How can he say that Cindy Sheehan is hysterical?

19. Is That What Hitchens Used to Be?
A Trotskyist? Funny, the Neocons used to be Trotskyists, too. I think we should tell the conservatives that their party has been taken over by a bunch of "commies". That would drive them crazy! :D

18. Sounds like the entire MSM
has been given their instructions from the WH to go after Cindy and protect the Coward in Crawford from her ~

Between Anderson Cooper, and now this. Christipher Hitchens was described perfectly by Gorgeous George. He has a way with words! :rofl:

I meant Galloway, of course, not Hitchens who makes less and less sense and has fewer and fewer facts each time we hear from him. I think he'll probably go the way of Novak one day, only sooner! Well, one can hope.

Thank god I haven't turned the tv on at all tonight. No wonder they are losing their audience. Two thirds of the population support Cindy ~ all they're going to do is get her more support ~ even my Repub relatives support her now ~ she is a real American patriout :patriot:

3. MSNBC should have to get someone for equal time with Howard
Fineman & Hitchens attacking her in such an unmerciful way.

22. Fineman did not really attack her though... He was complimentary of her
influence and importance

5. Why does Howard Fineman
remind me of Steve Correll's character in Ron Burgundy "Anchorman"? (remember the dull, dull, and dullard character?)

10. Uh, because he's a drunken whore/misanthrope?
Even in his supposedly progressive days at The Nation, Hitchens oozed contempt for other people. Why should we be surprised that he practices charater assassination (and with rather tired Fox News-style boilerplate, I might add) on Hardball?

Hitchens has hitched his sorry, inebriated backside to the Bush administration. That says it all about his principles and understanding.

16. I Think He Just Wants to Be With Whoever is Radical...
...just like Ron Silver. I've been noticing this with some people who used to be far-Left. They switched over to the other side because I guess we weren't radical enough for them anymore. I guess these are people who just cannot stand it if they aren't in with the "crazies".

12. Because he's an insecure prick
Edited on Wed Aug-17-05 07:39 PM by K-W
who needs to feel better than compassionate people to avoid dying in a glass of whiskey, and who needs to pay for his next drink by spewing neo-liberal vomit all over the cable networks.

21. He is an alcoholic bastard who parades as a liberal and is actually
deeply racist and reactionary. I cannot understand why Slate wanted him.

23. hitchens is a marked man....
and he did it himself ...
jurassicpork posted something very interesting that he found on kos: here's a snippet
"They describe a President whose public persona masks an angry, obscenity-spouting man who berates staff, unleashes tirades against those who disagree with him and ends meetings in the Oval Office with “get out of here!”"
http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_7218.shtml

damn, but bush is wrecking the careers of some of the vilest human beings that have emerged to promote the son of a bitch...lol

24. Hitchens was bloody awful on Hardball.
He kept calling Cindy hysterical, said she lied, and said that she had no credibility.
