Are you fairly representing Chomsky's views or are you bending them a little to make them seem more reasonable? It's one thing to criticize Clinton for "a cynical bid to deflect attention..". But what Chomsky claimed was that the night time bombing of the aspirin factory was an atrocity which killed thousands of Sudanese civilians. His books and speeches are filled with such claims. Chomsky may well be a respected academic in the linguistics field. But when it comes to history, politics, and current events he is merely a well-read amateur - with no more claim to fame as a "thinker" than a few of the folks who post on this thread - and whose views, as well, are colored by a very radical leftist idealogy. Personally, if folks like Rush Limbaugh are verboten on this thread so should someone like Chomsky - IMO.
