[lbo-talk] My Letter To CH

[dperrin at comcast.net]

" I am supposed to know that Dennis Perrin, after slashing and burning 
Hitchens for years now, was a friend and feels bad that he died. All 
I've ever read at this list was opinions of the man as a vile person. 
why on earth would anyone think that, at a list where dead lefties are 
regularly mocked for their vile positions upon their death, that CH 
was off limits." 

To quote David Frye channeling Richard Nixon: Let me make this perfectly clear. 

I haven't said a word about trashing the late CH. People are free to say anything they like about him. 
I've merely written about my personal reaction. CH courted shitty opinions about 
himself, at times reveled in it, so let a thousand "Fuck him!"s fly. It's part of his legacy.
