Professor yes, but respected? Not by me and not by anyone I respect.

Wrong?

A lie?

Ah, pardon me but exactly what am I wrong about? You seem to be reading the
same line I am. By the way, I wonder why an expert in language feels the
need to put the word Holocaust in quotation marks. And what is the
"question"?

>Let me spell it out for you, John: F-R-E-E-D-O-M (of speech).

I agree, Faurisson and Chomsky have a absolute right to say anything their
tiny little minds vomit up, and I have a absolute right to call them
ignorant immoral disgusting pigs for doing so.

>Chomsky never denied the holocaust.

"I see no anti-Semitic implications in denial of the existence of
gas chambers or even denial of the Holocaust. Nor would there be
anti-Semitic implications, per se, in the claim that the Holocaust (whether
one believes it took place or not) is being exploited, viciously so, by
apologists for Israeli"[...] "I see no hint of anti-Semitic implications in
Faurisson's work"

> Are you saying that Chomsky has no expertise in American culture and
> foreign policy

Yep.

> By the way John, have you read anything by Faurisson

I've read a little but not much because after 3 or 4 for sentences I feel
dirty and need to take a shower.

> Wrong again.

Wrong? Wrong! Are you saying Chomsky didn't make such a despicable comment?
If so then you are once again dead wrong.

> Chomsky said, and I quote:
> I have nothing to say here about the work of Robert
> Faurisson or his critics, of which I know very little

It is quite true that Chomsky did say that, and then he started to catalog
all the wonderful virtues of Mr. Faurisson, a man he claimed to know nothing
about.

> John, why don't you, from now on, read everything/something
> Chomsky has written

When I die and go to hell because God sentences me to eternal damnation my
punishment will indeed be to read everything that man has written, but until
then life is short and I think I've read enough of the vomit and political
ramblings of our Mr. Chomsky.
