Hitchens has carved out a reputation for barbed repartee, scathing critiques of Conservative public figures and a fierce lack of intelligence.
I think this is the truth of the statement.

sad news.
prayers for a speedy recovery for C.H.
he’s always thoughtful, entertaining and interesting - even if he’s almost always wrong.

Although I disagree with Hitch about almost everything, he believes in his positions, he isn’t just a parrot for the left. He hits back at liberals when he disagrees with them. He is a fine writer and a formidable debator. I can imagine hanging out with Hitch would be a helluva lot of fun. I wish him well and hope for a full recovery.

I drank scotch with Hitchens at the Freeper Treason is the Reason rally/dinner back in 1998, where he was a featured speaker. He gave a scathing speech reflecting on the never-ending disgrace that was the Clinton administration.
After each example of their corruption and dishonesty he cited, he would rhetorically ask the crowd, Can you eat enough to vomit enough?
He HATED them since he first laid eyes on them and has never failed to shout it drunkenly from the rooftops.
I wish him well.

"British-born author Christopher Hitchens"
Then why put this in the first line of the story?

Now why would you say that? Lots of people who have cancer just get chemo.

I’m glad. Hope they pass it along too. The fact that you are a survivor likely would be an inspiration to him.
Perhaps he would think that it’s just good to know that people care enough to send a note anyway.

Hitch has also been known to knock back a drink or two.

I’m a radiation oncologist. If one is receiving chemotherapy only for esophageal cancer, the horse is out of the barn, so to speak.

maybe because he was born there and still has a British accent and he’s just recently become a US citizen(has duel citizenship)..this from the article
Hitchens was born in Britain, lives in Washington D.C., and retained his British citizenship when he also became an American citizen in 2007.
To: patriot preacher
I pray first for his salvation.. time on this earth is short..eternity is not..
