Hitches/Galloway debate is on right now

[CatWoman]

on CSpan 2.

Hitchens sure is getting booed a lot

[Glenda]

1. Sorry I've not been paying attention

but who is the Hitchens guy?

I am a fan of Galloway ever since the he slammed Norm COleman

Is there another DU thread describing Hitchens or what this debate is about?

On edit - and thanks for alerting me to the debate - I'm watching it now!

:pals:

[Glenda]

4. Oh HITCHENS!!! He was on the Daily Show!

I remember now! The drunk!

[nodehopper]

5. hitchens wrote the Trials of Henry Kissinger

he is a confused journalist and political pundit, he wrote this amazing expose of Kissinger's war crimes but also supported the war in Iraq and coined the term "islamofascism"

8. Watching it for the second time this morning with my coffee.

What a way to give me some energy for the day...caffine + Galloway = BAM!!!

[Glenda]

9. Wow! He tells us like it is, doesn't he? n/t

[U4ikLefty]

13. Yeah, I just wish that Kerry had some of that Jazz during the debates.

Oh well, can't live in the past.

[Glenda]

14. OMG! Can you imagine the eye-blinking and jaw-twitching and

scowling and lurching that chimpy would have done if Kerry debated like this! Not to mention the smoke would start coming out of his ears!

Oh, now the moderator is correcting hitchens cuz he doesn't know what he is talking about. Also, why is hitchens wearing a casual half-unbuttoned shirt to this debate? Isn't it sort of a formal thing?

while I completely disagree with Hitchens, I love his metephors

34. Hitchens is an empty vessel

Hitchens has a lovely command of the language, but notice that, while he is articulate, nothing he says has any passion or substance. What phrase that he uttered during this debate will stick in your mind? While Galloway, equally articulate, spoke passionately and eloquently and will be remembered.

Christopher Hitchens is a degenerate who makes a living spewing multsyllabic empty phrases parroting whatever side he happens to be on that day. He became a Bushevic because he saw the left was out of power and his fortune lay in supporting the neocons. Watch how fast he changes his tune next November when we take back the House AND the Senate . . .

[SOS]

35. Puzzling too

how exactly Hitchens makes a living.
People left of center can't stand him and the Fox News audience can't understand him.
He's a propagandist without an audience.

[DS1]

15. Hitchens is such a walking assfuck, paraphrased "we should invade Iraq

because he was trying to buy off the shelf weapons from North Korea"

Hello asshole! How about shutting down the source, you fucking moron fuck!

[CatWoman]

16. did you hear his jerk ass comments about Colin Powell's

revelation that his UN speech sullied his reputation?

Hitchens is such a Bush whore. He exhibits all the whore traits.

Attack anyone who doesn't agree with their Iraq Disaster.

[DS1]

19. But Saddam was a bad man

shit, I'm surprised the rightwing news media didn't rename him Saddamn, as I only made a typo to that effect.

and I hate how Hitchens can't keep his fucking mouth shut when it's not his turn to speak, Galloway doesn't do that, but Hitchens is always trying to be funny, and he's not. He's fucking chump ass motherfucker, and I'm enjoying watching his ass get beat down.

[Glenda]

17. I have to mute when he's on n/t

[DS1]

18. Don't do that

the head in the sand approach can only hurt you, no matter how much you loathe hearing what he has to say - he's saying it

[DS1]

20. ARE YOU LYING IN 91? OR ARE YOU WRONG NOW?

:rofl:

[DS1]

21. haha even Hitchens' MICROPHONES are TWISTED!

if you look

[CatWoman]

22. wow

now he's attacking the audience!!!

[DS1]

23. YES !! GALLOWAY JUST FUCKING OWNED!!!!!!!

You are a mouthpiece for those that can't even pick up THEIR OWN DEAD!!
WHAT ABOUT BARBARA BUSH! WHO SAYS IT'S A GOOD DEAL FOR THOSE IN THE ASTRODOME!

YOU'RE A COURT JESTER! (HITCHENS) NOT AT CAMELOT, BUT AT THE COURT VON BUSHES! THE MARIE ANTIONETTE OF MODERN DAY POLITICS!

[DS1]

24. Htichens getting laughed at

Doesn't want this debate televised, talking about rebuilding, water/sewage and all that / gloating about Army Corps of Engineers, rebuilding this and that

paraphrasing Hitchens
Don't even think about shutting Hitchens up, his words don't require our endorsement. We should all simmer down. You can't shut up Hitchens. Road building leads to peace, with small roads you build terrorism, the state needs to build bigger roads.

[leftchick]

25. hitchens looks like SHIT!

I mean even more than usual! :puke:

[DS1]

26. THAT ASSHOLE HITCHENS IS NOW

breathing heavily in his mike while Galloway talks, fuckign right wing fuck!

[DS1]

27. Asshole Hitchens just got booed on his closing statements

bood big time, now getting heckled

[CatWoman]

28. hahahahahaha

:rofl:

He killed me the way he kept attacking the audience :rofl:

[DS1]

29. Yet, the one thing I remember is how our own WillPitt didn't

sign books for money, and in fact, encouraged people to give away his books for free, just to spread the word.

[kcass1954]

31. And dontcha just love how he had to throw Michael Moore's name in there?!?

Newsflash to Hitchins and the rest of the RW asshats - Michael Moore has zero influence on me. NONE!!! He's made some great films, and he and I share many of the same ideals. But he is not now nor has he ever been a factor in my politics and opinions.

[DS1]

32. too true

I don't give a shit what MM thinks, he just happens to agree with me now and then, and make me laugh in doing so

[helderheid]

30. thanks - that was great!

[kerry-is-my-prez]

33. Heads Up:This repeats at 5:30 am

for those who know how to work their VCRS or DVDS.

[kittykitty]

36. And Hitchens shirt soaked with sweat in the armpits!
