The other letter released by CounterContempt today is dated June 14, 1992. Chomsky expresses contempt for those who, in the name of criminalizing Holocaust denial,
give maximum publicity to far-out nuts whose views are bitterly condemned with remarkable unanimity and fervour, and who would, in fact, be unknown if it were not for the vast attention lovingly lavished upon them.
I couldn’t agree more (see above.)
But the thing is: that seems like an odd sentiment to express in a letter to a man whom CounterContempt identifies as a Holocaust denier, (i.e., a “far out nut”).
I invite others to clear up my confusion.
Needless to say, the onus is on CounterContempt to reveal the origin of these letters and offer assurances of their authenticity.
After that, and after all the letters have been released and authenticated, Noam Chomsky may or may not wish to comment.
The comments beneath that CounterContempt blog post are already lively, to say the least.
