I have no truck with Hitchen’s adolescent infatuation with Trotsky. When I was a kid, I was intrigued by the Russian Revolution which lead me to interview Kerensky (a janitor in Yorkville, upper Manhattan) and Maria Rasputin (his daughter). As I said in my original post, I don’t agree on a lot of what Hitchen’s believed in. But he may have been on to something with Mother Theresa...

Most of the charges he leveled in the Missionary Position check out. I've tried to hash that out here, including the letter that Charles Keating's victims' lawyer wrote to the MOC pleading for them to return the stolen money that Keating donated to the charity back to it's rightful owners (the letter was ignored by Mother Theresa and the organization).

It goes against the mainstream media impression of her that we all grew up with in such an extreme manner that most people tune it out as simply impossible to believe.

Hitchens was 56 when he uttered those words, hardly an adolescent. To the rational it explains his bigotry, the irrational don't matter. I hope he got right with the Lord but whether he did or didn't his sneering bigotry on Gaia does not seem to be worthy of admiration. But your mileage may vary vary on that.
