I LOVE your link, Orn! It has this gem, among others: "Given the fact that *Chomsky is a libertarian* (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!) and a public intellectual Schweizer's attack on him is the same he uses on Michael Moore, he looks at their private lives and condemns them for, shudder, making money. In effect publishing books, giving lectures, producing DVD's, and a movie with the National Film Board of course, which is all apparently verboten for the Left, but ok for hypocrite Schweizer. You see he makes his money as a policy wonk, a red baiter of the old anti-communist school of James Burnham.
Whats ok for Peter of course is not ok for Noam. Apparently Left wing Intellectuals must wear sack clothe and ashes, in order to live up to their ideals, while champagne and caviar are fine for the right" That would be because the Left is decrying Champagne and Caviar, while the Right are celebrating it. It's not hypocritical for the Right to be bloated, wealthy, robber barons, feasting on the blood of orphans. That's their whole schtick! It IS hypocritical for the Left to be doing the same. It's SAD when their followers make excuses and allowances for their piss poor behaviour and utter lack of moral or ethical integrity.
