It's obvious that he's an individual thinker
who doesn't write this shit just to be liked.
He's just being honest with himself,
while others take notice.

What's so great about being an individual thinker if your "individual" thoughts are that we should go around invading countries to "free" them. Why does Reason feel the need to associate with a self proclaimed Trotskyist chicken hawk?

because's he's far more interesting and influential than the rigors of comic book geek ideological purity allow for.

As a rightwing fan of his,I almost wish he'd rejoin the Trots.Without an ideological foundation,he's become a sad vaudeville turn.People think Drew Barrymore is pretty,Chris the Idol Smasher says she's not.People think the Marx Brothers are funny,Hitchens is there to correct them.His style is full of the affectations he once deplored in the writings of George Will and Paul Johnson,including introductory quotes in foreign languages(hasn't that Oxford degree been fully amortized yet?).

Sorry, trying to write Hitchens-style with the glass in the other hand.
