You are wrong.

I said I could be wrong, and it seems I am, but I always overkill my posts,
so what about the rest?

"Johnson is most famous for Modern Times (1983), the breath-taking epic of
twentieth-century tyranny. Before that book, intellectuals commonly
distinguished between bad "right-wing" totalitarianism (fascism and Nazism) and
justifiable "leftwing" totalitarianism (socialism and Communism), whose crimes were
overlooked. Johnson dared to denounce them all as evil."

Note Johnson takes no sides, neither right nor left wing. Of course, and he's
regularly published!

You bring up Chomsky and Finkelstein and vilify them with no justification as
to why you're vilifying them, (dershowitz trashes chomsky in chutzpah and has
had a number of acrimonious debates with him) and dershowitz is a known
plagiarist. What is it you're objecting to? And why so vehemently?
Because the Harvard paper was lauded by David Duke, you doubt its contents?
Have you read it?

Have you? Read it?
