Are you still around?

Repeating common knowledge about Hitchens isn't displaying examples of dishonesty. Disagreement perhaps, but I'm still waiting for you to back up your charge that Hitchens practiced dishonesty. I'll give you one more post, and then I think we're done. You've utterly failed to back up your charge that he is a 'dishonest man', and every challenge to present evidence leads to more misdirection and reiterating some of his more controversial views. Hint: just because something is controversial, or you disagree with it, doesn't make it dishonest.

My goodness. You do need therapy or alzheimer’s care.

Just to “refresh your recollection”: You claimed Hitchens was “NEVER DISHONEST”. I have responded that your claim is silly on its face and false. Most recently, after pointing out that (1) my view that Hitchens could not be viewed as “NEVER dishonest” is a view shared even by his former friends on the left and (2) Hitchens’ worldview for much of his life (at a minimum) endorsed lying for the “cause”, I gave you a simple, recent example of an obvious, deliberate misrepresentation by Hitchens.

While this is off point, being a fan of Lenin - a mass murderer - doesn’t make Hitchens “controversial”; it reveals him as evil, no matter what he had to say about Mohammedanism.

By the way, hero-worship makes you a captive to someone else. You need to give it up.

I look forward to your continued flailing.

Bless your heart.
