Hitchens vs Cole The Saga Continues
My money is on
Christopher. Remember my Hitchens rule, odd no, even Yes.
Juan I read now and then but after a while he comes off as one of those
oh my holy brain academic stereotypes.
Updated 05/04: Hitchens eats Cole for breakfast!
Radioblogger :Hewit to Hitchens: Why don't you tell people what's going on here?
It's a blog war. Well, some of your listeners may know of Professor Cole of the University of Michigan. He is acclaimed, at least by himself, expert on matters Shiia, particularly, and he also says he's fluent in Arabic, Persian and Urdu. And for all I know, he is. But he's 10th rate, and he's a sordid apologist for Islamist terrorism, and for Islamist terrorist regimes. And I've been on his case for a while......Professor Juan Cole does not know what he is talking about, in any language.
Ohh that's gotta hurt.
Cole responds with a left jab narrowly missing Hitchens: Hitchens not Drunk, Only an Asinine Thief
It's toe to toe now! Cole seems to be tiring. I'm not sure he can make another round. There's the bell for round two. Hitchens looks fresh, he seems unaffected by Juan's weak jabs. Angleo Dundee now screaming at Cole in his corner...

Moreover, Iran cannot fight Israel. It would be defeated in 72 hours, even if the US didn't come in, which it would (and rightly so if Israel were attacked). Iran is separated by several other countries from Israel. It has not attacked aggressively any other country militarily for over a century (can Americans say that of their own record?) It has only a weak, ineffective air force. So why worry about it?"
Proving once again that the Left is utterly allergic to intellectual honesty, Juan Cole-- a Leftwing wacademic and therefore supposedly a GENIUS-- has never heard of nuclear tipped Shahab missiles.

Easy now Howie. This guy is a professor. Heh.
Even the resident professor will have to agree that not all who earn a Doctoral are necessarily of higher intellect than those that do not. Cole, well, I've never even understood where he's coming from and it pains me to see him quoted as an expert when I can easily find at least 10 people that live or lived in the region to rebutt each of his points.
I do find it humorous that Cole doesn't bother to respond to Hitchens' points but would rather call him a boozer. It is also humorous that Cole, who is not a professor in journalism mind you, speaks out against journalism ethics and pretends to have the high ground here. In terms of a listserv, I'm not sure the actual ethics of whether to use items on a listserv should or should not be used has even been determined. It is a fairly new concept, and since the old guard of journalism ethics seems to be discarded with the wind, why should this new ficticious one be considered absolute?

Bah! That should read ". . . I'm not sure the actual ethics of whether or not to use items on a listserv has even been determined."

Chad, I know I've actually read Juan a bit. I tried but... never mind. You know me I just like the fight. Chris are you going to take that from Juan? Why I'd....
Juan you going to take that from Chris. You should....

I'm an instigator aren't I.
