[lbo-talk] Churchill Sets Limits on Academic Freedom of Speech

[Erik Hetzner]

Why do you keep saying "fabricated a genocide"? Even if we grant that
it was an intentional fabrication, rather than a sloppy mistake, which
is far from clear given the evidence that you present, Churchill wrote
a whole damned book on what the genocide against American Indians. Are
you suggesting on the basis of one error that the entire genocide
didn't occur? Or are you simply trying to find words that place the
greatest blame on Churchill?

Seriously, this is absurd. You wouldn't say that an author who had
fabricated an SS slaughter had "fabricated a genocide". You're
weakening whatever case you might have had.
