Nope..that`s how you spell "centre"...it`s called English. We can accept your shoddy use of the language, but not criticism of it`s CORRECT use!

Oh, and that`s limey, not "limy"...can`t even spell American words, can you?!

dude, Charlie is fucking irritating. Can't he just let someone finish a sentence without interrupting? Jeez.

@jimmbo13 hitchens is easy to understand, but what exactly is admirable about clinton?

[folkhippy]

Charlie Rose is one of the worst interviewers I have ever seen in the chair. This interview is a great example of the disorganized, bumbling commentary that he regularly adds to his program. 

[MrAnthonyVance]

Dear Charlie ... let HIM SPEAK. Jesus!

[jimmbo13]

Any one here who admires both Hitchens and Clinton? I wasnt sure what to do...

[firestartertwistedfi]

Anyone asks you what you think about Clinton, just quote the following: "Anyway, here's what he did to get out of it. ... He flew down to Arkansas to personally supervise the execution of a lobotomised black defendant.. who couldn't even understand the charges against him. He'd blown his brain away" There's no comeback to that.

@brandonihidalgo892 You are right. Charlie Rose should have just shut the hell up and let Christopher Hitchens speak. Hitchens, by the way, was really cool back then.

@LiBlub1

i know what neo means. My point is that those who use the term neocon to attack anyone they dont like dont know what it means. they reffer to the most extreme and reactionary members of the right as neocons and ive even heard them suggest that the far left are therefore neoliberals (ignorant of the fact that neoliberalism was the ideology of the right- Reagan and Thatcher)

So im guessing that they think the neo must mean extreme cos how else do you call someone like Limbaugh a neocon.

[LiBlub1]

@gtalcstories It means new, as in neo-nazi.

@gg4465a HaHaHaHaHa.

Love seeing these idiots coming on here, posing intellectually but then gets 'pwnd' so viciously.

[gg4465a]

Also, it's criminal that no one is calling you out on this. Hitchens is an outspoken advocate of socialist institutions, as well he should be. Because they work.

We have plenty of socialist institutions here in America, and I'm willing to bet my credibility that you've benefited from them. They include: police, firefighters, public schools, water and electric utilities, Social Security, and the FDIC.

But you're right, the police are just socialists and we should hate them.
