I'm sure he would have appreciated this piece on his entire life. Not in a flattering way, but the knowledge that no one will ever write of your life in such a way as you did for him. People hated him in life, they will hate him dead, and you're just keeping the Hitch train rolling along

A brilliant takedown and a damning indictment of the man himself and also of those among us as Americans who elevate such men to hero status.

Caleb, here is why you are wrong:<br /><br />First, &quot;Ad Hominem&quot; as the internet knows it would be wholly appropriate.

Well done. You have a sense of humor Seko &amp; Ze&#39;evi. Still, correlating &quot;ad hominem&quot; &amp; &quot;anonymity&quot; is a non sequitor. Stick with your forte: comedy.<br /><br />Anonymity makes sense if you&#39;re a Chinese dissident or a Syrian activist, but not if you&#39;re an armchair blogger.

I agree with Caleb Powell. As an empiricist atheist, I&#39;m concerned only with documentable, verifiable phenomena. Unfortunately, not including your name made all of your facts disappear. I clicked on those links and they brought up a page that was just ?????????????????????? and circus music. Please tell me your real name and how much money you earn so I can figure out how smart I&#39;m

How can you be bothered by ad hominem and simultaneously depreciate an editorial because of its pseudonymity? If the first is relevant, then the second one can&#39;t possibly be.<br /><br /><br /><b>No one on this blog is the slightest bit subtle about their hypocrisy.

I agree completely with the poster about anonymity. Hitchens was more complex than this post, and the ad hominem is too distracting.

A fine post. But in the future please push the baseless 9/11 conspiracist accusation down and get right to the shameless implication of anti-Semitism from the get-go. Thanks.

Not bad. Almost there. Good job on the Galloway and Finkelstein cites. Keep that up. Next time, throw in a little 9-11 Truth, a bit more overt slagging on those crafty Je...uh, that is, I mean, Zionists, and link to a video of yourself cooking hotdogs in a hotel bathtub. Then you&#39;ll be ready for HitchensWatch.

ahahahahahaha, this blog used to be so much more relevant back when it specialized in bombarding mediocre grunge bands with pictures of men&#39;s rectums, rather than regurgitating bullshit that originally emanated from the likes of Galloway and Chomsky ahahahahahaha but at least the Hitchens nonsense today is nowhere near as bad as it&#39;s stupifyingly dull essays on football and baseball

I like what I&#39;ve read of Hitchens. I don&#39;t like your writing as much: Too many adjectives, not enough editing. I liked the Mortal Kombat reference though. So there you go.

Thanks for this. I didn&#39;t especially care for Hitch when he was alive - I knew him as guy who occasionally reviewed books I&#39;d never bother with and argued with christians - but the more I hear about the guy, the more odious he becomes.

So many flaws and contradiction in one person. Yet he still managed to publish his stuff under his own name. Which no one who writes on this blog has yet had the courage to do themselves.<br /><br />That&#39;s right, go fuck yourselves. You lost any claim to relevance or accuracy anyway when you used quotes and links from a haji-loving rat like George Galloway.

All you need to know about Hitch, you can glean from his own writing here:<br />http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/fighting_words/2007/06/siege_of_paris.html<br /><br />Mewling about poor, beknighted Paris Hilton, and how awful it was that she should be punished for drunk driving like a normal. Please try not to punch your screen; they are expensive.

Hitchens greatly benefited from the fact that most people, even those who would claim to be fans of his, only saw whatever bits and pieces of him they wanted to see. I would venture to guess that most people&#39;s view of Hitchens was limited to debates they found on Youtube, or books they bought because they agreed with the premise.<br /><br />I was a Hitchens fan for a while, A huge fan
