I never get where people see that. He seems both brutally honest and remarkably polite at the same time to me. Hitchens seemed more of an asshole than Dawkers, in my book.

It's not dickish to call ignorant people ignorant. And we're ALL ignorant about something.
He's made it very clear repeatedly that when he says "ignorant" he means literally ignorant, that we're all ignorant about something and it's nothing to be ashamed of.
Even when he says things that are so-called assholish he's still bending over backwards to make it clear what he means and be as polite as he can. Can't say I blame him when he gets genuinely frustrated and pissed off when moronic fucktards can't even see how hard he's trying to be polite even when he goes out of his way to do that when they don't deserve it.
And, I've never known Dawkins call anyone a "moronic fucktard". I'm a really nice guy, and he's more polite than I am.
