This site is a collection of articles written by scores of writers of various political persuasions over decades.
I would expect Chomsky supporters with an iota of critical thinking to be able to read them and see for themselves how reliable they are (and not just jump to wikipedia to check who assembled them).
- ak39 13y agoRight. Since we are all in favour of being critical (which is all good), can we only look at some of the main points Bogdanor compiles against Chomsky which he parades them as hoaxes. This in order to see who the true hoaxer is (Chomsky or Bogdanor?): http://bigwhiteogre.blogspot.com/2011/06/response-to-paul-bogdanors-top-200.html http://bigwhiteogre.blogspot.com/2011/06/response-to-paul-bo... Bogdanor is simply not convincing as a unbiased critique of Chomsky's works. It's tantamount to comparing apples with ... the ebola virus.
- omonra 13y agoYour article main point is that 'Chomsky's lies are not lies - they are things that reasonable men can disagree about'. As someone who actually grew up in USSR and knows a lot about its history, I can tell you that reasonable men (ie historians) do not disagree about these things. The more time passes from each issue, the more clear it becomes - which is why he's not taken seriously anymore. His excuses for tyrannical regimes just because they were anti-American are blatant. We should all be thankful that we don't live in a world he wishes were true - that was already done on massive scale in Russia and millions have suffered as a result.
