[Lawlow1978]

Chomsky's critics will use his intellect against him when speak about how he wins debates because of the vast amount of information he retains.

Chomsky's intellect and ability to retain large amounts of historical information is what's needed in the face of a government that hides all historical fact. As a matter of fact you see it right here with Perle brushing off the importance of national record. It is astoundingly shameful how Perle goes out of his way to belittle the actual record.

You can hear Perle audibly SHITTING himself

Chomsky is pretty amazing

Where's the rest of this part? :(

[kappy0405]

It's not hard to make a neocon look foolish, but Chomsky utterly destroys this guy.

I appreciate that Perle allowed Chomsky to explain his position at such length without interruption. Generally when Chomsky debates apologists for American imperialism he can't complete four sentences without his interlocutor trying to talk over him.

Why should he care? They're just numbers to him. What's the difference between 10k deaths and 100k deaths? Not bloody much for pricks like him.

[tragictravisty]

i noticed that chomsky always knows what perle is referring to, but perle very often doesn't know what chomsky is referring to. (examples of development, etc.)

[BuQdu]

why is this chopped in the end and only 3:14

[mdoob11]

And also, their discussion is more speculation than fact, hence the inability for one to really come out on top of the other. Human nature is not defined.

[mackers1916]

This argument wasn't fair ! ......... Chomksys just to smart for this capitalist idiot , its amazing how the masses cannot see how they're being fooled with school taught propaganda and media bias

[Xenu]

Did Perle just use Korea and neighboring nations as an example of liberal economic development models?!!? That's absurd. Chomsky is correct. They developed as a result of high tariffs, state subsidies & intervention, etc. Compare that with the poverty of Latin America and Africa.
