    As far as Chomsky is concerned, my research to appease msh was enough
    to convince me that his socialist rabble is damaging to this nation,
    and that his public notoriety is a result of a provocative, irascible
    style rather than substance.

    But for me, anyway, an idealist is one who stands for something.
    And. if we're lucky it means something positive or constructive.
    That's why I have problems with people like Chomsky and msh. If they
    "stand for" anything it tends to be putting down something they're
    paranoic about. Mainly, they are negative and destructive. And they
    seem to thrive in their anger.

    msh 7-8-05:
    This is a great example of the "repeat and evade " methods of the
    dogmatic Faux Philosopher. My last two posts to the Chomsky thread
    provided ample evidence against the slanderous caricature of Chomsky
    posted above. You ignored my evidence and argument, and opted out
    of the discussion. I was perfectly willing to let it drop, but now,
    here you are again, in a different thread, repeating the same
    groundless slander as if it had never been contradicted. Only now
    you've expanded your slander to include an attack on me as well.

    Fortunately, my previous posts are in the record, available for
    review by anyone who wants to know what I think, and why. However,
    as long as you persist in this sort of intellectually dishonest
    repetition and evasion -- whether it's directed toward Chomsky, or
    Marx, or the Existentialists, or any other thinkers not present to
    defend their positions -- I will continue to flag your remarks and
    post them to the Carousel of Faux Philosophy, where they belong.
