Christopher Hitchens on Think Tank 25-Apr-02 (Part 1)

(Part 1 of 3) Think Tank with Ben Wattenberg Orwell's Century. The year 2003 marks the centennial of author George Orwell's birth. Although Orwell himself disdained what he called "all the smelly little ... all » orthodoxies," both liberal and conservative social critics claim him as a prime influence. Think Tank explores how Orwell's writing shaped the twentieth century's war of ideas. Guests: John Rodden, author of George Orwell, The Politics of Literary Reputation and the forthcoming, George Orwell: Scenes From and Afterlife; and Christopher Hitchens, columnist for The Nation, and author of the forthcoming book, Orwell's Victory.

[@Ragnaros12345]

Wow, I didn't think it would be very bad, but shit. You're right.

[@avion85]

I'm more of a McCartneyist myself.

[@niginit]

read the god delusion and the end of faith to find out what I (a real person) think of you and your kind.
reading the bible can only reduce our ability to comprehend and understand.

Christopher Hitchens speaking or debating is akin to watch Babe Ruth, Micheal Jordan or Brent Farve in their prime.........RIVETING transmission of message with state of the art use of the English language. His books are even more elaborate, but also include a biting honesty that is compelling (wordsmith). My best to Hitch if he reads this....cancer survivors are very common nowadays.....medical science is impressive. English stiff upper lip comes in real handy about now,....this is doable

[@johnclavis]

I don't believe Hitchens describes himself as a communist.

[@niginit]

don't say that, it's ignorant to say the least.
