<<So far, i have seen little argument to countermand his viewpoint, just a lot of vitriol about Chomsky as a person.>>
I have repeatedly now tried to illustrate, as best I can in my rambling style, my faults with Chomsky, which are not mine alone. If you consider my faults with his methodology as being mere "feelings" and personal attacks, then any argument would be moot.
As to <<His basic tenant, that the USA is fully responsible for a good part of what is wrong in world politics is a valid point which he goes a long way in proving>>, that is begging the question. There is no doubt that such is his basic tenet, and no doubt he goes a long way to prove it. The question is, are the methodological means by which he comes to these conclusions valid? To that I have given my answer. |
