Thread Name: Obit: Christopher Hitchens- curmudgeon
Subject: RE: Obit: Christopher Hitchens- curmudgeon
My opinions are only that. I could care less if you agree with them. If you supported Bush and his war, you
ARE a fuckhead. I did not say you are a fuckhead if you liked Hitchens but you have tarnished yourself in my eyes which shouldn't bother you unless you really care that much what I think of you and you shouldn't because I don't care what you think of me.

All that said, there are a few things that so go against everything I stand for as a human being that if you support them, I cannot support you no matter how close we may be on every other issue. One of those things is the Iraq war. It was an incredible abuse of power that has been nothing but a huge disaster and made me feel disgusted to be an American. If you support it, you support the Abu Ghraib torture, you support the murder of Abeer Hamza and her entire family by US Marines, you support the deaths of 100,000 Iraqi civilians through sectarian and terrorist violence, you support the unbeliavable amount of contractor fraud and thievery. You are NOT a morally developed human being!!!!

To say, "Other than his stance on the Iraq War, Hitchens was a great guy" is to me like saying, "Other than the fact that he regarded non-white people as subhumans more closely related to chimpanzees than to Homo sapiens, he was a great guy." NO--HE'S NOT!!
