From Modernityblog:
…From at least 1984 through 1992, [Noam] Chomsky corresponded with a man who, during those time periods, was one of the leading authors and editors in the Holocaust denial movement. And it was a very friendly correspondence, complete with praise for the denier’s work, and an offer of assistance on Chomsky’s part.It is quite an educational experience to read the letters addressed by the Mastermind of the (last) Century to L.A. “Lou” Rollins, the Neo-Nazi in question. A mind boggling quote re Eli Wiesel:
His attitude towards Israel is essentially the same as that of Communist Party members towards the USSR, or of "good Germans" towards the Nazis.That our hero hates Eli Wiesel is one issue, but in his usual sloppiness he used a tactless comparison that may have caused a heartburn to his newly gained Nazi friend...
"Still, I find it hard to believe." Modernityblog says. I beg to differ, almost nothing about comrade C. surprises me anymore after all these years together on one planet. The only thing that continues to surprise me is the cosmic level chutzpa Noam the Mastermind displays. A lesser man would have stuck his head in a toilet bowl and drowned self long ago.
Not Noam, though, and I am more than sure that we'll see and hear his sloppy counter-attack soon.
One of the reasons I'm not surprised...
