What has Noam Chomsky to do with the antiwar right?

What has Noam Chomsky to do with the antiwar right? Precisely nothing. But to the readers of Frontpage, and

apparently to Gancarski, there is little need to explain this seeming anomaly. And that is Gancarski’s great

problem as a writer: he never explains, or argues, but merely asserts, without evidence, and without links.

(This is the Internet, but you’d never know it from his polemics: in his current screed, we get not a single

link out of him. This is the mark of a writer who expects us to take his word for everything.)

At any rate, according to Gancarski, his sojourn on the antiwar right meant that, "more or less without meaning

to, I went hard-left." He turned to the right, and found he’d turned to the left. Say what? The man is dizzy

with his own confusion.
