Steve Leser's morally bankrupt language... wanted to know if Hitchen's is a media whore. I am shocked by his crude language. (Original Post) Luminous Animal Apr 2016 OP
That was before he was a Hillary supporter, so that's okay. Matt_in_STL Apr 2016 #1

Also, he is a Fox News/Newsmax "pundit" so it is actually a job requirement.

I have never heard that term. I have heard attention whore, but that doesn't seem to fit Hitchen's. My understanding is he writes books or something and if he does then doesn't he have to do what it takes to sell them? What an odd thing to say. OIC Hitchens wasn't anti-war so he was automatically the enemy, so I guess you can then just say any ole' thing and it's okay. I get it I am feeling that way about some people here.

humans in that high of a regard or expect perfection,

considering today's state of affairs, he appears "we the people's" best choice to help ensure we are able to enact the changes needed that is for most of us paramount....

I believe Clinton able and strong enough to do the same, it's her debt I worry about, payment will be expected...and that does not bold well for most Americans...

I can only hope we are not once again being led by background noise...

I guess at this point, I'll believe it when I actually witness the changes bring implemented throughout the US

IMO the whore comment was lazy, plenty of other ways to get that point across..

It was a comment by one of the speakers at the rally. Now frankly, I'm not a fan of that phrase, but the poutrage from the Hillary camp? Way beyond ridiculous.

Read later forgetting that important detail, a lot of people fo that and honestly I'm sorry that I did not make sure that what I thought was in fact not true 😁

I know some are pushing the outrage button for points, I wasn't...

supporters in reference to the use of a term that had before today been widely accepted here on this site. DailyKos posts are often linked here. If I don't want my words used on other websites, I don't share them with the public. That's a real hard spin of a reply.

Is a good guy.
And this thread is hilarious, because as Steve has repeatedly pointed out, every name click you give him, simply increases his name recognition--and trust me, he will survive a little shade thrown from the DU--and helps his career.
