Who is he?
A more capable big than Matt Bonner.
Doubtful he is relevant enough to wish fire on him the way the masses do Bonner.
Not sure if you're just ing around now. Hitchens was a noted atheist.
As well as a big GW and Iraq war supporter. May he rot in .
I really have never heard of this guy.
Still, I bet there are more posters that wish fire on Bonner
It's because Hitchens trended to the conservative/libertarian ideology. Most liberals can't get out of the "DemocraticUnderground" cesspool.
A very outspoken person, an essayist.
He was quite the militant atheist, so I imagine the usual suspects will say the usual things about that.
Mostly because he was rather good at laying a lot of the worlds evil at the feet of religion, and was not shy about it. "The Nazi party was essentially the right wing of the Catholic church", and so forth.
9-11 truthers hated him too, it seems for similar reasons.
Regardless of one's opinion of him, he was intelligent and quite erudite, and made for some interesting speeches and essays.
I'm sure, since he was a fairly prolific public speaker, one can find some youtube videos.
Seems about right.
You will probably both like and not like this bit.
He dissed Mother Teresa so
I was right. There is a ton of stuff on youtube.
He didn't like Sarah Palin.
Is this that guy that would be on Real Time with Bill Maher from time to time?
CH would be laughing at the irony of you posting, "RIP". He is no more; just a collection of molecules; no resting to be done.
Always liked him.
YOU don't know who Hitchens is?
I'm surprised.
Really? I suspect Blake and Hitch swam in different intellectual pools.
Or, he's slapping his forehead and issuing a string of mea culpas to Mother Theresa and a few others...
Have to fast forward a bit at the beginning.
the man cannot be denied the organic quiescence of his body, even if the man blew away like a puff of smoke at the moment of death.
his body is no longer his own but it is still his, and, atheist that he was, his body was him.
quien sabe, he might have been looking forward to it.
respected/disliked

Mr. Hitchens died a gruesome and painful death. I am sorry for his family and friends and well wishers.
by reputation he was a very charismatic and charming, if unruly, person. he stuck up for atheists and the Iraq war and a host of other unpopular causes. he will be missed. he was a very remarkable person.

his like will not be here again, they used to say in the sweet mother Gaelic
(Myles Na' Gopaleen level of veracity)
I'm sure he'll be the main topic of conversation at my militant atheist winter solstice holiday party.
I suspect you don't know how to swim.
Your su ions are confirming mine.
