I’ve said goodbye to a champion of logic, Christopher Hitchens, who has cancer.

“Hitler’s Auschwitz & Bush’s Abu Ghraib epitomize Christianity. Christians are cowardly hypocrites who travel in packs like wild dogs, but are without the loyalty. Islamists are extremely dangerous fools because, unlike the Christians, they believe the dogma. Judaism is the study of diversion, coercion, and manipulation. Jews are the alpha predators because their Gods are money and power. They use these Gods to pit the Christians and Islamists against themselves as well as each other.” – Bob Miller

Notes: Christopher Eric Hitchens (born 13 April 1949) is an English-born author and journalist. His books, essays, and journalistic career have spanned more than four decades, making him a public intellectual and a staple of talk shows and lecture circuits. He has been a columnist and literary critic at The Atlantic, Vanity Fair, Slate, World Affairs, The Nation, Free Inquiry, among others, and became a media fellow at the Hoover Institution in September 2008.

Known for his admiration of George Orwell, Thomas Paine, and Thomas Jefferson, and for his excoriating critiques of Mother Teresa, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Henry Kissinger, among others, his confrontational style of debate has made him both a lauded and controversial figure.

On 30 June 2010, Hitchens postponed his book tour for Hitch-22 to undergo treatment for metastatic esophageal cancer that has spread to his lymph nodes and lungs. He first made the announcement of his diagnosis in Vanity Fair magazine. In August, Hitchens discussed his diagnosis with Anderson Cooper on CNN. He told Cooper that the long term prognosis is far from positive and that when you use cigarettes and alcohol, which he has used heavily, you “make yourself a candidate” for the disease. Hitchens also noted the irony that, when suffering from cancer, a patient is referred to as “battling cancer”, and opined that the lack of action during which one is receiving treatment is “passive”.[ READ MORE ]
