1. I'm not a fan of Hillary, but Hitchens is a no account douchebag unworthy of consideration

3. Disliking the author of the piece doesn't discredit the writing itself, though.

5. Sure it does, Hitchens is untrustworthy and prone to exaggeration. You may as well cite FauxNoise's
editorial views which are equally skewed.

2. Ouch!
Well done.

The punishment visited on Sen. Hillary Clinton for her flagrant, hysterical, repetitive, pathological lying about her visit to Bosnia should be much heavier than it has yet been and should be exacted for much more than just the lying itself. There are two kinds of deliberate and premeditated deceit, commonly known as suggestio falsi and suppressio veri. (Neither of them is covered by the additionally lying claim of having "misspoken.") The first involves what seems to be most obvious in the present case: the putting forward of a bogus or misleading account of events. But the second, and often the more serious, means that the liar in question has also attempted to bury or to obscure something that actually is true.

8. Funny how none of the HIllary fans can see how much this Bosnia thing...
Hurts her chances in the General Election, if she were lucky enough to get the nomination.

They refuse to look at how damaging it is, and Hillary and her folks continue to spin about Obama being an "eloequent speaker" or is it a snake oil salesman?

Come on!

9. It won't matter because she's already lost the nom.

6. Hitchens. I can't stand the man. He's what I call
stupid arrogance. Every once in awhile though, he'll connect enough with the ball to get a hit.
