Well it finally happened. Noam chomsky is going to live out the rest of his life in a country where he is more right wing than the leftists.

Chomsky has done nothing more than encourage a review of the editorial process, a rebuttal to Gilley, and discouraged resignations.
-
He obviously doesn’t agree with Gilley.
-
It's not that he agrees, but unfortunately respecting the profs right to a diff opinion puts him to the right of many these days
-
Anyone who thinks suppressing the speech of a ridiculous dissenter like Gilley will help is not to the right of anything...just wrong.

People ought to realize they're beyond the pale when **Noam Chomsky** thinks they're going too far

In my revolutionary youth I respected Chomsky. As a less revolutionary adult & psychologist I still respect him; tho for different reasons

Without colonialism the US, among many other nations, wouldn’t exist & perhaps Islam wouldn’t’ve left Mecca. There must be *a* case to make

Willingness to betray freedom of speech when you don't like what you read in someone's paper is the sign of a true fascist. No LIBERALS.

Horrible argument. The fact that some colonial countries did better than their non-colonial counterparts doesn't revoke its bad name.
-
But the journal obviously shouldn't violate academic freedom by retracting his paper in acquiescence to the demands of a baying mob.
-
It has nothing to do with a "baying mob", but instead the coming to light that the paper was rejected from peer review, twice, yet published
-
Nothing, you say. Do articles that are published after having gone through a flawed peer review process invariably create such furor?
-
Moreover, that what you say is false is revealed by the wording of the resignation letter, which refers not only to the formal qualities
-
but to the very substance of the position advocated in the article. suspect, to say the least.

Columbus died not knowing the extend and concecuences of his discovery. He was only a spark of a civilizations clash, not responsible 4 it.

Then they'll come after Chomsky next. Once that happens, it will hopefully be clear even to the most obtuse observer that something's rotten

Excellent. If you think the guy is wrong, EXPLAIN WHY. If you never do, most who do hear his opinion will have no defense against it.
