

[pitbull103]

Love the Hitch. However, it's time to find a comb and lose weight. I want this man around a long time and healthy.

[zeldagoblin]

I agree with you. His skin looks grey and he looks a little sick here. We need his clarity and wisdom for a while longer yet, cmon Hitch, get sleep and some vitamins down ya!

[saelaird]

"Obama went church shopping for one which was Down with the brothers"

Oh Hitchy... love it.

You're a fucking legend!

[GillerMonster]

So true repair the damage but only to the original state. So what did Obama say? Sorry this hurt me and I don't want you to be offended so please forget what you just heard. Blah Blah Blah Bullshit that's all it was and the sad thing is most will say OH he's sorry for looking like a dung bag so lets forgive him, cause u know he's don't so well to be black. I'd be embarrased and ashamed to align myself with such a "person" of such credulity since it would show alot about myself. Sad state we're n

[HETAGU]

Hitchens; get a grip. You very well know that Ferraro's comment was designed to undermine Barack Obama, and in a way to de-individualize him. And yes, it was racist in nature. Of course, not offensive to a priviledge white male. How predictable.

[FlyingBCars]

Sorry--completely forgot to mention I was responding to saaweet.

[FlyingBCars]

I agree with you to the point where I could have written those words, with one exception: where you wrote "liberal," I would have written "conservative." I wish there were more out there, on both sides, who could have a spirited debate, but do so with civility. It embarrasses me when another conservative resorts to name calling and demonizing. I'm glad whenever I find the same attitude from someone on the other side of the isle. Cheers.

[PlanetoftheAtheists]

this coming from the cheesdick who publicly spoke in favor of invading Iraq...BRILLIANT Chris...when will you acknowledge the blood on your hands? As much as i despise religion, and love hearing his critique of it, it doesnt explain (or excuse)his patently ubsurd political beliefs

[scrumptiousvittles]

i love the hair!!

[Satak8]

Yeah 10 points. Chris just don't care...

[jeffbrown8]

what's up with the conspirator TREADYBREADY thinking our government is capable of creating the aids virus? our government is incompetent-quit developing conspiracies and believe the more common sense obvious-incompetency-just today we saw the remarks of the 911 masterminds..and then there's an article about the pentagon trying to keep iranian intelligence from the cia post 911, because the cia was viewed as incompetent for its mistakes of 911-conspirators ignore the obvious & assign wickedness

[jeffbrown8]

yeah, i think it's ironic that hitchens doesn't get excited about socialist obama...

Hitchens doesn't get excited about Chavez or Putin.. or Castro.. so what's the deal? is hithchen's previous socialist views changing?

[OneBigRetard]

How the fuck is Putin socialist?

[eirefrance]

I'd be interested to know who Hitchens will vote for in his first US presidential election.

[thesunofjuda]

right wing fascist, he should stick to religion

[johnnyk2112]

intelligence breeds conservatism.

[jeffbrown8]

haha- christopher hitchen's hair.. he cracks me up- he's so smart and he doesn't care

[eirefrance]

Exactly.

[acphenom]

@jeffbrown8 rotfl, I just had to pause this a few seconds in to give myself time to laugh properly - Hitch's disregard for his hair is just...dare I say, Godly

[patrick112590]

@jeffbrown8 He looks like he just hopped out of bed for this one. :P

[lanceawatt]

Your right about the american Government, it is a shit, but in no way shape or form is our species anywhere near advanced enough to create the aids virus. Besides, it was first seen in a type of monkey/ape (there is evidence to back this with), the disease got transmitted throughafrican tribesmen hunting them for food.

It's an interesting thought, and I wouldn't be surprised if the bastards tried, the just lack the potential :)

[lanceawatt]

Htichins is great, his arguments often pleasingly floor his intellectal oponents,

but WTF did he get up to the night before???

He looks like he's gone on a 3 day bender xD

[skellybitch]

hitchens looks like a grown-up stewie from family guy

[lanceawatt]

OFLMAO so true

[flaskhalss]

HAHAHA

[TREADYBREADY]

Hitchens does not make any sense at all. I am terribly disturbed that this man has any followers at all.

[hexag1]

Which of his statements in this clip don't make sense?

[lanceawatt]

Nice of you to make a claim and kindly back it with a justification.

[TREADYBREADY]

Well lanceawatt, hitchens tries to dismiss the notion that the government created aids as if it were perposterous. The same U.S. that put small pox on blankets to kill native americans, and injected blacks with syphillis for over 40 years even after they had found the cure, and the U.S. campaign to sterilize puerto rican women for over 40 years. I mean it not an absurd argument. Hitchens is not a molecular biologist how the hell does he know.

[amazingjames311]

they didn't inject them for 40yrs that is a exageration of the fact.

it is absurd to say, because one can look at the state of viral biological understanding. Only very recently have we gained the ability to "create" anything, all we could ever do with virus' in the past is to weaponize them into highly trainsmitible aerosole's.

also "aides" was known in humans in africa prior to its reaching america.

[larrycastle]

Somebody get Hitchens a comb!

[ngarey]

lol that's how he rolls man, he has probably had at least three whiskeys by that point. He's a legend.

[TyTrig]

the united states government was, and im sure still is the worlds largerst distributer, and creator, of biological weapons. They have created cancer virus's, genetic target virus's, and gender specific virus's.

[TheConquerMentality]

The United States also leads the world in cancer research, medical technology investment, biotech, word wide charity donations [Save Darfur!], education opportunities...such is the 'American Dream'.

[TyTrig]

The United States does cancer research to see what the effects on humans are, i agree, but you must ask why, studying the results of a test you developed is common in any scientific study.

[NukeFascistAmerica]

Christopher Hitchens is a fascist. George Galloway owns him.

[grubelsucht]

Hitchens offers meaningless speculation about Obama's religious sympathies. We can only judge by what Obama actually says: he is as "deluded" as George Bush (or is that as "cynical" and manipulative of the deluded?). Get rid of the savior idea, neither of these politicions has power to overcome the great problems we face. It is only circumstance.

[dradeel]

Gotta love Hitchen's hair style there. Must've been a wild night :D

[beteck123]

What is Chris talking abt,Politician dont care abt walking away if its gonna hurt their career.You only have to look at the Clintons. Vince Foster killed.Peter Paul,they never met him despite undisputable evidence.

[beteck123]

Is there a bigger racist and a smaller racist?

Dont get Chris point here.

[dookdawg214]

"Down with the brothers." LOL

[FreakOfMeds]

This is the same guy who is in bed with the neo cons for invading Iraq. You think his opinion matters at all in politics? A paid dog

[YawnGod]

Woof woof.

[TomPiltoff]

Paid? Did you really just accuse Hitchens of having been paid off to support the war?

[thesunofjuda]

cheah

[thesunofjuda]

agree=]]

why does hitchens come across as a bumbling

if someone watched this without knowledge of the english, they would think he was moronic...

by the way... there is no possible, natural way, that aids could have come about with no outside source... they cant find out where it came from?

i ,personally, think it is a biological weapon

[TomPiltoff]

So you think Christopher Hitchens is paid by neo cons to support the war and AIDS is a weapon......you're fucking nuts and nobody takes your opinion seriously.

[hexag1]

...... you are joking right?

HIV could not have descended by natural selection from the closely related SIV, found in many bushmeat monkeys in western Africa??

Do your homework dude.

[JohnR22926]

Hitchens is very anti-religion and IMO he's been consistent among all religions. Although I reject the neocon agenda, I do think the WOT is legit and that Islamic fundamentalism is patently unacceptable. You don't have to be "for" the war to condemn the fanatical religious bs which is commonplace in the middle east. Homophobia, oppression of women, rejection of democracy, etc. Where's the Left on this? Relatively silent; too busy fuming over the neocons...who are "history" IMO anyway.

[MarquisdeLafayette]

The Hitch is spot on as usual.

Obama is being exposed as a lightweight - perhaps the worst Democratic Presidential candidate since Dukakis.

[thesunofjuda]

COW LICK!

[fringefries]

Well folks what do you expect? Hitchins was completely wrong in support of the Iraqi invasion and he is WRONG on this. Can we trust someone who is SOOOOOOOO wrong allllllll the time? I say throw this very intelligent man(where credit is due)opinion in the trash with his other failed ideas. Hitchins you are brilliant I love you. You're not allways wrong but you were on Iraqi and on Obama! OBAMA IN 08!

[murfy22]

so true, i wish hitch would just stick to combating religion. go obama.

[richter75]

Wrong support? The removing of Saddam and todays continuing UN mandate in Iraq dont need to be successful to gain the support from ppl who believe in freedom for all.

[mythcrusher]

Barack Obama has made Hitchens' point for him over the last month or so, hasn't he? Obama was a mere state legislator less than 4 years ago. Now, he's slowly being exposed for what he has always been: an empty suit, an imposter. But back to Hitchens: his command of the english language unsurpassed, his debating skills unparalleled, his mind of the highest order. Qualities to which Obama can only aspire.

[shivakrishnarama]

Hitchens is a smart guy, there is no denying it, but he's just plain wrong here. Barack Obama is part of an American movement and people are not going to be distracted by more BS!!!!

[truestefq]

yeah, watch "obsessed with obama" on superdeluxe com

[Bastardozer]

while i admire christopher hitchens-- his independent, iconoclastic, and well constructed mind-- he's so far off base in this moment. obama's "race speech" was incredibly nuanced & genuine & beautiful. barack obama does not need to specify the statements he would denounce; he is not jeremiah wright, & doesn't need to defend himself as though he were. it's admirable that obama didn't throw wright under the bus, & chose to defend himself & the incredible complexity of race, religion, etc.

[nadeau]

You don't go to a church for 20 years and not believe in what it teaches. There is no argument against that. I bet your jersey wearing self would feel different if he was a conservative republican.

[Bastardozer]

have you listened to what wright has said in full, and not in chopped up youtube snippets? or looked at his record of military and community service? he is no falwell, and i absolutely will maintain this "double standard" likewise.

[nadeau]

Hamas, a known terrorist organization also has a record of helping the poor. Does that makes them good too? They also have a military history too.Come up something better than that.

[Bastardozer]

i love how the hitchens followers, like the ron paul followers here on youtube, beat off to moving images of their god and hit the little thumbs down symbol next to comments they don't like (and are almost always too cowardly to actually debate) as if such a childish gesture will change anyone's mind on the subject.

[Bastardozer]

and look at that, -3! thank you for proving my point, anonymous.

[digitalwaylander]

Ha, Ron Paul and Christopher Hitchens are diametrically opposed on every subject about which I've heard them state their positions. Did you have something to debate, or am I interrupting your whining? =) Gave you a +1, by the way.

[flaskhalss]

Seems like you created yourself a nice little win-win-situation. As you surely realise that's not a valid way to argue.

[1DeathWalkingTerror1]

Everyone put their green hands up who wants Christopher Hitchens on Lateline once a week.

[jippy33]

Hitchens fools everyone everytime, he looks like a hobo! What a great mind.

[ruin3r]

Anyone else notice Hitchens' hair is totally messed up every time he's a guest on a show? did he forget to comb the left side of his head or something?

[Sehara]

And for those who said that I am arrogant, let me say that this was unjust. I am not public person who is constantly trying to influence others. I just said that i don't like him. You like him and i don't mind. I thought I am allowed to say what i think. So many people are leaving coments, so did i. I can live fine wihtout his remarks. I don't need his point of view.

[metallicism]

tony jones is funny

[hexag1]

yo!

[Sehara]

Oh comeon! Who listens to this frustrated alcoholic looking? Go buy yourself a comb, Hitchens. He is not looking confused all the time, he IS confused! What he has to talk about other than hate? Hate is his middle name. You can feel hate coming out of every cell from his body.

[bigjstokes]

He's an oppositionist for the sake of it. Democracy needs his ilk.

[ClumsyRoot]

(1) What does what he looks like have to do with anything? That's strikes me as awfully superficial. (2) Perhaps he does drink too much, but again, that's a shallow and irrelevant point. (3) He doesn't seem at all confused. On the contrary, his arguments are cogent, and he was eloquent as always. (4) When was he being hateful? Can you cite an example from this interview?

[hexag1]

I find that a lot of folks just misunderstand what Christopher Hitchens' actually says. They see him as an antagonist to their viewpoint (and often rightly so), and so they hear every word coming out of his mouth as hateful.

This interpretation is so far from the truth. Hitchens criticisms are witty, acerbic, accurate, and insightful.

That's why they think he hates, because he rains down so much pain and devastating criticism on his targets.

[ClumsyRoot]

Good point.

[Sehara]

Watch Galloway-Hitchens debate

[Locateson]

Many people did, and I've come to the conclusion that Galloways appearance was disgraceful.

[Sehara]

I am talking about Hitchens, not about just this interview. Look back. He suported Palestine, then changed his mind. I have feeling he is against everybody and himself. If you don't agree, that's fine, i have no intentions to change anybody's mind. But he does! And I am not shallow, rather very sensitive person who love truth and justice. Hitchens has a problem, in his mind only he is right and there is no room for others. Ever watched debate Galloway-Hitchens? He lost it BIG time.

[ClumsyRoot]

If Hitchens truly is the way you're describing him, then how could he have ever changed his mind about supporting Palestine? He may be outspoken, cocky, and at times caustic, but I think it would be hard to argue that he's insular or close-minded.

[hexag1]

Hitchens nutted all over Galloway's face, pardon my French.

Galloway didn't even ATTEMPT to debate Hitchens on any specific issue of the war, he just screamed the same sentence over and over "HITCHENS HAS BETRAYED THE LEFT AND JOINED BUSH AND THE NEOCONS!"

[hexag1]

He didn't challenge Hitch on any points except for 1:

if you'll recall, Galloway called Hitchens a liar for accusing him of praising Sadaam: "your lying, your nose is growing"

just search youtube for Galloway Sadaam and you'll see what a revolting liar he is.

[Sehara]

I apologize for not paying much attention on what was it about. Hitchens is so scary for me that i cannot concentrate when he is talking. My mind wander and only what is left is uneasy feeling. I cannot listen to him. I should point that in the first place. I don't like him and that is that. I see his expresion and movements and it is enough for me. Only reason i said that he lost is, he was sweating like crazy. I am not ignorant, i am not interested in what he has to say. I don't care.

[kentamitchell]

It is probably to much to hope for, but wouldn't it be *beyond* *wonderful* if Galloway was prosecuted for multiple counts of perjury? I would love to see him do a long prison term.

[Sehara]

Yes, him and everybody else who made such a mess in this world, killed, lied, stole...

[kentamitchell]

Uh-huh, translation: anybody who slams Bush (and incidently Hitchens) gets a pass from you. Galloway made big money from Saddam Hussein- getting rich off meant for sick and starving children- he is a very special type of evil man. And too many moral relativists are all too willing to excuse his actions.

[Sehara]

Why are you reading something i didn't say is beyond me. I told you before that i don't care about Galloway. Hitchens get's on my nerves. Not because what he say, because i don't like HIM. He can't say anything to please me. Didn't you have similar experience in your life? I admit, he is maybe inteligent and it is not his fault i don't like him. I just don't. I wanted to watch debate betwen him and his brother but couldn't. As soon as he started talking, i had to stop. He is too distracting.

[kentamitchell]

Uh-huh.

I told not like thee Dr. Fell just why I cannot tell

But one thing I know and know full well

I do not like thee Dr. Fell

If you don't like CH, fine. I MUCH prefer to concentrate on his ideas. E. Roosevelt said:

Great minds discuss ideas

Mediocre minds discuss events

Weak minds discuss personalities.

[NickandThaisy]

Sehara: I told you before that i don't care about Galloway.

Umm... then why did you bring him up!!!

[memblor]

On what grounds do you suppose he lost it? I suppose you're impressed by deranged demagogues who bluster and intimidate rather than debate.

If you love truth and justice so much (your arrogance is overwhelming by the way) then look into firstly, Galloways repeated history of taking bribes and secondly, his praise for Hamas and Hezbollah as well as suicide bombers.

You are no friend of 'truth and justice' if you hold Galloway in high regard.

[Sehara]

I don't care about Galloway either. I am maybe inorant because i don't like Hitchens. Or maybe you are because you like him. But this is not the point. There is so many other intelectuals that is worth listening to. Hitchens is not one of them. He is paranoid. Anyway, i just expressed what i feel, I didn't express what i think. Scroll down and you'll see. Since when is feeling as same as thinking? Not since last time I checked world of politics.

[jp2007ms]

He still supports Palestine, he doesn't support Hamas. He's said over and over again that he's opposed to Israeli expansionism in Gaza and the West Bank, and he's said over and over again that he doesn't believe that a Brooklyn Jew has right to a land if a Palestinian who has been living there has to give it up for him. He's switched on socialism, political correctness etc., but he's always given good reasons for whatever he believes.

[Tinils]

"If you can only CLOSE YOUR EYES..and listen to it"...

"Close your eyes"..that summed it up for me haha...i stopped watching this fool...

[shockingtruths]

Obama's minister rants and raves. So what! "Blame Whitey!" is nothing new, and it sure not against the law. Are Americans made out of fluff now? Preacher Wright was in his early 20s in the 1960s. He rants and raves to remind people. He watched what happened to Emmett Till, and Medger Evers, in person. His crazy ideas and strong words don't make Obama a secret racist, and only a brainwashed Hillary fool would keep repeating it like a Fox News "reporter". See our video>
