My central point was not the label, but pointing out that Chomsky was an apologist for the Khmer Rouge, and continued being one for quite a while after the extent of the massacres became known. Then, at a later time, he went slip-sliding away from his original defense, and now denies ever having defended the Khmer Rouge. So not only did he defend mass murderers, he doesn't even have the saving grace of any shred of intellectual honesty about it.What Does Uncle Sam Want? with no reference to the Soviet half of it), no positive arguments made, only negative ones and even those made indirectly with deniable language, no admission of mistakes, even when his positions have become clearly insupportable. The only clearly identifiable connecting thread is the hatred of the US, which shines loud and clear.
