To think of Faurisson as an "apolitical liberal of some sort" shows an extraordinary failure of insight. I don't think Chomsky's writing the preface for Faurisson's book reveals that Chomsky wants to see Jews bbqed on a large scale. I do think it shows evidence of a high degree of nut-boyness.
I've concluded that Chomsky goes down on the Khmer Rouge rap, however...
