The Chomsky list:

  I joined the list recently, thinking to participate in
  intelligent discussions.

  I have been appalled - and enlightened - by what I've read,
  including the apparent censorship incident and some of the
  advocacy of "anarchisism" (whatever that means). The comment
  below (one among many) triggered me to post this remark.

  Looseness with facts I thought was a media trait decried by Chomsky.
  It seems that his pretended followers have adopted the trait as their own.

>*earlier* genocide--namely the one conducted by U.S. warplanes against
>the Khmer population, which not only killed hundreds of thousands, but
>which, by destroying the fabric of Khmer society, laid the groundwork for
>the ultimate takeover by the Khmer Rouge.
