Chris Matthews calls Christopher Hitchens a “Neo-Neo-Conservative.” It makes sense. Neo-Conservatives are largely old school liberals who broke with the far left in the 60s. Hitchens was (and still is) a hardcore anti-Vietnam protester who has rebelled against the Left in their comparison of Vietnam with Iraq.

This is a pretty interesting debate on God that Hitchens has with a rabbi.
