Of course, of all the shit Chomsky has said about the government he is going to respond to threats or be blackmailed by the US government. The 9-11 Truth movement should have been over a long time ago.

Bill Mahr and Noam Chomsky have both let me down with their support for the official story. I wouldn't be surprised if they are under threat or blackmail.

But he states that he believes the crime was committed by foreign terrorists, not political wings in our own government. He is saying that if the right wing were found largely complicit, even this would not benefit the left, so therefore for the left to be pursuing the right on this matter does not benefit them. I don't really understand how he can say this. If Watergate turned America away from Ford and toward Carter, imagine what 911-gate could do for an opposition party.

Yeah. Its seems odd that he would want anyone to emerge triumphant if they were involved in this crime.

Well, "the left" may be found to be complicit in the crimes. It doesn't matter which side of the political spectrum "emerges triumphant". What matters is that Americans get their country back from the criminals that run it. A criminal may be a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent. Who cares? Chomsky doesn't.

"if -- which I very greatly doubt -- something is found that would quickly send everyone in Washington to the death chamber, the left is unlikely to emerge triumphant."

very well put.

So if 911 WAS an inside job it would be "bad for the left". WTF?Chomsky is not saying that. He is saying that the left will further marginalize itself if the mainstream associates it with 9/11 "inside job" notions. This is probably true, so long as the case for the inside job remains unknown to the public. The public is aware of the notion, but has heard little in the way of investigative reporting on the matter.

Please clarify. I don't understand your comment.

C'mon man. Everyone has biases. Biases don't make us into morons, they just slant our thinking to greater and lesser degrees. You are announcing that Chomsky is 100% correct, rather than proving he is. You seem to be biased in favor of Chomsky. That would be OK with me, so long as your bias does not completely overwhelm your objectivity or absolutely thwart any tendency to open-mindedness.
