Power Line reports that a third-year Harvard Law student has fact-checked many of the claims made by Noam Chomsky in his recent debate against Alan Dershowitz. Well worth checking out.
...I'm working on compiling a list of verifiably false remarks that Chomsky made at the debate on Tuesday. Please note, I'm distinguishing objective factual errors from Chomsky's run-of-the-mill ludicrous theories about US-Israeli "rejectionism," media conspiracies of silence, and nefarious plots to destroy Iran. For example, I'm not including Chomsky's support for this comment including Ronald Reagan among "an iconic group of mass murderers -- from Hitler to Idi Amin to [Shimon] Peres." That's a matter of opinion, no matter how outrageous. I'll stick to the facts...
