Hitch and the flag
Rushdie’s bosom buddy Christopher Hitchens promoted his book God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything on the Daily Show. He wore on his lapel a flag which looked Indian but is actually from Kurdistan (thanks, anangbhai and RC):
This is the flag of Kurdistan in my lapel but my Kurdish comrades say… their main responsibility is for the new Iraq now. And they who would have every right to say, ‘We want to get out of this prison house of the state,’ are willing to still cooperate to help to emancipate the rest of it. I think that’s an extraordinary sacrifice… [Link]
Hitch needs to get together with Richard Dawkins.

I doubt that it was Indian flag.
It looks like flag of the Indepedant Region of Kurdistan
Why would Hitchens were Indian flag??
Kurdistan flag on the other hand makes total sense. Hitchens is very much fond of the Kurdistan story. Kurdistan is his excuse to be so gung-ho about the imperialistic Iraq war.
Warmongering Neo-Con ass kissing bigot.
But how do you really feel? :)
I believe he they already did.
Talking about Hitch, there is a kick ass debate between him and George Galloway on youtube. There is nothing better than Brits ripping each other :)
pay close attention to what stewart says at the end, “It is well FLUSHED out and the arguments are there for all those who wish to see it…”
haha, flushed.
Hitchens is damn good, My only gripe is orwell was so so, and trotsky wa Tos well a runaway demagogue of sorts.
and Hitch is not neocon or con or lib, thats why he is so damn good.
and I love his title a perfect war cry to Allah hoe Akbar.
Also since that phrase has poisoned the name of a mugul/moogool/mughal/mongol ruler of hindustan/hindoosthan/…
The akbar i admired became agnostic if anything thats why he is akbar as per me.
Good 2 CU here RC, A fellow without a label from various places
