You're right, Lessingham. Chomsky said the "rumors" of the killing fields were "tales of Communist atrocities" based on "unreliable accounts." He also said the executions only "numbered in the thousands" and were "aggravated by the threat of starvation resulting from American distraction and killing." In other words, it was America's fault.
He's quite fond of any and every communist dictator known to mankind, it seems. No small wonder he's highly regarded by the Left.
Chomsky is said to be a world famous linguist. Linguists are supposed to able to analyze languages, but Chomsky is known to speak nothing but English. How do his PR promoters explain that deficiency?
