I understand why he hates the Cross so much, his parent committed suicide, and he has become a barely functioning drunk(last time I checked).

This guy wrote a hateful book about Mother Teresa. He hates the world because it isn't Communist. Lost soul.IMO

In defense of Hitch, he was one the the few prominent Leftists at The Nation who broke with the editorial staff over the War on Terror. He "gets it", unlike the Michael Moore/Noam Chomsky crowd. He has remained a resolute supporter of the war and plans to vote for Bush in November, and he stopped being a Communist years ago. He remains a leftist, however.

He is an atheist, however, and remains a passionate partisan of that belief. This review should surprise no one who has read Hitchens for many years. Knowing all this, I can forgive him, because he understands the big issue this year. He just doesn't get the One Big Thing, that's all.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Well, not exactly. But he is very hostile toward religion and religious people. He doesn't understand them. How can you sacrifice like that? Indeed how can you love like that?

By his lights you can't. Therefore there must be some evil hidden motive.

Many here like Hitchens because he dislikes the clintons. Sorry, that isn't enough to make me to like this commie scumbag.

His parent or parents committed suicide? How awful....no wonder he is warped....but his brother isn't.
