Dies the day after the Americans withdraw from Iraq. Some serious cosmic irony there.
Well yeah, pro-faith hard-leftists in not massively keen on Chris Hitchens shocka...
A friend of mine is obsessed with this guy.
Whenever I read "lenin" I find that it's never more than exactly what I was expecting.
Say what you like about Seymour, but he's far from 'pro-faith'.
Polemicist to the last anyway. Every thread I've seen today is full of people arguing over him.
Here's Cockburn's take

One awful piece of opportunism on Hitchens’ part was his decision to attack Edward Said just before his death, and then for good measure again in his obituary.
does he know what he's writing about? i'm sure it's not exactly equivalent and can be defended and so on, but really, this sentence, in a piece about his death?
