I should know better

[Robin Landseadel]

To give as civil a response as I am able,  Chomsky is a leading figure  
of the radical left. The book we are currently discussing [in our lazy  
and digressive fashion] concerns itself, in large part, with the  
radical left in America. One of the major themes of Vineland is the co- 
option of the radical left movements of the 60's by innate,  
internalized fascism. The discussion you landed on is concerned with  
what might be perceived as Chomsky's tolerance of certain criminal   
forms of governance over others.

John Carville writing about:

	. . .the terrifying levels of blind, unquestioning support he
	attracts. The man is a cult. (Ahem. Yeah, you could read that
	last wordtwo ways.) . . .

. . . others mentioning Pacifica news, all making comment on these  
counter-cultural figures touches on themes found in Vineland.
