Is Chomsky still on DU's "approved" comentator list?

89. It lessen us when we are prevented from using our own intellectual capacity to judge.

The danger here lies the promoting of a specific view regardless of the truth.
It lessen a great site like DU.

The question is more of are user of DU of such low intellectual capacity that we can be influence by lies.
From my personal experience, in the past DU will always debunk and articles that is not the truth.

That was the beauty of DU in the past. The willingness to find out what is true or not.

I was here during the time of Al Gore/Bush election. I came to know of the site through "We Are Sorry World". It was just a gut feel that tells me something is wrong. From that time till now. we lost many great debunker of lies.

Oversea Visitor say hello to many old friends here.
Yes OV is back but lurking mostly now. Just popping out because of Ukraine.

Yes, it is that dangerous a situation. This is not Iraq. This is right on the doorstep of Russia.
And I thank God that Obama is the President at this moment.
President Obama inherited a situation that is totally messed up.
1) A war based on lies... Iraq
2) A financial crisis that nearly collapse US (Sept 2008)
3) A very destructive propaganda campaign based on hatred of a large segment of the world population. Now the chickens has really come home to roost.
4) A very ugly political environment build on fanning hatred of specifics belief rather than Merit of the candidate.

That is just my opinion. Look around old timer and tell me there is now less hatred in US or does it seems like a cuckoo nest.
The Yes We Can is not a Yes He can. And if you expect that he can push that big boulder up the mountain himself alone. CORE VALUES CORE VALUES of the great US citizen. What does it means.

OV feels tired. We the people are losing big time. We the people are having (Sovereign) debt force on us by corrupted leaders and politicians for their financial gains without us having a say but have to pay for it. OV out.
