Subject: Rethinking Noam Chomsky“These articles by Michael Morrissey, Bob Feldman, Daniel Abrahamson, and Benjamin Merhav among others, may get you thinking twice about Noam Chomsky and similar nationally touted "critics" of the government.”
The logic you use in this article can be used for anything. You can make up any far fetched theory and have a few things to back it and claim it truth. But until you can prove things, like Chomsky does, it’s not truth.

Dear Debra,
How interesting it is to read the words of a robot, who doesn't realize that she's a robot. You're a Believer in the idea that Noam Chomsky is Mr Wonderful because the liberal world - and Believers like you- SAY that he's Mr Wonderful. He's the epicenter of liberal consciousness -you think- because you've been steadily LED to that 'conclusion". You find yourself nodding in agreement with the splendid essays and speeches that Mr Wonderful makes and you say to yourself "My God, this man is a champion of liberty and individual expression. Who is more attuned to the plight of the ordinary citizen that Mr Wonderful? What a bulwark he is against the advancing tyranny of the corporate oligarchy" (does that about cover the 'conversation' that's taking place in your head?)
So you write me because you're really upset when someone, such as myself, throws a spanner wrench into your perception of Mr Wonderful and publish articles and essays which challenge and examine the words of Mr Wonderful MORE CLOSELY and in so doing expose flaws and OMISSIONS in his spellbinding -"I'm here to defend the Little Guy" - rhetoric.
So now, the arguments and rebutting statements of those critics are not to be considered on their own merit, but rather the impudence of my "logic" is to be challenged. How dare I publish articles that are merely composed of "far fetched theory" and possess "a few things to back it up" to tarnish the "truth" advanced by Mr Wonderful.
How deplorable of me!
Sincerely, Ken Adachi

Subject: RE: Noam ChomskyDear Ken,
I read both sides and come to my own conclusions. But I love to what extent the right will go to discredit anyone. I also have found it amusing in the past 7 years how the right will get so nasty when they don't like what someone says. It proves, once more, that they can only call names with nothing to back it up. Quite like what you've done in your reply. My what a professional editor you are. It's quite funny. Say what you will about me, you who does not know a thing except for what I write. It phases me not.

Subject: RE: Noam ChomskyIt also seems like you really have a personal agenda towards Naom Chomsky. Don't let me get in the way.
