[lbo-talk] Chomsky: Dershowitz is a remarkable liar and slanderer, an extreme opponent of elementary civil rights

[Jerry Monaco]

"The incident demonstrated conclusively that Dershowitz is not only a
remarkable liar and slanderer, but also an extreme opponent of elementary
civil rights. That is crystal clear from the correspondence, reproduced
below. Dershowitz flew into a fury over the exposure, and ever since has
produced a series of hysterical tirades and lies concerning some entity in
his fantasy world named "Chomsky," who lives on "planet Chomsky." That is
his standard style when he is exposed, reaching truly grotesque levels in
his efforts to discredit Norman Finkelstein (and even his mother, probably a
new low in depravity) after Finkelstein's meticulous documentation of
Dershowitz's astonishing lies in his vulgar apologetics for Israeli crimes
(Beyond Chutzpah)."

Given Dershowitz's excessive self-aggrandisement, profound ignorance of
facts, extensive plagiarism, which if committed by a law student might have
led to dismissal from school, inability to actually construct an argument, I
think that Chomsky is rather mild in his response to the Dersh.
