====================================================================== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. ======================================================================
Indeed, you don't know shit about me. As I stated in a previous post, I'm simply a fellow resident of rural Mendocino County, California where Blankfort is a local personality with a local radio show and someone I have seen in person in my local community. Thus in my my humble view he is someone who perhaps is entitled to less invective. Do I agree with his view of Chomsky? No. Do I consider him a "toxic" person? No. Seems like you guys are engaging in exactly the type of exaggerated doctrinaire invective you assuse Blankfort of stooping to. Maybe shift a little more from personal attacks to the political issues. I doubt if our honorable Chomsky would endorse this type of demonization. I never claimed to be a long time activist in this struggle, although I support the just struggle of the Palestinians and have had the privilege of personally visiting this area in 1980.
