Christopher Hitchens is no way comparable to Anne Coulter.

He`s conservative and thats the only thing they have in common

Anne Coulter is a dumbfuck reactionary that writes shit books

[waltermh111]

Anything that throws doubt on religion is fanaticism. People who doubted religions were considered heretics and killed.

Europe is breaking away from that mindset, but america is way behind in being so open minded

Also, He and Dawkins have brought forth the idea that religion should be abolished because its brainwashing. your raised from birth forced to believe this stuff.

I agree with them, but neither person actually encourages violence or hatred of religious people, just of religion itself.

@KuriPango Christopher Hitchens has said repeatedly that he is not a conservative.

[AsSomedayItMayHappen]

He never claimed that his liberalism and conservatism stemmed from his atheism (although, they are related). He was just stating a fact.

"you can vote against it if you like"

"sure will"

Classic hitchens

[tooldruid]

"Saved in some tabernacle in Wasilla..." Classic!

[Mike3303]

Hitchens adopts no ideology. He's simply an indepent with no liberal or conservate precepts.

"Christopher Hitchens is NOT conservative! He is an atheist, and on the liberal side of nearly every social issue,..."

Why is being atheist important whether or not one is a conservative? Just because most Americans fail to distinguish between religion and politics, it doesn't mean it makes any sense.

[TechnoDevotee]

Christopher Hitchens is NOT conservative! He is an atheist, and on the liberal side of nearly every social issue, and his support for the war is the desire to spread secular democracy and human rights abroad, whereas a true conservative cares not for democracy and human rights in other countries but is an isolationist that only cares about his own country

on top of all this Hitchens does not call himself a conservative and quickly corrects people who call him one

[WilleTsukka]

"You can vote against it if you want..." "Sure will" LOL gotta love Hitchens

[waltermh111]

What reputation. He isnt exactly deep into politics anymore is he?

What is he doing right now that he needs a reputation?

Besides, why would he care about the liberals reputation of him? Your accusation makes no sense.

In his previous role he was a shill for sure, but he was being a typical republican, and now he is representing the break up of the party. Its a good sign and good for him for not being afraid ro break apart.

He has clearly paid a price for it, and i will not deride him for it.

[waltermh111]

somebody gave you a thumbs down, so i want to defend that I agree he really believes hes right and i would love to see somebody post some place where he admits hes wrong about anything.

Considering his comment i dont think its deserving to thumb down somebody without proving them wrong.

or does the person doing the thumbing think Hitchens is simply never wrong?

I said I respect him, but he does have faults like anybody, and one may be that he has trouble admitting he can be wrong.
