#1 All demogogues with a following, real or imagined, claim the answer to all problems lies in mob rule - in the guise of "democracy." 'Tis true whether a secularist, multi-culti-ist, sage of the plains, turban of the 'Zoids, or Preacher With Perfect Hair -- for this would then become thiers to wield by proxy. How, um, transfuckingparently disingenuous.

#2 lets argue facts and logic at Noam's comments site as it's much more satisfying to do so.

Those who block his comments section with offensive, loooong, offensive spam are simply idiotarians themselves, with no interest in truth and fact.

#3 Hilarious! I especially like this comment from someone: "It's not nice to ask Noam to leave his own blog."

#4 Sounds like this kind of thing might be right up Boris's alley . . .

#5 i didn't stay to long there but got to the posts that said 'what is it with you jerk off artists!'

Me thinks Mr. Chomsky is in the process of discovering that the essence of democracy - the right to say what you really think - is alive and well on the internet.

#6 "Turning the Tide"?

Can we call it the "King Canute" blog instead?

#8 The comments are now gone from Chomsky's blog. I guess that he couldn't handle all of the "manufactured dissent."

#9 I reckon the comments are gone because someone posted a huge big page of definitions of sexually deviant terms. It was really quite offensive.

I think it's a shame because there goes our chance to really show up the poverty of Noam's arguments with some uncomfortable facts: the only true way to debunk him.

He'll just claim it's either a CIA conspiracy or redneck, ignorant Americans that did it, and be comfortably reassured in his ivory tower.
