It's so shocking to me to hear this level of intelligence and thoughtfulness on US politics not only from Hitchens but also many of his callers from average America, at the height of a scandalous period of US politics. Today, the discourse is truly trash. No question. We have lost intelligence so utterly that there is no coming back. I'm glad these shows have been preserved to show what we have lost.

David Philip Schippers Jr. (November 4, 1929 - September 28, 2018) was chief investigative counsel for the House Judiciary Committee during the Clinton Impeachment trial. The committee was holding an inquiry on whether President Bill Clinton had committed impeachable offenses in his handling of the Paula Jones sexual harassment suit, during which he committed perjury regarding his affair with then-White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Schippers was a lifelong Democrat. On December 10, 1998, Schippers said to the committee: "The President, then, has lied under oath in a civil deposition, lied under oath in a criminal grand jury. He lied to the people, he lied to his Cabinet, he lied to his top aides, and now he's lied under oath to the Congress of the United States. There's no one left to lie to."

Simply put, we will never see another individual quite like him. Independently-educated, and an alumnus of Balliol College, he worked for several news organisations and travelled the world as a war correspondent, giving him the breadth and experience of various cultures. He was also a voracious reader and writer. I just cannot imagine any Millenial or Gen-Zer emerging as the next Hitchens. Alex O'Conner comes close but does not have the travels nor real world experience to match (yet?).

You have to ask yourself if when those Hitchens antagonists hang up they really believe they have successfully admonished him. They are either inarticulately verbose or just inarticulately struggle for words in their criticisms. I'm fairly confident that none of them listened to his replies or if they did they can add masochism to the lists of their defects.

8:40 ... I'm a graduate of the United States Merchant Marine Academy, Selden The Merchant Marine in the 1980s. This man lied about his War record. I served with no particular distinction, but this man practiced Stolen Valor. ******( Questions were raised in 1997 about the life of Lawrence, and President Clinton ordered an investigation into whether Lawrence had lied about his military service in World War II.[citation needed] Congressional investigators searched military records and could not corroborate Lawrence's claims of wartime service in the Merchant Marine with the alleged rank of Seaman First Class, or presence during the torpedoing of the ship SS Horace Bushnell. It was later learned that he was in fact enrolled in college during the time periods that he claimed to have served in the Merchant Marine. On December 12, 1997, at the request of Lawrence's widow, his body was disinterred and taken to California. He was then buried in the El Camino Memorial Park, Sorrento Valley, San Diego. Metzler and West stated that Lawrence would have qualified for a waiver for burial at Arlington because he had served as an ambassador.

During this election I heard many people lament on what wonderful POTUS Bill was and how they believed Hillary would do a good job because he would be at her side... I don't understand the short memory of the public. I'm not sure what year this interview was - but I noticed many of the things you said have been regurgitated by the left this election as well. I absolutely cannot understand how those on the left can follow these people so blindly. I did notice one thing during the debates, Hillary was so polished in her speaking that I could understand why no one 'heard' what she said. She did a lot of double speak without saying anything. I am more than thrilled that she lost this election and truly hope the 'going in' Administration looks deeply into their past and is able to find solid proof to bring charges. I believe the corruption within DC goes so deep that prosecution of the Clinton's would cause such an upset - in that so many would be called into account, that we might be hard pressed to recover from.

Trump is likely slightly more corrupt than the Clintons, considering the corruption in regard to Trump University and the now-obvious collusion with Russia to steal the election.

Why is it so hard for people in KZbin comments just to say, in the first person, that they miss a dead person? Why this fad of "So-and-So is missed" instead of "I miss So-and-So"? Especially in comments on videos of Christopher Hitchens, it seems like the kind of thing that would annoy him. Imagine the silliness if he had said not "I dislike Mr. Clinton" but the vague, indirect, and transparently coy "Mr. Clinton is disliked."

I love Hitchens; however, he constantly misses an implicit meaning in "well that is your opinion". The full thought reads: 'Well that is your opinion and not fact." I believe it may be intentional that he ignores the natural implicit end. It may be that he uses his standard counter to dismiss his detractors. I think him far too intelligent to simply miss this. Of course, the statement is polysemic and it is possible Hitchens is not flawless.
@needicecream100
@needicecream100 9 жыл бұрын
I doubt he misses that. I'd say it's more likely that he expects the listener to know when he is stating facts and when he is stating his opinion. Normally it's easy to distinguish between the two, so to point out that somebody is stating their opinion is redundant. The intention is usually to make the person's opinion appear to be no more valid than anybody else's (ie- that's YOUR opinion, but this guy here has another one, and this girl another, etc). I think that's what gets Hitchens' goat.

Then what they should say is "you're facts are wrong." To attack someone who is giving his opinion on grounds that it is merely his opinion is a tautology, or a restatement of the thing itself. It also ignores the fact that Hitchens in many of the things he expresses his opinion on is a leading expert. My opinion might weigh no more than your opinion, but Hitch's opinion falls in a different category.

They mention Koresh and Milosovic and the impeachment, so about 1998 or 99.

Love Hitchens, but amazed he spent so much energy trying to get to the bottom of an affair. He would have had an aneurysm with Trump and his administration.

If you delve a little deeper you'll discover that Hitchens believed that the affairs (plural) and Clinton's handling of them revealed his deeply flawed and crooked nature, which is clearly relevant to his suitability to be president.

One thing Hitchens notices: the lack of criticism of Clinton's presidency... the increasing apathy and detachment about politics... What this hides is the ongoing corruption of all the people in the world not just America. The fact is: the worsening of corruption in politics is only a SYMPTOM of the general worsening of the moral and ethical decay throughout the entire world of humans... And that condition: This universal worsening condition is not noticed by anyone inside civilization because all of you are inside it: not outside it. I am outside civilization.... I have been developing my perspective on civilization, outside of civilization all of my life. Because of this: I am the only human being on Earth to notice the other side of the rot and corruption. When you are born inside a sewer full of stinking polluted filth,,, you don't notice it: you take it for granted. I have nearly always noticed it and now after 67 years of learning and questioning and drawing conclusions: I have come to the conclusion that it is civilization itself that is a foul evil horrible abomination, not just the Clintons, and that it has been so ever since civilization was first invented. You, or Hitchens, or anyone else noticing one turd in your stinking sewer that stinks more than others... in the stinking sewer called civilization... fail to notice that everyone else in this sewer including you is also corrupt and stinks to high heaven of stupidity, brainwashing and other sins. Take a look how the Clinton's: these evil, foul thing have avoided every attempt to nail them to the wall... WHY? Because they are only a tiny tip of corruption of the huge pyramidal pile of the entire hierarchical shit pile called civilization. Because if their stinking corruption is exposed, then all the rest of the corruption of civilization would also have to be exposed. If they are brought to justice and punished, then all the rest of you would also have to be brought to justice and exposed for your crimes of commission AND your crimes of omission, Look at the the retired navy guy who voted for Clinton twice> Does he hold himself accountable for voting this slime into power twice? Does he look at his own crimes? NO NO NO NO> All of you imbeciles love to look at the crimes and sins of others but NEVER at your own faults and failings Well I've got news for you... 7,00,000 insane naked apes all blaming each other but never blaming themselves... 7,000,000 insane humans expecting their leaders to be honest and moral and ethical but never themselves... 7,000,000 bigots judging others but never themselves; 7,000,000 insane apes all pointing the finger of blame at each other but never at themselves is utter madness: it is a level of insane lunacy beyond words. It is indescribable, it is a mass psychosis that is so insane: so stupid, so one-sided, so evil, so sick, that words fail.

your arrogance is needlessly showing . While many things you have said happen to be true, truth poorly worded is just another lie . u certainly are in no way outside of civiliztion otherwise you would not be writing in the comment box on a youtube video . sharing your convoluted opinions while insulting something u are apart of how dare you use words like "imbeciles" and you call "ape" while calling out others on their lack of introversion? strang how you do not seem to reflect inwards yourself before sharing your convoluted logic .... you should assume that your somehow outside of the rest of us apes?Well i got news for you! your arent! and i hope that sinks in genius .
