Unfairenheit 9/11

msn ^ | June 21,2004 | Christopher Hitchens

[Reagan Man]

It wasn't Blankley, it was Tucker "Puke" Carlson.

Carlson's new will have Hitch as a regular contributor.

[spodefly]

If Michael Moore had had his way, Slobodan Milosevic would still be the big man in a starved and tyrannical Serbia. Bosnia and Kosovo would have been cleansed and annexed. If Michael Moore had been listened to, Afghanistan would still be under Taliban rule, and Kuwait would have remained part of Iraq. And Iraq itself would still be the personal property of a psychopathic crime family, bargaining covertly with the slave state of North Korea for WMD. You might hope that a retrospective awareness of this kind would induce a little modesty. To the contrary, it is employed to pump air into one of the great sagging blimps of our sorry, mediocre, celeb-rotten culture. Rock the vote, indeed.

This is gonna be some interesting movie. I can't wait to see it.

[ICX]

Wow. Wow.

Hitchens just EVISCERATES Moore. There's really no other fitting word for it. And to boot, Hitchens calls Moore out for a second go-round behind the podiums. I'd pay good money to see that. One of the best articles I've read in a while.

[woofie]

Wow. I have never seen such a through and complete debunking of a film...

Yep

[Hildy]

I hope this appears in Vanity Fair.

[Howlin]

God I hope so!

How about if I call him a scum sucking pig?

Will that do it for me?

A+ NOT

Bosnia and Kosovo Has been cleansed of Serbs and annexed by the middle east Islamists. Milosevic waged in clean fight, within his own borders, to route Islamists head choppers. He lost to a sellout EU.

Today we fight the same battle in Afghanistan and Iraq. While Clinton continues to 'crow' along with Hitchens, Milosevic is in jail, being tried by a kangaroo court in a trial well into its third year.

When Hitchens talks about Moore, he's talking about himself in the late ninties. What an ass!

U R ON A ROLL

[potlatch]

LOL, a good one!

[Don Joe]

Nice portrait, but I still prefer the Zelda Gilroy look revealed in his younger photo shown on Drudge's front page today.

[Fred Nerks]

No. It has to be something he can prove wasn't true.

"Moore asserts that Iraq under Saddam had never attacked or killed or even threatened (his words) any American. I never quite know whether Moore is as ignorant as he looks, or even if that would be humanly possible."

I have some news for that lying scumbag, Michael Moore. I believe that a US Navy ship was attacked by an Iraqi plane (Saddam Hussein was in charge) during the 1980's.

[Tamzee]

"Moore asserts that Iraq under Saddam had never attacked or killed or even threatened (his words) any American. I never quite know whether Moore is as ignorant as he looks, or even if that would be humanly possible."

Out of all the brilliant and mind-bogglingly funny lines I've read at Free Republic, that last one has to be the best :-)

I think I'll be laughing for a week...

[punster]

"Easy now. I think Moore is part of the movement to bring mentally handicapped people into the work force. You know, like the special olympics but they get paid."

I would put it this way: Moore is part of the movement to bring morally handicapped people into the work force.

[Fred Nerks]

I'll raise the bet. Moore is part of the movement to bring morally handicpapped people into the White House.

[Don Joe]

Except that Goebbels possessed human intelligence, while Moore tops out at animal cunning.

If his perpetually increasing girth is any indication, he's no slouch in the animal appetite department either.

Someone ought to remind him that size isn't everything.
