He would banish that bitch from his heart if it meant cutting her out with his own dagger.

This riposte referred to my opinions as ‘racist.’ I would obviously scorn to deny such an allegation on my own behalf. I would, rather, prefer to repudiate it on behalf of my former friend. He had known me for many years and cooperated with me on numerous projects, and I am quite confident that he would never have as a collaborator anyone he suspected of racial prejudice. But it does remind me, and not for the first time, that quarrels on the left have a tendency to become miniature treason trials, replete with all kinds of denunciation. There's a general tendency—not by any means confined to radicals but in some way specially associated with them—to believe that once the lowest motive for a dissenting position has been found, it must in some way be the real one.","author":"Christopher Hitchens","tags":["dissent","edward-said","friendship","leftism","political-radicalism","race-card","racism","treason"],"id":87943,"author_id":"Christopher+Hitchens"},{"text":"If you want to change the world, just change yourself.
