So I picked up a sandwich I saw on the sidewalk and ate it.
Big Gav pointed out the latest Anti-Chomsky readings and so provided me with a compendium of every third-rate conspiracy theory that Mr. Chomsky has dismissively and probably rightly ignored.
This document was discovered in the National Archives and has been the subject of mainstream articles by ABCNEWS and others. It stands as clear evidence that the U.S. government has designed plans to engineer terrorist attacks and blame them on foreign enemies. Yet Noam Chomsky does not think the Northwoods document matters:ABC News as a paragon of objectivity and the second coming of Thomas Paine! To take a simple reality check of the current SCLM media situation, I don't think Chomsky has appeared on network television since the Dick Cavett or Tom Snyder days.
In the end, after reading the diatribe, Chomsky sounds more reasonable than ever. To whit, he wrote this blog item over a year ago that I also remember posting on:
Chomsky posted an entry called "Peak Oil" on his blog in June, 2004, writing the following: "The basic theory is incontrovertible. The only questions have to do with timing and cost."

It's amazing the way it's become "obvious" that Chomsky's a fool, a madman, &c. You supposedly degrade yourself even by mentioning his name.
I've asked people many times to explain...but apparently it's so well known that he's a fraud that questioning the fact simply invites ridicule.
Your use of "obvious" would make Chomsky proud. That is exactly it, Chomsky dismisses this stuff with such laid-back charm that it gets people's blood absolutely boiling. I have no other way to explain it.
Remember, in the wingnut's black-is-white world the fact that Chomsky is usually correct is clear evidence of incompetence and senility.
good'un, i'll file that quote.
