Ah, the lies that leftists tell themselves. I guess that it feeds their self-righteous sense of self-importance, but it only displays their ignorance, the depth of their bias against their country, and the nature of their agenda. No serious historian (ie, no one who believes that Noam Chomsky is a great thinker and moral authority) would even remotely concur.
Card carrying Communist revisionist historians like Howard Zinn lie by omission. Those who seek to bash bash bash America never allow cross-comparisons to the rest of the nations in this world, let alone those embracing the very evil political ideology that the speakers secretly advocate.
