Hitchens Gives Bill Maher's Audience the Finger

fuck yes!!

Hitchens WAS right here though - we all know Bush is a clown, and cracking jokes about him has really become the thing that dumb people laugh at. (except dumb people are usually Bush supporters)

@quarky2001 that made no sense.

Hitchens is generally smarter than Bill but Bill was correct here IMO. Hitchens is a bright guy but he can be very one-eyed on some issues. He also misquoted at 0:09 but he probably got that from the media which also misquoted.

haha his audience are faggs

Have you ever read one of his biographies? I just finished the books "Spirit of Solitude" and "Ghost of Madness" and I would safely bet he was narcissistic. He was a genius of the first degree but an utter failure as a human being.

That explains it. I didn't realize that you were some sort of neocon.

What are you talking about? Russell's political views are not his sensitivity or compassion. I guess I wouldn't have been 100% behind the Bay of Pigs - which he had much to do with - but I'm by no means conservative.

I don't understand how you could see someone who went to jail twice for their political convictions, once at I think nearly the age of 90,
as lacking compassion.

Sir, I will ask you again - have you read a thorough biography of the man? Yes, he would suffer - publicly and with great fan fare - for his principles. He would NOT do squat for his own family. He had a nasty habit of writing family members off - suddenly - if they either transgressed by disagreeing with him or inherited the family curse of schitzophrenia; this to the complete demise of these people. He would completely change his beliefs on a dime and drop everyone involved with that topic....
