Noam Chomsky vs Alan Dershowitz debate - Where do we go from here (at Harvard 29-11-2005)

HI @ Luft..
this is an excellent debate, and Dershowitz deserves a slap in the face for his attitude and behaviour in general. A slap which Chomsky can deliver.
I heartily recommend a viewing.

(However, this debate is still available in AVI format here : https://onebigtorrent.org/torrents/4355/Noam-Chomsky--AVI-Collection--Godcanjudgeme)

No matter - Peace to you Luft.

Keep up the good work.

I am not worthy of apologies.

It's a different size and different format.
The more the merrier.

Very interesting the way Harvard set up the debate. A single American Flag is present behind Dershowitz so that in close-ups he appears draped in it. Also, either his microphone is louder than Chomsky's or it just seems that way due to his piercing, grating voice. Noam remains dignified, and knowledgeable throughout Dershowitz's personal petty attacks.

Gern,
Well observed!

Very good indeed.
Yet, my personal fav is the older televised debate Noam had with William F Buckley Jr.
Noam infuriated him so bad the during the commercial break William F suggested that he might punch Noam "in the goddamn face" Noam maintained his composure of course. My only beef with Noam is his reluctance to consider the events of 911 as an inside job. When groups like the 911 Truth Movement move into wider focus, certain segments of the bewildered herd beat him to the punch in a very 'non scholarly' like manner. As Noam has never publicly appeared to even 'have' an ego, it is very easy to overlook the undeniable fact that he does indeed have one.His pejorative stance on those who would question the official events concerning 'the day that changed the world' defies all logic. I know Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has a rightful place next to Noam Chomsky in my library.

Conspiracy freaks try to defend their theory on Democracy Now!

I would say your 9/11 ideas defy logic. The 9/11 truth movement hasn't got anything substantial to show up. Besides, they are stealing young peoples' attention and energy from a lot more urging issues in the world.

Conspiracy freaks?
Good grief.
These shills from 'Popular Mechanics' are beyond pathetic. Thank you for posting this link.

'Young peoples attention' HA!

If there is anything good to come from 911, it is the dismantling of american culture from within via a generation not sufficiently indoctrinated at the time of the attacks.
and...
How anyone over the age of forty who has seen "Manufacturing Consent' could doubt for a moment, any involvement of our own government in the facilitation of these events, well this can only be considered consistent with the effect that Noam Chomsky has ever really had on this planet, namely a tireless proliferation of facts heard only by 'do nothing' academics who are far more interested in decorating their gilded cages rather than risk the earth shattering intellectual ramifications that 'might' ensue if they dare reach up for the light switch.
