Charlatan. hack. nutjob. But that's just me

Nice Link to Zmag finally links to contact us.....lends to the credibilty..... Critical thinking is great...ad hominems, straw men, red herrings. They have all the good logical fallacies

I love all the "facts" Noam uses,and details like....

Atilio A. Boron: According to your analysis then the question is: who is next? Because you don't believe that they are going to stop in Iraq,
wouldn't you?

Noam Chomsky: No, they already made this clear. For one thing they need something for the next presidential election. And that will continue. Through their first twelve years office this continued year after year; and it will continue until they manage to institutionalise the domestic policies to which they are committed and to ensure the global system
they want

Twelve years in office? they......you mean Reagan and bush the elder?

Then this nice factoid...

"The Bush administration, let me repeat it again, they are not conservatives; they are statist reactionaries. They want a very powerful state, a huge state in fact, a violent state and one that enforces obedience on the population. There is a kind of quasi-fascist spirit there, in the background, and they have been attempting to undermine civil rights in many ways."

All this time people have been telling me conservatives were statist reactionaries. I'm so confused..

Genius, pure genius....nice hero

" This means slashing public medical assistance, social security; probably schools; and increasing state power. These people are not conservatives, they brought the country into a federal deficit with the largest increase in federal spending in 20 years, that is since their last term in office and huge tax cuts for the rich, and they want to institutionalise these programs. They are seeking a "fiscal train wreck" that will make it impossible to fund the programs. "

Good, good. Slash spending while increasing spending while slashing tax rates while raising tax revenues while..... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Thanks that was worth the time.were
