1. NOAM IS ONE OF THE FEW OPINIONS I RESPECT
Unfortunately, it is a little late to express support for Gravel. Oh well, he usually stays out of these things anyway. At least Gravel, Kuccinich, and Edwards have forced some questions to be answered at the debates. It doesn't look like we are ready to take back control of our country yet.

3. yeah, far too late
only 48 primaries or caucuses left to go - no way could he get enough delegates since Iowa and New Hampshire collectively control 51% of all delegates. Oh, I'm being sarcastic.

2. The narrator is putting words into Noam's mouth
implying that he "endorses" Gravel, which Chomsky didn't do .. which is irrelevant anyway since Gravel's no longer in the race.

plus it totally ignores Kucinich, who IS still in the race. weird.

4. Gravel is in the race
It was falsely reported that he had dropped out. Who would have known he was still in it though, since the media has completely ceased coverage of his campaign and barred him from the last several debates.

5. $eem$ the M$M is in$i$ting on $pinning U$ democracy into oblivion
Whether it's their scant or no coverage of vital election fraud issues (see NH), or their rendering John Edwards and/or Kucinich
as virtually invisible at will, or their loaded debate non-questions (e.g. UFO's) , or .... what did I miss? ...

Oh, that Gravel is still in the race. who would have known?

6. Putting words into Noam Chomsky's mouth
   I didn't put words into Noam Chomsky's mouth, but you put
words into my mouth.  Why would you use quotation marks for
"endorses," yet then claim I was only
"implying" same?  As we fight a battle against media
deception and apathy it's disheartening to see those on the
same side making things up about one another.  I asked Noam a
question and he answered it.  Plus, your remark about Gravel
not being in the race, where did you get that from?

7. could have been just a misunderstanding
not necessarily "making things up about one another".
