Dear Freedom from Religion Foundation:
I'm a member of the FFRF, the Atheist Alliance, and an associate member of the Council for Secular Humanism.
I have already lobbied Ms. Margaret Downey of the Atheist Alliance on this issue, and I'm lobbying you, now.
I will make the same suggestion to you that I made to her about the upcoming Atheist Alliance convention. This time, I make it about the upcoming FFRF convention.
If you are going to have the shill, flack, mouthpiece for the worst theocratic political regime in American history, the Cheney-Bush regime, Christopher Hitchens, speaking, the least you could do is have a prominent public atheist such as Tariq Ali or Gore Vidal, both of whom are anti-imperialists and strong opponents of the Cheney-Bush regime's imperialist invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, speak to counter the lies of Hitchens when he's questioned about the Cheney-Bush policies, and his flacking, lying, mouthpiecing, and shilling for the Cheney-Bush gangsters.
I was happy the FFRF sued the Cheney-Bush thugs, and unhappy the FFRF lost its lawsuit over religion-government separation.
I like Hitchens' book, God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything.
But Hitchens is, to me, one of the most reprehensible types of people, for he has given an "atheist" cover to the Cheney-Bush policies. His raving idiocies about his invented phrase, Islamo-fascism, are designed to whitewash an imperialist system that has done more to reinforce the flow of Near Easterners into the ranks of Islamic extremism than anything else.
