More information about Christopher Hitchens (from Wikipedia):
Christopher Eric Hitchens (born April 13, 1949, in Portsmouth, England) is an Anglo-American author, journalist and literary critic. Currently living in Washington, D.C., he has been a columnist at Vanity Fair, The Nation, Slate and Free Inquiry; additionally, he is an occasional contributor to other publications and has appeared regularly in the Wall Street Journal. His brother is British journalist Peter Hitchens.
Hitchens is known for his iconoclasm, anti-clericalism, atheism, antitheism, anti-fascism and anti-monarchism. He is also noted for his acerbic wit and his noisy departure from the Anglo-American political left. He was formerly a Trotskyist and a fixture in the left wing publications of Britain and America. But a series of disagreements beginning in the early 1990s led to his resignation from The Nation shortly after the September 11, 2001, attacks. He is also known for his ardent admiration of George Orwell and Thomas Jefferson, and his iconoclastic criticism of Mother Teresa.
While Hitchens' idiosyncratic ideas and positions preclude easy classification, he is a vociferous critic of what he describes as "fascism with an Islamic face," and his critics have been known to describe him as a "neoconservative". Hitchens, however, refuses to embrace this designation. In 2004, Hitchens stated that neoconservative support for US intervention in Bosnia and Iraq convinced him that he was "on the same side as the neo-conservatives" when it came to contemporary foreign policy issues. He has also been known to refer to his association with "temporary neocon allies".
Hitchens no longer considers himself a Trotskyist or a socialist; yet he maintains that his political views have not changed significantly. He points out that, throughout his career, he has been both an atheist and an antitheist, and that he has always remained a believer in the Enlightenment values of secularism, humanism and reason. Hitchens has launched a detailed attack on Religion in his book god Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. He has also stated that, while he "was very much in rebellion against the state" during his youth, he is now "much more inclined to stress... issues of individual liberty."
Hitchens became a United States citizen on his fifty-eighth birthday, April 13, 2007.

did you even listen to the video?he said its a shame there isnt a hell for him to go to he never gave the perception that he believes in a hell and he was NOT attacking his family so dont label him as a hypocrit when you completly miss understood the conversation and when it comes to jerry he had that coming and then some he was a bigot hate mongerer ect. you did exactly what dumb ass hannity did put words into his mouth by saying hitchens attacked his family think befor you spout off
I don't always agree with Hitchens but on the damage done to society done by the Falwells od this world. Simply put, this man was an unholy cunt. Period.
Hitchens reminds me of a troll. He is always hunched over and never smiles. I can't believe he would say something like that directed at Jerry's family, despite what Jerry had done. I don't care that Hitchens hates Falwell, but to openly attack him and his family right after his death is just heartless. I would never openly attack Chris right after his death, because I have a heart. Funny that Hithcens doesn't believe in a hell, but he wants a lot of people to go there.
