Dawkins is not a right-winger. He was, for a long time, a member of the British Labour Party, at least until he got disgusted with Tony Blair over Iraq. (When he was a grad student in the US back in the 1960s, he was active in the antiwar movement). Dan Dennett calls himself an old fashion ACLU-type of liberal. Hitchens, as we all know, went neocon after 911. Harris is a liberal in the same sense as his friends, Alan Dershowitz and Marty Peretz are "liberals," from which you can draw whatever conclusions that you wish.
