Hitchens: McCain Is Senile
Slate ^ | November 03, 2008 | Christopher Hitchens

Posted on 11/03/2008 12:17:41 PM PST by RobinMasters

Funny how his senility and dishonorableness developed at the exact same time, and at just the moment that Hitchens endorsed McCain's opponent.

Hitchens just couldn’t help himself. He knows another far leftie when he sees one. The lure was too strong. Leftists have been waiting decades for a genuine Marxist to show up, and now Obama meets their expectations. His criticism of McCain and Palin is just a smokescreen. Now he’s burned his bridges on both ends. The only thing left (no pun intended) for him to do is to collapse into the abyss.

“I personally like Hitchens.”

Are you senile?! He takes himself far more serious than the rest of us, which is why the media loves him. The imbecile should wear a panty on his head as a crown. He is the equivalent of a court jester (no offense to jesters).

I run into that kind of illogic all the time.

My favorite is the person who tells me that Palin is inexperienced. I cite two of her accomplishments as governor and ask them to counter with two of OB's accomplishments. Silence............ Then I conclude "The republican VP is more qualified to be president than the Dem Presidential candidate. Embarrassing!

As quick-witted as Hitchens is, his judgment can never really be trusted: no truly thoughtful person, no matter how young and passionate, would ever have worshipped at the altar of Trotsky.

He has sensitivities that renders an otherwise good mind incapable of thought.

And those sensitivities all stem from religion. Hitchens absolutely despises devoutly religious people, which is why McCain picking Palin warped his mind to the point of endorsing B-HO. Hitchens truly believes there's very little difference between Christians and jihadists. He's a very sick soul.

Marx and Hitchens have so much in common. For one thing, they’re atheists. That explains it.

Well, excuse me, but Marx is no longer an atheist.

Furthermore, no one who is serious about fighting the jihadis and Islamofascists would continue to defend the likes of Khalidi and Fast Eddie “Epic Fraud” Said as Christopher continues to do. I guess on Planet Christopher, there are “right” and “wrong” types of terrorists and terrorist shills.

I presume that in this fantastic piece of semicoherent Florida pandering McCain meant to imply the wearing of a neo-Nazi outfit rather than the membership of one, but it was hardly necessary for him to be so arch as to disclaim an interest in "talking about media bias." After all, his campaign maintains and accouters a running mate who will do all that for him

This is a good example of intellectual pretentiousness fortified by Jack Daniels. Poor slob.

“Hitchens is a nasty drunk. I wonder how much of what he writes he actually believes or is it all just for publicity?
He supported the Iraq war. If Obama wins the US makes tracks out of there, maybe at a rate that damages our success. Doesn’t he see that one thing is related to another?”

Hitchens, like some of the conservative morons who endorsed Obama, is counting on Obama not doing what he’s said he’ll do.

If Obama’s actually elected, none of the fools who supported him should be allowed to open their mouths about any of his left wing moves and mistakes without being slammed.

I'm willing to stipulate McCain made a bad one-off analogy to make his point.

Yet, when has Khalidi denounced similar Nazi analogies made against the Israelis on a more consistent basis?

Why is everyone so suprised? Hitchens was a member of the left that disagreed with his fellow travellers on the need to fight the war on terror in Iraq. For that he broke ranks with his comrades and backed Bush.

Iraq has been won, so he is free now to go back to what he naturally is; i.e a creature of the left.

Why is everyone so suprised? I’m amazed it took him as long as he did to go back to what he once was ...

All that booze that Hitchens has consumed has fried his brain.

Hey Hitchens you freaking fool. McCain at least knows what state he is in at any given time. Bet he also knows how many states there are.

Obama is a so called rehab cokehead. He calls it change.
