Hey low posters-if you mention Nader or Hitchins-all hell breaks loose. |
|
I found out the hard way. Even if you are not praising them. So don't be a fool!

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.

14. he is a lapsed trotskyist who now supports Bush |
|
Edited on Mon Aug-22-05 09:29 PM by jonnyblitz
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.

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.

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.
