Chomsky:The White House seems determined to demolish the foundations of our civil liberties"

[ConservativeDemocrat]

51. Ah, the classic method of deflection...

Take the least convincing critique, the one that overreaches the most, by the least intellectually honest critic, and portray that as the only critic.

No one who is not already too far gone for reason, can look at Chomsky's venomous attacks on people who were pointing out the Kampuchean Genocide, as anything but being an apologist for it. He repeatedly attacked not only the New York Times, but Le Monde, and a host of other newspapers. In "Distortions at Fourth Hand" he decried press bias in the murder of 1 million Kampuchean people by bringing up the Pinochet regime's murder of about five thousand people, even though that was vastly more covered, and specifically tried to claim that reports of mass slaughter were false - simply because they only witnessed the aftermath, and didn't see them directly themselves.

Among the vast majority of Democrats, Chomsky is a sad joke. His name was even used as the a punchline in the comedy routine President Obama recently gave at the correspondents dinner.
