Christopher Hitchens: Barack Obama is no Martin Luther King
2008-04-08 23:46:00 The so-called black leaders who Barack Obama used to acquire his black political identity, and from whom he does not distance, are certainly no disciples of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. They are races hustlers. Christopher Hitchens, makes a bold assertion, “Today, the national civil rights pulpit is largely occupied by second-rate shakedown artists:” Further, Hitchens makes it stick.

Hillary's Mask Of Lies
2008-04-01 18:33:00 This is why I love about hirsute now hairless atheist Christopher Hitchens (left).There are two kinds of deliberate and premeditated deceit, commonly known as suggestio falsi and suppressio veri. (Neither of them is covered by the additionally lying claim of having "misspoken.") The first involves what seems to be most obvious in the present case: the putting forward of a bogus or misleading account of events. But the second, and often the more serious, means that the liar in question has also attempted to bury or to obscure something that actually is true.

Christopher Hitchens' identity crisis
2008-03-28 05:54:00 Recent online discussions about Obama and the race factor, prompted me to revisit a Hitchens column ,"identity crisis", that appeared in Slate in January.Hitchens' objections to placing "emphasis on shade" makes it ironic that he sort of does. In a reference to Obama he says - "And why is a man with a white mother considered to be "black," anyway?"That's hardly the point. The point is that Obama has chosen to articulate himself as African-American. Nor incidentally is Obama's African-American identity easily pigeonholed, despite Hitchens' best efforts with Trinity United - "a sub-standard and shade oriented place."Then we we get this:"Last week happened to be the week that the nation of Kenya—birthplace of Obama's father—was convulsed by a political war that contained ghastly overtones of violent and sadistic tribalism. It would sound as absurd to a Kenyan to hear praise for a black candidate as it would sound to most of my European readers to hear a recommendation of a "g...

Any guy who submits to full-body waxing (sac, back & crack) isn't going to let a mere hangover cramp his acerbic style.

Coluna de Christopher Hitchens na revista Época
2008-02-04 21:08:00 Repostado de Época.Está na hora de os EUA abolirem a CIAA CIA acaba de dar credibilidade ao regime mentiroso do Irã.Parece improvável que o presidente George W. Bush tenha tomado conhecimento do relatório da CIA, sua agência de inteligência, sobre as ambições nucleares iranianas só alguns dias antes de nós. Mas sua reação mostra que ele pode estar dizendo a verdade. Afinal, se o governo soubesse há mais tempo que os mulás haviam apertado o botão “pausa” no fim de 2003, poderia alegar que a deposição de Saddam Hussein impressionou os iranianos tanto quanto os líbios, fazendo-os reconsiderar sua vontade de desafiar o tratado de não-proliferação de armas.Visto que a verificação do imenso estoque da Líbia também revelou o comércio nuclear paquistanês, a remoção de Saddam do tabuleiro teve mais efeito para conter o comércio ilegal de armas de destruição em massa do que se acredita.Ninguém sabe o que fez as agências de inteligência americanas mudar ...

Al Sharpton To Bill Clinton: Shut Up!

Hitchens - A Rebuttal
2007-12-06 08:28:00 Christopher Hitchens has written a masterpiece of idiocy and foolishness on The Slate. This shows the true triumph of distorted ideas and baseless convictions in the face of evidence, logic or scholarship. I haven't laughed so much in ages. In fact, since I really don't like Chanukah, this is probably the best thing that has happened all week!This rebuttal of what Christopher Hitchens says is only scratching the surface of his mistakes and errors. But I have to leave room for others as well.The basis of his arguments is that Chanukah celebrates the triumph of theocratic darkness against the enlightenment of Greek philosophy and science. He obviously didn't go to cheder, or to history class, because this is the opposite of what historical records show.Although there are claims that Alexander the Great was a student of Aristotle and a philosopher in his own right, no such claims are extended to Antiochus IV Epiphanes. He was the first king to declare himself to be a god, and was co...

Wax And Pain
2007-11-08 14:56:00 NYDN Rush & Molloy: Be thankful Graydon Carter isn't your boss. The Vanity Fair honcho ordered columnist Christopher Hitchens to get a makeover for the October issue, after which Hitchens felt more like a POW than well-kempt gentleman. The Brit endured six hours of dental rejuvenation and some manscaping thanks to a "sack, back and crack" wax. Says Hitchens: "The combined effect was like being tortured for information you do not possess." I wrote about this before. I thought the hirsute Hitchens volunteered for this tour of duty. Perhaps they sprung the waxing on him AFTER he got to the spa. Maybe he was characteristically drunk. It hurts. Remember Steve Carell in "40-Year-Old Virgin"? Part One of Hitchens's spa torture tactics here. Silver lining: the pain wanes straight away. It's all hype. Here's the self-destructive Hitchens smoking in the shower. Note the missing chest hair.

Christopher Hitchens : Militant Atheist?
2007-10-17 21:11:00 ?Myers says Hitchens wasn't noticeably drunk, so he doesn't have his usual excuse for inexcusable behavior, such as in this previous instance. In any event, such antics are the logical extension of his increasingly warlike thought. This ex-Trotskyist, whose support for militant secularism led him to idolize the founder and first commander of the Red Army, has gone so over the top with his crusade against all religion that he has come to advocate wiping out entire populations. "Demolish it!" he said, when asked about Iran ? with apparently no more moral compunctions about the slaughter of the innocent than one might normally exhibit toward a swarm of midges.??Hitchens is quite clearly marketing himself as a contemporary Robert Ingersoll, the spokesman for atheism and secularism in the English-speaking world, although, clearly, looking at the bestseller list, he has a lot of competition for that title. If someone with that kind of a public platform should use his status to spread an...

I think I learned that I should lie less. But there were times where it was just exhausting because I have a three-year-old kid, and you can?t tell him, ?Uh, sorry, the TV?s broken?. You have to say, ?No, you can?t watch TV because I don?t want you to,? and so there?s screaming, there?s crying, and he gets upset too.ANDELMAN: I think at one point he wanted a bagel, and you tried to convince him it was an English muffin.

Personally I detest organized religion. It's corrupt mind control and a life crutch for the teeming, clueless, hypocritical masses too weak to think for themselves. The Bible is nothing more than interesting fiction. I am not an atheist and have unilaterally cultivated a strong spiritual relationship with God as I perceive him or her.

Christopher Hitchens gets his bottom spanked!
2007-06-06 02:45:00 How did this happen? Al Sharpton is a genuinely decent man but he’s not the sharpest tool in the box. I could have made a better debate of it than Hitchens and that’s saying something. This was basic stuff. I’ve read ‘God is not great’ and it’s a brilliant book. Hitchens just lost the plot in this one. I disagree with much of what Hitchens says on politics for example but he’s normally very assured in this kind of debate and rarely gets spanked like this. Am I being too harsh on him? Maybe I expected too much. It’s not that he ‘lost’ the debate, it’s just that he missed every opportunity to make a good case.
