(14,177 posts)I have never heard that term. I have heard attention whore, but that doesn't seem to fit Hitchen's. My understanding is he writes books or something and if he does then doesn't he have to do what it takes to sell them? What an odd thing to say. OIC Hitchens wasn't anti-war so he was automatically the enemy, so I guess you can then just say any ole' thing and it's okay. I get it I am feeling that way about some people here.

considering today's state of affairs, he appears "we the people's" best choice to help ensure we are able to enact the changes needed that is for most of us paramount....
I believe Clinton able and strong enough to do the same, it's her debt I worry about, payment will be expected...and that does not bold well for most Americans...
I can only hope we are not once again being led by background noise...
I guess at this point, I'll believe it when I actually witness the changes bring implemented throughout the US
IMO the whore comment was lazy, plenty of other ways to get that point across..

(7,820 posts)It was a comment by one of the speakers at the rally. Now frankly, I'm not a fan of that phrase, but the poutrage from the Hillary camp? Way beyond ridiculous.

And this thread is hilarious, because as Steve has repeatedly pointed out, every name click you give him, simply increases his name recognition--and trust me, he will survive a little shade thrown from the DU--and helps his career.
