Much nonsense is sometimes written about the alleged fallacy
of "guilt by association." True, if Chomsky happened
to be associated with Faurisson and Thion in a tennis club, that
particular association would not make him a neo-Nazi. But in fact
we saw that Chomsky justified Faurisson's Holocaust-denial, we
found Chomsky publishing his own books with neo-Nazi publishers,
we saw him writing for a neo-Nazi journal, we saw that the neo-Nazis
promote Chomsky's books and tapes together with the works of Joseph
Goebbels. It is this complex of anti-Semitic activities and neo-Nazi
associations, not his professed ideas alone, that constitutes
the Chomsky phenomenon.
