Letter to a
Lying, Self-Serving, Fat-Assed, Chain Smoking, Drunken, Opportunistic,
Cynical Contrarian (AKA C. Hitchens)
by JACK McCARTHY
Hitchens, you fucking fat-assed drunken slut.
You lying sack of shit.
Sir, have you no sense of personal integrity
whatsoever?
Mother Theresa might have been in the
"Missionary Position," but you are taking it every
which way from people who make poor old Charles Keating look
like Kris Kringle.
But I digress--already.
I just read your latest, self-serving
Orwellian rewriting and distortion of recent history published
in last Sunday's Washington Post, "So Long, Fellow Travelers."
First observation: It appears to be modeled
on David Horowitz's and Peter Collier's treacherous, "Lefties
for Reagan," published in the early 80s on those same pages.
And for good reason.
Like those two self-serving jackals you
aren't promoting a future war on Iraq--and the Left-- for any
real principle other than personal gain.
Like Horowitz and Collier you are using
the Left--and even more pathetically--the people of Iraq to justify
the selling of your most pitiable soul.
Your dishonest posturing here is not
only contrary to the spirit of the Orwell of your alcohol tinged
imagination, its an abomination worthy of Saddam Hussein or Osama
bin Laden.
But let's get to the nub of the issue
fat boy. Like another windy fat ass, Al Franken's Rush Limbaugh,
you are a big fat liar.
After 20 years as a columnist for The
Nation, rather than thank the readers who have read and supported
you over the years, you made the most graceless exit from an
uncomfortable scene since Adolph and Eva.
Rather than say a few words about your
tenure at The Nation, in one short paragraph you all but pulled
your pants down, stuck your fat ass in the face of your many
readers and said: "I'm out of here."
Adding insult to injury you claimed you
were leaving because you had just discovered that the editors
of "The Nation" were taking sides in the Iraq debate.
Are you nuts? Do you for one minute think anyone believed such
tripe?
Perhaps you think your readers also wake
up swigging Johnny Walker? What a joke. What an insult to your
reader's intelligence. Were you serious? Or just drunk again?
But I digress. Let us return to your
silly, sorry posturing on Iraq and the Left in the Sunday Washington
post. Boy, you must have been sloshed when you wrote this. I
mean this is pink elephant shit.
Linking all the Left with the Workers
World Party was a piece of sly, red-baiting propaganda worthy
of Orwell's worst nightmare.
What a foul act you are. "A right
wing porker," indeed Alex.
Your lowest moment, however, was when
you solemenly declared at the end of this abominable paean to
your fat-assed self-- that once Iraq was liberated you would
go to Baghdad to apologize to old "comrades" for the
actions of the Left.
Tsk, tsk. I mean didn't it occur to you
there was a paper trail indicting you in the Lefts thought crime?
Hitch, you lying slut. Are you going
to apologize as well to your newly freed Iraqi "comrades"
for opposing Bush Sr's war on Iraq in Gulf War 1?
Did you think for that matter that your
old comrades here forgot your many writings against that war?
Do you recall chiding Bush Sr for turning
a "regional war" into a "global war?"
Did you think we forgot your infamous
pasting of poor befuddled(now we know why)Charleton Heston on
CNN?
To summarize.
Hitchens: You are a Big Fat Liar and
a Right Wing Porker.
And a fat assed fucking bore who deserves
a good ass kicking.
Contrarily Yours
