[Vision2020] I'm Waiting, Dave! Re:Chomsky Quote

[Tbertruss at aol.com]

Dave et. al.

Perhaps I missed the quote by Noam Chomsky, which you declared you were going 
to supply, that declares Chomsky "endorsed Pol Pot," as YOU phrased it, in 
1975 after the fall of Saigon.  You have posted voluminously to V2020 since you 
made the assertion just mentioned, and I have not plowed through every word of 
your posts, so it is possible I overlooked the Chomsky quote.  If so, I 
apologize in advance.

Some individuals on V2020 engage in the annoying and confusing practice of 
answering several people at once in one post, with one answer to one individual 
buried down towards the bottom of the post, with no indication in the subject 
heading that the subject being answered is addressed after they addressed 
someone else's post first towards the top.

If I overlooked it, could you repost it please with the proper subject 
heading indicating the post references our brief (all too brief, considering 
Chomsky's brilliance and importance as a profound thinker and writer about our modern 
political/social/economic/media environment) discussion about Noam Chomsky 
and his alleged endorsement of Pol Pot. 

If you have not supplied the quote and cannot, I expect a retraction posted 
on V2020 of your denigrating dismissal of Chomsky based on a false statement 
posted by you regarding Chomsky's stand on Pol Pot.

Below read your post where you stated you would supply the alleged quote in 
discussion, and the post where you first made the assertion Chomsky "endorsed" 
Pol Pot.

"We" are waiting!

Ted, I too have read almost everything that Chomsky has ever written.  I'll 
find the quote.  He said it in 1975 after the fall of Saigon.

And yes, I detest his logic.  He proclaims himself a anarchest, but he is 
really a communist.  He reconstructs both his history and others.  He's a fraud 
and I'll address this in full when I have some time.

Thinking about my little dear one.  I will remain ever vigilant Joan, but I 
worry much more about really hard "street literature", full of impurities and 
historical reconstruction, like Katrina Vanden Houvel at The Nation,  Cornell 
West, and the really scary ghost of Stalin; Noam Chomsky (hey, anybody who ever 
endorsed Pol Pot qualifies as "really scary.")
