Chomskys faulty "there was no JFK assassination conspiracy" logic

[Charles Drago]

I found this priceless thread.

Now "we" can post this into the Fake-Left to SHOW them how the Chomskyfication was not always there, but was an adaptation, a protective scab to ensure that the left, the group who SHOULD HAVE been most interested and who represented the dangerous source of criticism-- as witnessed in the hilarious and essential Joe Alsop, LBJ, Carr recording available at Miller Center.

I would lead -- with the Staughton Lynd article because he has name brand recognition on the left.

IMPORTANT PART: WHY SHOULD WE GIVE A RAT'S GEOPOLITICAL ASS ABOUT WHAT "THE LEFT" THINKS RE JFK? GIVEN THAT THEY ARE REALLY FAUX LEFT AND ARE COMPLETELY WRONG ABOUT THE CASE.

1) First of all its the Publishable left who believe the bs. I have found that a huge amount of the real left no longer are swallowing the Chomsky.
2) MOST IMP. its not about what the left thinks> when some so called "leftist" argues that JFK was not getting out of Vietnam , they always do so loudly. They are PERCIEVED AS "the progressive" with whomever they are fighting with at thinksgiving supper from Long Island to INCA's Long Beach> hence, the sheering of the policy implications that these car-washed McLeftists scream at everyone else--e.g. the mantra that JFK was "JACW" just another cold warrior is heard by the whole group and it is taken as authoritative because it comes from the mouth of someone who is SEEN AS "progressive" = NET RESULT that possible new interest is smothered with the idea that "oh well if there were no policy or historical implications to the JFK assassination, its just another death, why is that death more important than a dead Vietnamese kid, now time for a Pacifica funding break..."

So left-gatekeeping is not about the left at all. It is a scorched earth policy on the entire spectrum. Anyone who is at war needs to act on that. PRE WARREN COMMISSION REACTIONS BY THE LEFT.. before the Great Naoming...

In essence, agreed.
