I heard OKeefe on the radio the other day. The interviewer asked him why he changed his views. He cited how the writings of Noam Chomsky completely swayed him! The idiot interviewer had never heard of Chomsky (I think it might have been John and Ken on KFI in LA), so could not come back with any intelligent information (like Chomsky's expertise is in linguistics, not foreign policy, and his anti-American invective is totally based on emotion, with his references being to his own previous writings, so very ill documented and full of hot air). Noam Chomsky, indeed. A dangerous man who needs to be factually refuted at every opportunity.

David Horowitz: Noam Chomsky’s Jihad Against America

The preceeding article, by David Horowitz, decisively refutes a vile and audacious (if typical) lie by Chomsky: that the American campaign against the Taliban in Afghanistan included a planned and purposeful attempt to starve millions of Afghanis.

In fact the United States military coordinated extensively and carefully with aid agencies and NGOs. The military campaign led to an order of magnitude increase in the volume of food aid getting into the country, and greatly improved access to populations needing relief.

Also, check this out, regarding Chomsky's intimate connections with extreme leftwing antisemites in France (also tied to the Institute for Historical Review and holocaust deniers elsewhere):

Chomsky and the Jews (intro to Partners in Hate: Noam Chomsky and the Holocaust Deniers)

The full article is long, but well worth reading. If includes the only reasonably fulsome account I've seen of Chomsky's early history and the origin of his views. You'll need to use the updated link from message #14.
