You are the ass for slandering Noam Chomsky. Anyone who so boldly lies about Chomsky has an agenda, and truth is not part of it. Kindly provide a shred of evidence that he said or implied that that "there were no Cambodian killing fields, and the Khmer Rouge were a nice bunch of chaps."
Noam Chomsky's own words:
There is no question but that the Khmer Rouge were brutal and killed large numbers. Michael Vickerey estimated 150-300,000 executed and an excess of deaths in the four years of Pol Pot rule of 750,000. David Chandler estimates up to 100,000 executions (Newsweek, June 30, 1997). The Finnish study estimated the total deaths in the Pol Pot years at a million, encompassing both executions and deaths from disease, starvation and overwork. Other serious studies of Cambodia yield comparable numbers.
It's true that the KR (not just Pol Pot, I believe) were rabidly racist ...
... the (horrendous) crimes of Pol Pot ...
... the Pol Pot atrocities ...

This is the real issue:
A letter from Chomsky answering Lewis’s lies, and several other letters doing the same, were refused publication in the New York Times.
