In Betrayal Of Savio's Memory, Hitchens Set To Speak at the Mario Savio Memorial Lecture
An organization that pretends to represent the ideals of Mario Savio has invited the warmonger Christopher Hitchens to speak at the UC Berkeley campus on Thursday, November 21st. The event is free and is at 7:30 p.m. in the Pauley Ballroom of the UC Berkeley Student Union. Its time for protesters to show up and defend Savio's memory!

Savio was solidly antiwar and this is an utter betrayal of his memory.
"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"

Hitchens has been rightwing for years. He is a fan of Thatcher, supported the war in Afghanistan and now is a major speaker for the war in Iraq.How dare a group pay to have him speak at Berkeley and claim this is to honor someone who fought so strongly against war
Here are links about Hitchens stands on major issues:
