9/11- Noam Chomsky Anyone read?

[aurelius]

didn't he also support the Khmer Rouge?

Just remember that as smart as he is, he has his own biases too. Read him, appreciate his points, but form your own opinions.

Heard that Khmer Rouge thing a few times. What does "support" mean and where is the evidence?

One person can hate the other with all his/her being and still be totally correct and valid in all his/her assertions.

True, but when an critique begins with an outright insult, it is too fueled by emotion to be taken too seriously as a whole (even though some of it might be factual).

So critical examination of the Holocaust in the sole prerogative of Jews? By that logic, it can be inferred that non-Americans (yourself?) are forbidden from criticizing US policies.

I am just saying it is easier for a black person to call another a "nigger" and allowing to explain why without a racist label voiding any reasonable explanation.

Once again, I also hold an American passport.

I don't think ENOUGH people are insulted when they present stupid opinions. There is no "right to be taken serious" when ideas are poorly thought out or when people are flaky in their principles.
