Christopher Hitchens Rips Wanda Sykes: "The Black **** Got It Wrong" (HuffPo)

[Jackeens]

Buried at the end of Chris Rovzar and Jada Yuan's fantastic White House Correspondents' Association Dinner party report is an incendiary quote from Christopher Hitchens about the evening's entertainment, comedienne Wanda Sykes:

"The president should be squirming in his seat. Not smiling," he said. "The black dyke got it wrong. No one told her the rules."

Rovzar and Yuan note that Hitchens was the "last man (barely) standing" of the evening.

Scumbag.

[jgraz]

1. I liked Hitchens better when he was being waterboarded.

Can we try that again?

[spoony]

38. Sounds like he's doing it recreationally but with Jack Daniels

instead of water.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

48. That would be too good for him.

[emulatorloo]

2. I would love to know his blood alcohol level. More alcohol than blood no doubt. EOM

[ErinBerin84]

3. Hitchens is an absolute sloppy , disgusting fool.

[baldguy]

4. For a fair, sober assessment of any subject - go to Christopher Hitchens.

:sarcasm: :rofl:

[firedupdem]

5. Funny how people say "black" like it's an insult. Drunk, nasty,

pig.

[Political Tiger]

8. If it was a white, straight person

would he say that "white hetero got it wrong?" Of course not! Bigots don't see people of color and other minorities as human beings, but as categories.

[firedupdem]

12. Exactly. n/t

[Number23]

21. That's exactly right.

"Black" is the original insult in this country. Though Mexican and "Muslin" seem to be catching up...

[Reterr]

36. Disgusting as always

Ugh....

[vaberella]

23. +1...I just stated. Something I've noted as well. n/t

[Number23]

24. True that. And it's a shame because for every thing Hitchens does that I give him major props for

he turns around and does some ignorant isht like this.

[Cha]

6. How the fuck does chrisnitchens presume

to speak for our President?

The "rules" are fucking out the window when limpbaugh needs a scolding.

What a snoutrage.

[glitch]

7. Christopher Hitchens still a mindless soulless self-indulgent self-satisfied zombie creep, who knew?

Ok, everybody. Still, good to be reminded, thanks for posting.

[John Q. Citizen]

9. Hitchens does know a lot about getting it wrong.

[rasputin1952]

10. Hitchens ia a WMD...light a match near the fool and you'll take out

15 city blocks. The guy is worthless, knows it, and finds what little "courage" he has in a bottle.

[stevenleser]

11. Well, now we know what the gin-soaked-popinjay crowd thinks

Hitchens gets it badly wrong about 50% of the time (I dont know if that reflects before drinking, in the midst, or coming down from). When he gets it right, you are almost afraid to accept the endorsement. I was glad he was for Obama, but man, I wasnt about to brag about it to anyone.

This is a racist and homophobic remark and he should apologize IMMEDIATELY.

[burning rain]

15. Most of these apologies people make foir their remarks are phoney....

and more than anything make me feel contempt in addition to whatever other negative impressions I have. It would be particularly so in Hitchens' case given how articulate and deliberate he is in his speech.

[Old Hank]

13. People like Hitchens, Perez Hilton, etc. disgust me. Women deserve respect

It is a shame that in the 21th century, we still have people with this middle-age mentality against women.

[MadMaddie]

14. This is what I have been waiting for it was only a matter of time

We won't hear any outrage about Hitchens comment just as we haven't about all of the other right wing hate mongers....The N word is coming folks...prepare yourself.

[CakeGrrl]

17. THAT'S what's really bugging them about it. The uppity black insulting the white guy

Never mind that the white guy in question truly IS a treasonous, drug-addled bloviator. But a BLACK person better not call him out.

The only reason he called out Wanda's race is because it's bothering him. Homophobia is heavy on his mind too. What an ass.

[ecstatic]

22. exactly! nt

[Number23]

25. Welcome to our world

You hit the nail squarely on the head. In the minds of many, it is absolutely irrelevant that Rush is every single one of the things that Wanda said he was.

The fact that this gay BLACK WOMAN had the audacity to say these things is what will have them up in arms.

[MadMaddie]

27. Bingo!! The unmasking of the Republican party is almost

complete....Hutchins is a loser but in his drunken stupor he spoke exactly what was on his mind and others like him.

[firedupdem]

28. CakeGrrl!

A friend of mine just called and said the same thing! She was saying how amazed she is at how many people are coming out in defense of that pig! The problem is with Wanda calling him out! Anybody else could have done it but not a black person....and she's gay too! Whoa! That's getting waaaaay too uppity!

[ruggerson]

37. I take it more as the uppity WOMAN

I think the guy is a fucked up sexist before he's anything else. He obviously hates strong women.

[Patsy Stone]

16. Have another drink, Chris.

:eyes:

What an asshole.

[msanthrope]

18. I hope his liver fails. n/t

[AspenRose]

19. !

:spray:

[firedupdem]

30. +1 n/t

[Dr.Phool]

34. Fuckin' A right!

[vaberella]

20. Cause she can't just be a dyke...she's a BLACK dyke.

I love how racists use Black as an insult before adding any other insulting terms. "Black "something something"" always makes shit even that much worse. Don't get me wrong...the "dyke" comment is below reproach. But you'll notice he had to stress what she is, by using Black, in front of it. It's a coded double insult. Racist coded language.

[demwing]

46. I gotta disagree regarding "coded language"

because that was as open and blatant as it comes.

[mrs_p]

26. he's just jealous, really

why else use that language. he wants to demean her in the only way he knows how -- he can't go for her intellect or for the truth -- so he thinks he is cutting her down with code words. he's just like any other disgusting republican.

[Paladin]

29. Drunken, Brain-dead Lout....... (n/t)

[ibegurpard]

31. i thought he was dead

n/t

[Teaser]

40. he is long dead, but his mouth somehow still works.

.

[msanthrope]

43. He's not dead, just pickled....n/t

[Stellabella]

32. Fuck you, Hitchens.

Now go away.

[Dr.Phool]

33. I betcha Wanda could do a better job on Snitchens, than Rush.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

35. Hitchens is a bloviating ego masquerading as a human

Everything with him is shameless self-promotion. He may have gotten some things right over his years as a commentator but even a broken clock is right twice a day

[Teaser]

39. Isn't it time for his liver to blow?

Seriously, that fucking pickled slab of meat must be working at, what, 5% capacity by now...

[BeyondGeography]

41. England is missing an asshole

Go home already, Hitch.

[Jackeens]

42. Not sure they could cope with a second Hitchens asshole!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Hitchens

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

44. Sure, because the white fat drunk never "gets it wrong". Hey dickhead how's that Iraq invasion

working out for ya?

[Boomerang Diddle]

45. He's Rush Limbaugh with an English accent. n/t

[dionysus]

47. so spaketh the gin soaked poppinjay...

:rofl:
