As noted earlier, I do not know his work very well. But from what I have read — largely as a result of the nature of the attacks on him — I find no evidence to support either conclusion. Nor do I find credible evidence in the material that I have read concerning him, either in the public record or in private correspondence. As far as I can determine, he is a relatively apolitical liberal of some sort."<br /><br />Clearly Chomsky is discussing the limited works of Faurisson he has read when professing that as far as he can determine Faurisson is a relatively apolitical liberal and neither an anti-Semite or a neo-Nazi.<br /><br />Ironically, in another portion of "His Right to Say It" Chomsky makes the observation: "As Faye predicted, many showed themselves incapable of distinguishing between defense of the right of free expression and defense of the views expressed — and not only in France."<br /><br />You would think Chomsky would have had the integrity to admit that he too was capable of making that simple error.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-84667353532231912242019-01-10T02:54:34.364+00:002019-01-10T02:54:34.364+00:00This woman is very naive and misguided.

She didn't appear to know that Labour are the least AS political party, that they have adopted the dodgy IHRA definition and the fact that she quotes GnasherJew as one of her main sources illustrates the fact she doesn't yet understand how she is being manipulated.I can't make the same excuses for the producers at Ch4Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220748308166723464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-12498093889625504012019-01-09T22:04:02.369+00:002019-01-09T22:04:02.369+00:00In other words: a schoolgirly, panicky and patheti...In other words: a schoolgirly, panicky and pathetic attempt to link Chomsky to AS.
