Hitchens attacks Gore Vidal for being a ‘crackpot’
Christopher Hitchens ought to know how to spot a crackpot! Mr. Hitchens enjoys some sort of success by peddling the same vitriol and clap-trap he decries in others.
There is a small bit of a feud playing across the pond.
“It does seem like a kind of bizarre personal vendetta being carried out on the pages of Vanity Fair, replete with factual inaccuracies and not very much substance.”
“Factual inaccuracies and not very much substance” seems to be the stock and trade of Mr. Hitchens! And it is correct that Mr. Hitchens makes money from “the crank-revisionist and denialist history he is now peddling."
One man is a literary genius and the other a philosopher. These so-called intellectuals, read that as we’re smart – you are dumb, have tangled themselves into the tin-hat crowd.
Ask yourself, do these two men really encourage you to live a better life? I thought not. So do we really care when the intellectual elite fight amongst themselves?
Sorry I brought it up!
