1. Jesus. Neither of those two (nt)

[Ken Burch]

3. What's your issue with Chomsky? n/t.

[Recursion]

7. Other than the constant regurgitation of a facile manichean Cold War view of the world?

He's a decent linguist (though I'd go with Comrie any day) but kind of juvenile about IR.

[Ken Burch]

15. It's a bad thing to be honest about the fact that our country's foreign policy is

essentially imperialist?

Why not try something else rather than the post-1945 status quo?

[elleng]

2. Wes Clark,

but even tho he's 'supporting' hrc, I'm not sure of her judgment.

[ericson00]

4. I don't want Chomsky anywhere near the White House

his ideas are too far out of the mainstream. No Democrat (who wants to be elected) should be associating with him. His views are often un-American.

[Fawke Em]

6. His views aren't unAmerican. That's right-wing framing.

[Recursion]

8. Fine, his views are those of a bright teenager

who sees the world in terms of good and evil and can't understand why people don't just agree with him. Hmm... now who in the current political landscape does that remind me of....

[Wig Master]

5. Lena Dunham for Secretary of State

N?T

[JRLeft]

9. Who voted for Kissinger?

[Ken Burch]

10. You can actually check that.

There's a space to reveal who voted for which options.

[JRLeft]

11. A Hillary supporter, wants a war criminal.

[Ferd Berfel]

12. the HIllary supporter that voted for Kissenger

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=324694

must be either an old school republican or a kid too young to even know who that War Criminal was/is

[JRLeft]

14. A lot of her supporters are low information voters.

[Ferd Berfel]

16. ...just llike republicans? huh.

[JRLeft]

18. I'm certain a decent amount of them are republicans.

[Hoyt]

13. If you are talking about opening detente with China, Kissinger ain't bad.

[Ken Burch]

17. He could have done that without doing any of the ugly, bloodsoaked stuff.

I assume you'll agree that the bombing of Cambodia and what he did to Chile were unnecessary and indefensible. And that we should never do anything remotely like those things again.

[Hoyt]

19. Like I said, if you are talking detente with China.

[Ken Burch]

20. Would have happened under any other possible U.S. adminstration 'round that time.

Or "Taiwan is the REAL government of China" position was no longer tenable.

It was just about growing up and making some calls.

[Hoyt]

21. Don't know, but it Did happen with K's encouragement.

McGovern never got a chance because he got beat in a Landslide.

[Ken Burch]

22. The China trip was BEFORE the '72 election.

Once it did, ANY Dem would have lost pretty much as badly as McGovern did.

Muskie would have. Humphrey would have. Scoop Jackson would have.

[HooptieWagon]

23. President Carter too.

I think whoever is President should listen to as much advice as feasible...even Devils advocates. There's been too much group-think.
