@kevrs2

Somehow Obama was able to make it into the Senate and the White House, and no one along the way thought to do a background check.

You should do some research. The Birthers have been proven wrong and the birther queen has been fined for wasting everyone's time.

You guys are an embarrassment to the country.

Freedom of speech is supposed to protect the expression of ideas and opinions, not death threats, not incitement to violence. The use of threats and violence to limit others' freedom of speech is terrorism, and should be treated as such.

The background noise hypnotised me.

Hitchens rarely laughs. he NEVER laughs at the jokes he tells. That shows a lot about his character. It is nice to hear him laugh a little :D

@kevrs2 Dr Mengele I think you may mean.

[OperationCrossroad]

The 72 virgins story is a mistranslation of the original Qur'anic text.

What the original Islamic sacred text actually promises as a reward is "one 72 year-old virgin".

@tigeruby you sound like a fan of doctor goebbels

[reinforcedpenisstem]

@kevrs2 lol. Idiot fool. Stop this nonsense immediately. In my opinion, people [sic] like you should be either neutered or have their fallopian tubes severed in order to prevent stupidity from tainting the already troublesome state of the human gene pool. You should also be barred from stem cell facilities lest someone attempts to reboot cells with your genetic material - the thought of which makes me shudder.

@kevrs2 Sure I'm retired I have all day to laugh at your childish prattle. Post away, you're only digging a deeper hole for yourself and proving the point other posters have made directed at you. Post away Skippy it's a free country.
