Nonsense. We don't attribute people's views on history based on who they have in their house - we attribute it based on what they actually write and say. It's not as if there aren't enough things to call Hitchens without needing to make spurious claims.Actions speak louder than words, and having a holocaust denier as a guest in your home when his Jew-baiting is (in)famous around the world shows one's true colors more than a column in Slate.

"what huge and loathsome abnormality was the Sphinx originally carven to represent? Accursed is the sight, be it in dream or not, that revealed to me the supreme horror - the Unknown God of the Dead, which licks its colossal chops in the unsuspected abyss, fed hideous morsels by soulless absurdities that should not exist" - Harry Houdini "Under the Pyramids"
