It would take you [Justin Schwartz] years to check five hundred Chomsky citations. His citations are at best obscure and hard to find, at worst impossible to find.
already countered, Justin did not specify the time frame. So S2 already.

look, digslug, Justin Schwartz is an oxford-trained, yale-trained scholar, now a lawyer with the seventh circuit. he doesn't type things on a publicly accessible listserv where he can easily be quoted and humiliated for saying foolish things since the major new york papers monitor it for political gossip. the man who typed that, justin schwartz, has written and published more than you've typed on usenet so you ought to just STFU&STFD because your attempts to crawl out of the gutter where you seem to happily luxuriate in the scum, grime and waste are embarrassing.
Yet I seem to hit false citations, citations that are misleading and sometimes nonexistent, every few pages of Chomsky.
An example? A prime example? Every few pages? What book? What page? What citation?
If Justin Schwartz has a success rate is so strangely different from my own, perhaps he can find the infamous citation "repeated discoveries that massacre reports were false". Which massacre reports were these?
Where did the "the" go? Try On the quote in question, I have a copy of Clive Ponting's Churchill book balanced on my knee right now, and I can confirm that the quote is word for word, except that the emphases have fallen off it with the loss of italics ('an innocent record and' 'altogether disproportionate' 'mainly acquired by violence, largely maintained by force'). Strike one to Chomsky. this, from the lbo-talk list, I welcome anyone to parse their publicly archived list and prove me wrong. I'd give a url, but fuck james, I want him to work for it.
And while he is at it, <snip>

You are a broken record. Are you a former student of Chomsky? A failed student, perhaps? Reese
