Quote:But regardless of if you like him or not, please tell me how his sexuality has anything to do with him being right or wrong or the tatics he used?It doesn't. This person finds homosexuality insulting therefore finds it appropriate to use as an insult. The word here is 'bigot'.
Quote:Hitchens... was being mean and hateful for no good reason.Absolutely not. Sometimes Hitchens was mean and hateful. He felt no embarrasment in expressing hate when deserved, he was direct & clear about it when he was being so and he made no apologies for it. But he always had good reason and was articulate in his description.
Quote: <text regarding Hitchens' North Korea analogy>Yup, it was a powerful, descriptive and quietly humourous analogy. It invoked sentiments of contempt, sympathy and derision in equal measure.
Have no fear, your thinking is sound in this regard but all in all, I think you got trolled.
Sum ergo sum
