I remember Chomsky being quoted (I think in a Mother Jones issue)
something to the effect that the opposition to "political correctness"
was not legitimate. Apparently, Chomsky finds at least one kind of
oppression to be not distasteful.
At a Chomsky lecture that I attended, Chomsky described himself as a
left libertarian. I surmise that he finds that grassroots oppression by
the left to be ok. I realize, of course, that "political correctness"
has great mass media & State support.
Yours Truly,
Gary Jeffers

My apologies to everyone for starting this thread. I will
try to restrain myself from making any further inflammatory
posts that would tend to keep the thread going.
But a clarification. The reason I call Chomsky a totalitarian
is not because of his mild support for political correctness.
