[Peace-discuss] Know your enemy

[Jenifer Cartwright]

Nit-picking among the fringe groups is a waste of time, and not all that easy when it comes to actually accomplishing something. Starting w/ a large force against an easy target -- Fox "News" or Walmart might actually get us- has actually gotten us somewhere. --Jenifer

Now we know that Chomsky is only speaking basic truths here in this quote; the problem is getting the liberal intellectuals to recognize themselves and admit to it.  Unfortunately, that includes many so-called "progressives in this community.

> “I don’t bother writing about Fox News,” Chomsky said. “It is too easy. What I talk about are the liberal intellectuals, the ones who portray themselves and perceive themselves as challenging power, as courageous, as standing up for truth and justice. They are basically the guardians of the faith. They set the limits. They tell us how far we can go. They say, ‘Look how courageous I am.’ But do not go one millimeter beyond that. At least for the educated sectors, they are the most dangerous in supporting power.”
