The Deceptions and Disguises of Noam Chomsky

[Phil Dagosto]

Btw, I have to add Phil:

Its not enough that Kennedy was the only guy in the room arguing against combat troops in November 1961.

Its not enough he told McNamara to begin a withdrawal program in 1962.

Its not enough that McNamara was executing the withdrawal program in May of 1963.

Its not enough that Kennedy had Prouty and Krulak write the McNamara Taylor report in September of 1963 so he could base NSAM 263 on it.

Its not enough that Kennedy then rammed NSAM 263 through his advisors in October of 1963.

Its not enough that he then had McNamara go and tell the press about it, and told him on the way out, "that means the helicopter pilots also."

All of that is outweighed by Agent Orange? And that negates the fact that we would have been out of Vietnam in fall of 1965 and that would have saved the lives of about 4 million people? And 1.7 million in Cambodia?

This is why I left Pacifica, and I now call Chomsky and his crew the loony left. And I don't listen to Amy Goodman. BTW, its an interesting story how she hijacked the Pacifica donor list.

I don't know if the problem is they know all that stuff and its not enough for then or that they just don't know because they don't bother to read anything new on the subject or they've already made up their minds about Kennedy and don't want to be confused by the facts. I used to get into some comment wars on those sites but I rarely bother any more because its like arguing with a brick wall. Its really a shame because the one guy the Democrats have had in the past 50+ years that really tried to fight the MIC and corporate/Wall St establishment, and got his head blown off because of it, is tarred by false mythology (JFK's quote on mythology being worse than lies was quite prescient) while liberal Dems cry rivers over Hillary Clinton.

I haven't heard the story about Goodman and the donor list. I'll have to look into that one.
