C-Span Live: John Mearsheimer is giving a remarkable speech

[rainy]

Is anyone watching? He is telling it like it is about America supporting Israel and Isreal's powerful lobby.

[angstlessk]

1. not on stream...talking about Iraq? n/t

[DrDan]

2. where? went to 1, 2, and 3 and cannot find Mearsheimer

Is he on the panel on CSPAN2 by any chance?

3. Hopefully, he has learned some things...

...and not just parroting his crappy paper.

6. in what way was his paper crappy?

Was his grammar just poor or can you provide a few glaring inaccuracies along with corrections? Or are you just jumping on anyone who is critical of Isreal just for the practice?

7. In many ways it was crappy.

I am not going to go into this whole spiel again. However, I will gladly point you to I/P where their paper was discussed and dissected because of intellectual dishonesty, propaganda speaking points, and a few other issues, to which grammar was not one I had heard. Noam Chomsky actually dissected it well. Just because someone is anti-Israeli doesn't mean they should be free from academic integrity, any more than it should be the other way around.

8. thanks, I'll check it out

one final question. Did you read the paper?

[Behind the Aegis]

9. I did!

The whoooooooooooole thing. It is dry. Do a search in I/P using his last name, it will get you the results quicker.

[tnlefty]

4. I watched quite a bit of it earlier.

Boy is he ever gonna get raked over the coals.

[rainy]

5. Someone has to speak truth to power. I guess he's got guts,

I posted this message late, when it was almost over. Sorry for those who missed it. It was live and well done. He talked about Israel's lobby and how we should not favor either side but the lobby's power of influence gives us a slanted view of reality.
