(Eloquent Atheism) You can call Hitchens many things—heretic, traitor, genius, liar, coward, hero, hack (and that’s without going ad hominem)—but “people pleaser” isn’t one of them. His brilliant new book, God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, is a characteristically polemical and belligerent argument against not only the existence of a deity, but against the idea of a deity. Amen, brother. Hitchens will read and debate all comers. He will also be funny and charming and serious and rude. He will also be right. He usually is.

No, he's frequently wrong. Check out his diatribe against Jimmy Carter where he had the gall to blame Carter for the U.S.'s support of Saddam Hussein.
However, when he's right, he's very right.
right about the whole iraq thingy he was not.
