I think Christopher Hitchens' ad hominem against Mel Gibson damages his own credibility. He comes off as a hate-filled fanatic with a personal ax to grind. There's plenty to criticize about Gibson without resorting to this kind of attack.

Not as much as his attacks on Mother Teresa. Hard to top that.

BINGO. Ad Hominem and more revealing about Hitchens than it is about Mel Gibson.

I like Hitch in general, but he HATES religion. This is a guy who once wrote a hit piece on Mother Teresa!
