  • Charlie Rose is the only television interviewer I've seen who is up to the task of dealing with Christopher Hitchens.

  • That's because he's honestly trying to learn what the guest believes. EVERYONE else seems to be using guests as a sounding board for their own agenda.

  • @ScottBrown666 Ah I see, and I'm the stupid one?

  • @TheTopBloke Sorry dude, I didn't realize I was responding to the same stupid cunt.

  • @ScottBrown666 Don't be a ponce. Your first response was just fine. You didn't have to elaborate and be a jackass about it.

  • @TheTopBloke Neocon? No. He's an old school leftist and self-proclaimed Marxist who consistently opposes fascism, theocracy, and totalitarianism by violent means when necessary and without any reservation.

  • @TheTopBloke I don't understand your confusion, unless you're only confused because he doesn't fit the political paradigm you're accustomed to and you have a hard time thinking outside of that box.

  • @rebelmusicfan This is the only part of Hitchens I really don't understand. On all points he makes sense, but he's a communist? Seriously, WTF?

  • @TheTopBloke

    Hitchens says he is a "Marxist in a time when capitalism is more revolutionary"

    and "Still a Marxist but not a socialist"

  • Great to hear Hitchens supported the removal of the fascist dictator Galtieri from the Falklands. Another strange and intriguing, de-facto bedfellow of the 'anti-war' movement.

  • Then accordingly, can we conclude that Hitchens is a new school Marxist, ie. Neocon?
