Pursuant to my 10/19 post on Chomsky, there’s this from Shalom Lappin, posting on Normblog:
For some reason [Chomsky’s] admirers, like [Robin] Blackburn, see no difficulty in recommending him to us as a latter-day oracle, despite his defence of the Khmer Rouge regime in the late 1970’s, and his subsequent refusal to address this episode when the facts on the ground rendered his initial views too embarrassing to sustain.
**Update: Here is Oliver Kamm on Chomsky’s shameless distortion of a quote from Daniel Patrick Moynihan.
