christopher hitchens has passed away at the age of sixty-two he was diagnosed
with a staff of all cancer uh... back and twenty ten
and um... you know he passed away as a result of that cell at everyone is
talking about his act out today and of course there op eds everywhere about it
you know these stories are is difficult to cover because where the business of
commentary and i feel
we're commenting on it right at me
yeah look relatively of all people who would not have minded you comedy on
their lives it would be christopher hitchens rate
the ocean my guess is knowing his life you are welcome
so
obviously the good the bad uh...
you know he started out protesting the vietnam
uh... worst totally in favor of civil rights
but supporter of the iraq war
but a supporter of the rav four so you got your up so you got your downs
he was in maddening on the rack
war so long
so insistent
that he got the actually for the first time sympathize
with religious people that he uh... debates with
this he you know i of course that usually right on the religious issues
usta
he called himself at a_t_t_ s bombing last april we agree really
a largely said some things we disagree on there
uh... but he's so smart but not you know and when he was so wrong and iraq war
but i thought that the rose people need to be it must go
thought this guy's smugness his plan
parable rate
always that had to do what are the state of mind about everything parts
he was a character map that i i love characters people who live their lives
fully when you went to an event with christopher hitchens which i did but i'm
just getting this from
newsday accounts of and people that newman center
union christopher hitchens in the rover
anything new that you have an interesting conversation
on that alone
okay
uh... that's a kind i'm in favor of the month of course but the report is that i
agree with you as a
this is a with us on iraq i thought he was very helpful on iraq
that's life
and uh...
and and christopher since with the fully
and uh... and i appreciate his contribution
for the fall
you know that we have been and discussion the conversations that we had
our weather was in the u_k_ or here in the u_s_
the green orders
right and you know he was i'm very well-known writers while you're up for
so many different publications including harbors washington calls huffington post
uh... that'd be fair
and you know he was asked whether that paraphrase if that happens quote in
front of me abuse asked once you know what motivates me to be a writer what
motivates you to be a journalist
in a sense
and he says that have to depend on other people to give me the names
uh... and i walked back well right because if you will by an intellectual
if you wanna see picture of you can do it yourself
yet
look and
almost always in the fear of a guy
who if i'm going to room with them
that will try to make those come on let's begin intellectual fight
mhm instead but wid trade fight and
enough to spark conversation
uh... let's do it right so
restrictions at the recipes that uh... if you and i a right
uh... you're asking you
not exists
so first was this past that's that's one of the things i mean no
and yes and you wouldn't want to say about some of them someone one of the
main things people overboard since there from eleven
and being so far
the first couple of love
phone wouldn't wonder if he's right around november
yet while the fit
well the of course if you were right that he doesn't know because
who've don
end of this right
and there's no there's not even at the second ago all over that i was right
about noses caustic
but that they stuff of
but on the other hand too
you know you're available of you know hesitant to talk about his life itself
and should not only would christopher is not fair into when he was alive
but now that he's ethnic he said that we believe
susan opens this week that whatever access what you said out of afterward
right
but i think
so an interesting character no dia
