Funny that Noontide books other lefties titles were ignored by him. How much is the DNC/Media Matters/Soros paying you to humiliate yourself like this? When caught in one lie double down on another.

O'Kane just keeps on bringing the false information. You know perfectly well that "ordinary users of Amazon" can't edit product information. There is a link that allows users to submit recommended edits, but all of those are carefully reviewed by Amazon staffers to ensure the integrity of the database. Amazon trutherism. Never thought I'd see the day. Wow. D. J. P. O’Kane just keeps on bringing the false information.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Here's a selection of "far-right" Noontide Press titles: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/098213150X/ref=nosim?tag=redale-20" rel="nofollow"> Guilt by Association</a> - Jeff Gates revisionist 9/11 history wherein the "Jewish lobby" instigate the Iraq war and were ultimately morally responsible for 9/11 itself. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0939482428/ref=nosim?tag=redale-20" rel="nofollow"> Burden of Empir</a>e - Garet Garrett's isolationist anti-war opus. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000J6BKXQ/ref=nosim?tag=redale-20" rel="nofollow">State Socialism and Anarchism</a>- Benjamin Tucker's anarchist classic. I could go on but you get the idea, the books Noontide put out are influential on the left. Like Saul Alinsky who would approve of you going from place to place falsely accusing people of lying. “Far-right Noontide Press” Are you serious? Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Here’s a selection of “far-right” Noontide Press titles:

Guilt by Association – Jeff Gates revisionist 9/11 history wherein the “Jewish lobby” instigate the Iraq war and were ultimately morally responsible for 9/11 itself.

Burden of Empire – Garet Garrett’s isolationist anti-war opus.

State Socialism and Anarchism- Benjamin Tucker’s anarchist classic.

I could go on but you get the idea, the books Noontide put out are influential on the left. Like Saul Alinsky who would approve of you going from place to place falsely accusing people of lying.

While Von Brunn may well have worked for the far-right Noontide Press, I can see no evidence that that firm was the publisher of Chomsky's work. All the stuff I seen following a swift google says that that book was published by South End Press in the United States, and Pluto Press in the UK. You can't make up stuff, you know, and expect to either get away with it or have people take you seriously afterwards.

It minimizes the original meaning of the word, which was older people preying on younger vulnerable people for sex. I'm not sure we really have the same conclusion here.I support the anti-Mullahs, Pro-Shah and anti-Theocratic forces against Iran, but I dislike the posture that my support is meaningful to an armed regime who are even now gunning down dissidents. You're a left-wing hack who has just recently smeared people like me in a post linking us to James Von Brunn, <a href="http://www.red-alerts.com/comintern/james-von-brunn-was-an-admitted-socialist-with-connections-to-noam-chomsky/" rel="nofollow">even though he's an avowed Socialist who worked for the publishers of Noam Chomsky's The Fateful Triangle</a>. I might just be cranky but I really don't need your insincere praise. Isn't there some antisemitic, oops I mean anti-Zionist, propaganda you need to spread?

I've been following Twitter and find that, other than tweets from Iranians, there is a blanket of arrogance and ignorance in the Tweetverse. A lot of chickenhawk posturing by non-Iranians far, far away from danger. CNN exists in a visual medium, and the visuals are not forthcoming, other than blocky youtube and cellphone vids.
