Hey low posters-if you mention Nader or Hitchins-all hell breaks loose.

[European Socialist]

I found out the hard way. Even if you are not praising them. So don't be a fool!

1. ..okey dokey..

:popcorn:

[BamaLefty]

2. Nader 2000!

Oh shit. :cry:

[pocket]

3. Hitchens?

Christopher or Peter?

[European Socialist]

7. Chis Hitchens-I think your spelling is right.

[William769]

4. Nader SUCKS!!!

5. There are a few subjects that will wake the gang up. I once stumbled

upon one. It was like saying Candyman 3x. All hell broke loose. I could not take it back. I just had to wait for the adults to show up and lock.

6. Just don't say Christopher Bitchens

Somebody might get offended...

[longship]

9. Oh! That drunken Sot!

Let's see if that gets the lock bot runnin'.

:woohoo:

15. Son of a Theocrat?

8. damn i missed the christopher hitchins thread..

:P

[Merlot]

13. Can someone enlighten me on hitchens?

really, just the facts...I'm curious to know why he's so controviersial

nader, yeah, that one I know...

[jonnyblitz]

14. he is a lapsed trotskyist who now supports Bush

he also had an obsession with hating Clinton and used to write for the Nation magazine but left (i think) around the time he started supporting Bush. he is too complicated a person to give you an accurate brief rundown about. he is also british.

on edit: he also writes for Vanity Fair.

16. Hitch is a pro-Bush war scumbag. "The Nation" gave him his walking papers

a few years ago. If Dennis Miller was a drunken Brit he'd be Hitch's twin.

[jonnyblitz]

17. oh they fired him? i thought he quit...

i have an anti-mother theresa book by him called Missionary Position also. that was a big hit. :P

[oasis]

18. I think it was more a mutual seperation.

[oasis]

20. In 2003 he was on a discussion panel at the Times/UCLA Book Festival. He

was peeved when we cheered Arianna Huffington's comments so he flipped off the crowd. No class that guy.

[jonnyblitz]

21. that doesn't surprise me at all...the right has embraced him. nt

[bonito]

10. Don't be a fool

For not opening your mouth, I think thats more important, You might be corrected, enlightened or you might stand firm in your opinion, there's allot of good people here, feel comfortable.

[texanwitch]

11. I know of another topic, but I don't know if it would get the same

reaction on DU as on other websites. :eyes:

[Cleita]

12. Nader is always a sore subject. Hitchens really isn't cool.

What can I say.

[DBoon]

19. And if you mention both?

What then?

Is that like Godzilla vs. Mothra?

[niallmac]

22. Don't suggest the Dalai Lama should sell thru Ticketmaster either.

Ugly crowd collects around that thread.
