Actually Hitchens is pretty left on most issues. On the Iraq War though he's in strong agreement with the current administrations policies. That's not flip-floppy though unless you think the Iraq War is somehow a left-right issue.
Of course people like Moore (and Primitive) think exactly that. And that's why they loathe Hitchens so much. Because they can't understand why someone that agrees with them on so many other points in their world view could be so irrational as to disagree on this thing.
So instead of discussions on substative issues and raising rational counter points to his commentary you'll get elitist comments like, "Hitchens? Oh never mind him, he only writes for Vanity Fair afterall."
