Thread Name: Obit: Christopher Hitchens- curmudgeon
Subject: RE: Obit: Christopher Hitchens- curmudgeon
I'm amused at all the liberal hypocrisy going on here spoken by people who were so against the Iraq War that they were ready to slay anyone who supported it on sight. Such supporters are, after all, just a bunch of redneck, Christian, Bush-loving thugs.

But when someone they hold in high esteem for being an atheist--Hitchens--goes and says he supports that war and the man who broke every law in the book to wage it, "oh--he was really a great guy. I don't expect to be in agreement with him on everything, you know."

Just what ARE your convictions?? What ones WON'T you sell down the river to maintain your little cult of personality worship of this good ol' curmudgeon?

Why tell me that his arguments are necessary because of the wars started by religion when the man who utters those arguments supports the very wars you tell me his arguments are supposed to prevent??? What is wrong with you that you would rather expose yourselves as hypocrites so that you don't have to call him one??
