is in an all out race to beat Chomsky in the TTLB Ecosystem, begging for linkage. I just checked my own
, and I beat Chomsky by a full 192 blogs!!! Just two days ago I was another 20 blogs ahead (see what happens when you don't post for two days).
Since I'm sure Chomsky will begin to climb as soon as word gets out about his blog, here are my two goals:
a) never link Chomsky again. The TTLB Ecosystem is based on number of unique incoming links. NEVER link Chomsky. If you want to say something about his blog, don't link it. Why? This post explains it with a follow up post here.
b) get banned at Zmag, where Chomsky's blog has a home. You can wear that as a badge of honor. "I was banned at Zmag!" No, I take this one back. Zmag wants you to front $3 bucks for the honor of comenting. No wonder Chomsky has zero comments to his posts. You think any of his readers even has a job?

Whew! You're late to the party on this one, Rusty. This was news three months ago, and the reason he shut down comments was because every incensed whack job in the blogosphere was posting 30,000 anti-Chomsky screeds therein. At roughly 100 commenters a post that comes to (counts on fingers] 3 million anti-Chomsky words a post. Even his ego couldn't deal with that much hatred. It's too bad you missed it - those comments were a wonder to behold.
I mean, really - it was remarkable.

Ok, now narrowly beating Chomsky but think your 192 link advantage is something worth striving for.

Well, Noam has about a 3,500 spot lead on me, but he's still a worthless piece of crap whose analysis can't even rightfully called analysis.

Wasn't Chomsky some kind of customer in Clerks or something?

I just delinked Chomsky in my original post!
I like the sound of that: delinked Chomksy.

I'm glad to see that more folks are catching on to the fact that if you link someone or something, you are showing a certain level of respect. Even someone you angrily disagree with.
Chomsky deserves no such respect.

Wow, what's the big deal about Chomsky? He's actually pretty good. I mean sure he's saying all this bad stuff about the US, but it's all pretty much true. The thing is, I love the US unconditionally, but not the US government unconditionally (many mistakenly think its the same thing). So if you love capitalism and freedom as much as I do, and you want to promote it as best you can, you have to look at what the preeminant symbol of capitalism and freedom is doing for capitalism and freedom. THAT MEANS that you have to look at the actions of the US government (covert ops, low intensity warfare, subversion of foreign elections, removal of Aristride from Haiti, etc, etc, etc). If the US govenrment is actually hurting the cause of freedom and capitalism, then ultimately it's turning the world towards communism more effectively than communists ever could! (Not to mention that I actually do think killing for profit is wrong.)
So, if you love capitalism and freedom as I do (in a sane balanced way), then you have to read Chomsky because he is the best person to actually tell you about what bad things the US is doing (which ultimately creates communism). We can't be effective pro-capitalists without knowing what the US is doing in its name. Chomsky is without a doubt required reading for those of us who want to promote capitalism.

Dusty, your words remind me of many Europeans' comment on how they "love" the Americans, but hate their government - and they don't hold it againsts the American "people" that their government sucks.
So far so good, but there is a fundamental flaw here, one they are not aware of and neither are you, as you blithely repeat how you "love" capitalism: their thinking derives from the socialist (therefore profoundly anti-capitalist) dogma they share with that treasonous weasel Chomsky. Saying that "people" are OK but their government is not denies the "people" their credibility and liberty in choosing how they live.
Novel thought, but did it ever occur to you that "people" in their majority actually do not dislike the current state of affairs? Listening for too long to communist propaganda from moveon and other moore-onic sources might lead one to believe that "people" really "suffer" - whereas the truth lies entirely elsewhere.

Yo Dude why you hating on chomsky?
It's obvious you can't debate him so you just resort to grade school tactics and villification.
You should use your energy in a more constructive manner.
peace
