And they always target Dawkins (who apparently provides a target rich environment) and Hitchens (who is no longer alive to defend himself -- which he would do).

I get tired of these all too familiar screeds that wheeze away like an old accordion.

It goes like this... First, we define the atheists by some out of context quotations -- or by just making shit up. Then, we rail about how intemperate/mean/whatever the atheists are. It gets so tiring to read this same pap over and over again. All these screeds contain cartoon versions of atheists.
