Google Noam Chomsky and William F Buckley. Noam chews Buckley up good. In my youth I was a fan of Buckley. I liked his skill at debate. I also thought that Chomsky was exaggerating when discussing our Central American policies. It took a loooong time, but I now realize Noam was just telling it as it was and that Buckley was pretty much a blowhard.
Buckley was never an intellectual. He was always a blowhard. Yet I am constantly surprised at how well he positioned himself to seem like one, and how many people, to this day, still believe that he was some sort of intellectual powerhouse for the GOP
