I like how the poster made the juvenile "nyah-nyah" argument by saying the Chomsky has written more books than you read.

That means your opinion is wrong because Chomsky is so much smarter than you. So, you should like him.

what a moron

How does a second-rate professor of linguistics become an expert in international politics?

Easy. When he's a dupe of the ones who want us all dead.

Your commenter may be on to something, Frank. I mean, just because someone hates America, you suddenly get all nasty towards them? What's up with that.

On the other hand, maybe Moore and Chomsky should ask themselves, "Why do I hate that they hate that I hate them?" Or something.

Noam strikes me as an individual who likes to have ideas that are shocking and then goes about finding evidence to support his shocking ideas. To paraphrase the Simpsons, he tries to be "...weird for the sake of being wierd."

Useless.

So, my intelligent readers, why don't you like Noam Chomsky?

Since when do I need a reason? "Because" always was good enough for my mom when I was a kid and it's good enough for ME now.

Okay fine....
he MAY smell like a monkey...

I know for a fact he flings poo (have you read his stuff?)

Bill Whittle said it best, so I'll let him do the talking:

"This is how you lie by telling the truth. You tell the big lie by carefully selecting only the small, isolated truths, linking them in such a way that they advance the bigger lie by painting a picture inside the viewer’s head. The Ascended High Master of this Dark Art is Noam Chomsky.

"I have long admired Noam Chomsky. It must be absolutely intoxicating to be able to write so free of any ethical constraints. Chomsky flitters and darts through the vast expanse of human experience, unerringly searching out those few, isolated data points that run contrary to the unimaginably vast ocean of facts crashing ashore in the opposite direction.

"Here’s a Noam Chomsky moment for those of you without enough duct tape to wrap around your heads to keep your brains from exploding while you actually read his works:

"Let’s say we stand overlooking the ocean along Pacific Coast Highway. From high atop the cliffs, we look down to the waves and the sand below. I ask you what color the beach is. You reply, reasonably enough, that it is sandy white. And you are exactly right.

"However, there are people who cannot see the beach for themselves because they are not standing with us on this very spot. This is where Noam earns his liberal sainthood. Noam takes a small pail to the beach and sits down in the sand.

"If you’ve ever run sand through your fingers, you know that for all of the thousands upon thousands of white or clear grains, there are a few dark ones here and there, falling through your fingers. With a jewelers loupe and an EXCEEDINGLY fine pair of tweezers, you carefully and methodically pluck all of the dark grains you can find – and only the dark grains – and carefully place them, one by one, into your trusty bucket.

"It will take you a long time – it has taken Chomsky decades – to fill this bucket, but with enough sand and enough time, you will eventually do so. And then, when you do, you can make a career touring colleges through the world, giving speeches about the ebony-black beaches of Malibu, and you can pour your black sand onto the lectern and state, without fear of contradiction, that this sand was taken from those very beaches.

"And what you say will be accurate, it will be factually based, and you will be lying like the most pernicious son of a bitch that ever lived...

"Shortly after 9/11, and somewhat before the “Taliban forces did finally succumb, after astonishing endurance” St. Noam thundered that America’s “Silent Genocide” in Afghanistan would kill – pick a number, any number -- somewhere between 3 to 4 million civilians. At one point, he intimated that up to 10 million could die.

"The real number was around 500.

"Being Noam Chomsky means you get a pass for being wrong not by a factor of ten to one, or even a hundred to one. In Afghanistan, Chomsky was wrong by a factor of 20,000 to one. . .

"Misdirection. Unsubstantiated allegations. Undocumented assertions. Counting a few scattered hits and ignoring millions of misses. You can prove anything in this manner, if your audience is a willing accomplice and refuses to challenge you.

"Michael Moore used exactly this technique to make people believe that America is a land of terrified, racist murderers who are armed to the teeth solely because of their fear of black people. For this he was given an Academy Award, and Bowling for Columbine has been called “the best documentary film ever made.”"

If he would change just one little letter in his first name, he could be the beloved Norm, our favorite beer drinking philosopher from Cheers.

But NOoooo, the stubborn commie son of a bitch just won't do it. The hell with him.

Rumsfeld thinks Noam Chomsky is great... TO STRANGLE!

LOOK OUT NOAM!!

Hehehe... I think Bill Whittle of Eject! Eject! Eject! had the best description of Noam I have ever read. It's too bad I can't find it right now. :(

Edit: I'm glad someone's on the ball (thanks David!). I'd be happy just to find the playing field...

1. His stupid name (I think the county clerk just mistyped his birth certificate and his parents went along with it since it sounded cooler than Norman)

2. He's a hero to people who have Moveon.org, DU, and [i]The Nation[/i] in their favorites folder.

3. He's one of those types of pundits who believe that his right to free speech is unassailable and all who would try to critisize (sp?) are censoring him. Yet he and his followers have no objection to shouting down any whose view doesn't agree with theirs.

4. As Mike the Marine said: "Because".

How do you solve a problem like Noam Chomsky? A few ways.

1) Get a hundred computers running Mathematica to solve those nasty equations.

2) Double tap to the forehead.

3) Kidnap him, and implant into his brain a device that, whenever he goes off on some moonbat rant, gives him a painful electric shock. Kinda like the v-chip thing Cartman had in the South Park movie. Except make sure that Mr Chomsky can't use it to shoot jets of electricity out of his fingers a la Cartman.

How do you solve a problem like Noam?

Easy...

7.62mm between the eyes at 500m...

Reach out and touch an a-hole...

"How does a second-rate professor of linguistics become an expert in international politics?"

How does an intellectually vacuous, spoiled, Yankee rich kid and business failure become a southern-revenge, neocon-darling president? It's a great country.

I don't actually know a lot about Noam Chomsky, but I just want to say that that is the best picture of Donald Rumsfeld I've ever seen. He even has a pen so he can stab you while he strangles you!

Problem: Chompsky, Noam.

Solution: One (1) .38 FMJ round to the temple.

Results: Rather messy, but effective way to silence a nitwit.

Hey Jeff from PRMd. Is that a 7.62 X 39 (NATO) or 7.62 X 54 (Mosin)?

Although the NATO round is more widely available for revolution's sake, it's recommended for injury rather than death, to assure that, with one enemy shot, two more would have to take Noam Chomsky back from the front line. The Mosin round will do the trick with just one shot, and blow this guy into the sometimes gently, sometimes wrathful, hands of the Almighty.

Why do I hate Noam Chomsky? Because the University of Florida thinks it's cool to pay him a ridiculous amount of money to come give a speech so that they can quiet down all the foaming-at-the-mouth liberals who got so mad when Ari Fleischer was here last month.

bilbus: the NATO round is 7.62 x 51 (essentially the .308); the commie round is 7.62 x 39 (as happily fired in millions of AK-47's). The 7.62 x 54 is the trusty 30'06 I do believe. (There is also a long case Russian 30 cal., BTW.) I don't have the faintest idea what you mean by "Mosin".
:)

Does it matter which tool you use to do a job. Just as long as it gets done...

Becides, the Mosin is a good rifle. With a good Redfeild or Zeiss on top, 500m is not too difficult to hit what you aim at...

Personally, I would use a M240 w/ belted ammo. One must make sure, and, volume outweighs presision (sometimes...)

OK, I'm going to stop f*cking with you guys.

I can't say as I hate the guy - he's done quite a bit of good work in linguistics (and somewhat indirectly, into Computer Science). I pity him more than anything - one of my professors for Formal Lnaguages, who was qutie liberal, told us to only read his techinical discussions, that his political writing is rambling and used faulty logic.

I place the blame more on the people that look up to him as a god. So, a pretty smart guy is very liberal - guess what, I know several Phd's who are very conservative and famous in thier field (and Chomsky would only be famous in his field if he wasn't so vocal and extreme in his polotics). This is the same as "star worship", you can publish all day long and still be wrong, you can make a ton of movies and be wrong - the argument that he has "published more books than you have read" is irrelevent - there are conservative authors that have probably done just the same, more than several published more than Chomsky.

It is a case of mental midgets deciding what they believe then shopping for someone smarter than they so they can go out and feel good that they are at the same level as Chomsky - I mean they agree on all those points right?

I hate Chomsky because when ever I go shopping for books in my town they have his prominently displayed while Ann Coulter is hidden.

Stupid liberal college towns.

Besides being an assclown, I hate Noam Chomsky for the following idiotic opinions and statements he's shared:

-Corporations are fascist and incompatible with democracy. (May 1994)
-Capital punishment is a crime. (May 1994)
-Drug War is an excuse for US military intervention abroad. (Jan 1991)
-US aid to Americas correlates with torture by governments. (Jan 1991)
-West plans to exploit Eastern Europe. (Jan 1991)
-WTO is just another tool for US intervention abroad. (Mar 1997)
-Free trade is all about corporate subsidies. (Jan 1991)
-Divert military spending to preventable diseases abroad. (May 1997)
-CIA created Osama bin Laden & fostered fanaticism. (Sep 2001)
-Islamic hatred based on US support for repressive regimes. (Sep 2001)
-US chartered UN & must follow UN decisions on Iraq. (Jul 1999)
-Vietnam War about destroying “virus” of independence from US. (Jan 1991)
-Israeli nukes should preclude foreign aid. (Jan 1991)
-Gulf War: US refused diplomacy & forced violence in Iraq. (Jan 1991)
-Gulf War had nothing to do with principles. (Jan 1991)

Yep, those are enough reasons to hate him. Plus, he probably smells bad.

Here here!

Those are perfectly good reasons to hate Chompsky.

Way to go Patriette.

He referred to Vaclav Havel as "morally repugnant". Havel is an artist and politician who has actually lived under a truly oppressive political system, and actually suffered under a truly oppressive political system, and actually put his ass on the line and took responsibility for his society and culture.

So, really, f**k Chomsky with a rusty pitchfork.

Why do I hate Gnome Chimpsky?

Because nobody has yet come up with just ONE good reason NOT to hate him.

Besides, he's stupid AND ugly and he doesn't have a vagina, which makes him pretty durn useless in my book.

Hmmmm, is it just my prejudice, or are have all of the heroes of the Democrats for the past few years been pretty lame. There doesn't seem to be any intllectual equivalents to the old New Deal Democrats like former NY Senator Moynihan, except sorta possibbly Liberman and he's getting no traction at all with what passes for the majority of the activist Democrats who determine who wins the Presidential primaries. Not enough monkey butt beer being consumed is my guess.

I hate him because he sucked me into his bizarro world for a brief time. (Big thanks to A.J. Nock and T. Sowell for the lifeline and mental Heimlich maneuver.)

Whittles analysis is spot on regarding Chomsky's methods. I would only add that he is very good at dropping contexts when challenged.

I saw him on some Q&A program on C-Span (not Washington Journal) and an audience member asked him how he could be so against capitalism when it obviously benefits so many by raising their standard of living. Chomsky's reply was that US slaves experienced a rising standard of living also but that didn't make slavery morally acceptable. The questioner was left dumbstruck and the event proceeded on.

Chomsky is slick and very unflappable. As an earlier poster mentioned he's amassed ALOT of minutiae over the years. Quite a bit of his "facts" are from obscure sources making very difficult to counter.

Lastly, he's a conspiracy kook. I saw him on Booknotes and he was telling Brian Lamb about how the Kennedy assasination was the most popular topic in his personal correspondence.

Chomsky is a commie version of Lyndon LaRouche. If he wasn't a talented Linquist he would be just another member of the tin-foil hat brigades.

My beef? Everyone knows the proper spelling of Noam is Gnome.

The SOB has brought shame to my alma mater.

Watch his documentary "The Power and the Terror" and hear how tired he is because he's been up since 9 am and then at the end watch him get into a chauffeured Mercedes. If the lecturing doesn't kill you first.

Note:
Here they all are...

7.62x63 Heh heh... 30-06 M1 Garand and Springfield
7.62x54 rimmed Moisen Nagant & Dragunov
7.62x51 NATO good ol' .308
7.62x39 AK Round
7.62x33 M-1 Carbine fun to shoot but you better have a full magazine.(Frank, these work well on monkeys)

Anyway, the important stuff already being said(and best by Whittle) I will simply say that Noam Chomsky is an asshat.

A real professor of linguistics, such as Marc Miyake of the Univ. of Hawaii http://www.amritas.com/ can fisk a phony like Chompsky in his sleep! His multilingual articles are a model of thoroughness.

he's slippery as an eel, and his fawning, adoring, brain-numb legions of followers refuse to admit that he has been wrong about ANYTHING, EVER, regardless of how much evidence we can produce contrary to his statement.
quite honestly, i think having that much power over people is kind of creepy... maybe he's an evil mutant of some sort?
*shudder*

mmmmmm...... Dragunov......
I actually like the thumbhole stock.

I'm not to "quick on the draw". My brain is smaller than the average idiots. But I say take those two sons of bitches, stuff them in the trunk of a 1960's Chevy and roll thier asses into the Atlantic Ocean off the Jersey shore. Surely Europe is the direction of thier exile.

As I sit here w/ my Glock mod. 21(.45 cal.), I think, perhapse Bilbus has the right idea. But, I'm wasteful. I want to emty a 13 round clip in both thier ball bags. Granted, due to the lack thereof, I wouldn't be shootn' no stones. I'll split those sacks so the filthy French'll think they're a couple o' bull dykes, w/ enlarged clits, for the fuckn'.

7.62x54 rimmed Moisen Nagant & Dragunov

If it's rimmed then you add R to the end...

Why is it that accomplished people feel they can range outside their field of expertise and still speak with authority? And why do people take them seriously?

Actually, the assorted .30 caliber cartridges break down as follows:

7.62X39 = AK47/SKS commie cartridge
7.62X51 = NATO round a.k.a. .308 Winchester
7.62X54R = rimmed Russian cartridge, used in Mosin and Dragunov rifles
7.62X63 = Euroweenie name for .30-06 Springfield - I guess they couldn't handle a name that manly.

Because he's repeatedly given the Khmer Rouge a free pass on their legecy of genocide, originally claiming that their mass murders never happened and later, when confronted with irrifutable evidence that mass murder had in fact taken place in Cambodia, started claiming that the US did it.

Plus, he's a premeditated fucking liar.

i don't understand why you guys are even thinking about little guns and bullets. how about the new smith & wesson .500 magnum. muzzle energy 2600 ft.-lb. (compared to the .357 magnum at only 500 ftlb). has a nice 440 grain, gas checked load (or use something weaker if you're a wuss). truly the American way for chumpsky to leave - and, i'll bet it makes a pretty satisfying bang.

p.s. do you need a reason to hate haters?

There's a pretty good analysis on why Chomsky's linguistics are as crappy as his politics here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/865339/posts.

"Prior to Chomsky, linguists engaged in a lot of data collection to understand the diversity of human language. I'm vehemently anti-PC, but in this case, I think the word 'diversity' is justified. There's a lot out there, and someone's got to catalog it.

However, Chomsky rejected this approach. He wanted to look into something 'deeper' (academese for 'pretentious and nonexistent'). So he invented something called 'universal grammar' which is somehow programmed into us at birth. Now it is obvious to anyone who's studied a foreign language that there is no such thing as 'universal grammar': there are a lot of differences between any two languages' structures. How does Chomsky account for these differences? He claims that we formulate 'deep structures' in our heads using 'universal grammar'. Then we use 'transformations' to change these (invisible, nonexistent) 'deep structures' into 'surface structures' (which are what we actually say and write). There are innumerable problems with this. For starters:

1. Where did this 'universal grammar' come from, and how did it end up becoming part of our biology? Not many Chomskyans are interested in evolutionary biology. 'Universal grammar' simply IS. (I myself suspect that there may be a universal grammar sans scare quotes, but I doubt that it has much in common with Chomskyan 'universal grammar'.)

2. How can we see this 'universal grammar' and 'deep structures' if they are hidden behind 'transformations'?

3. How can we see the 'transformations'?

4. How can any child learn the 'transformations' (which are extremely complex and often counterintuitive, even to university graduate students in linguistics)?

Since no one can see 'universal grammar', 'deep structures', or 'transformations', one can imagine ANYTHING and create a maze of rules to convert ghost forms into what is actually being said and written. The Chomskyan approach to grammar is oddly English-like, even though many languages are UNlike English. This has absurd but dangerous consquences:

1. As a friend of mine pointed out, Chomsky, the enemy of "AmeriKKKa", is actually an ethnocentric advocate of imposing an English-like structure on all of the languages of the world."

Read the rest. If you had even a modicum of respect for Chomsky's linguistics before, this will disabuse you of them.

As far as firepower goes, I like the ultimate gun: the Vulcan 30mm cannon on the A-10 Warthog.

6 MILLION foot-pounds of energy. The shock wave from a near miss would almost be enough to kill. Of course, a direct hit would be pink mist time.

I love the guy. He is the poster boy for vacuous, lamebrained lefties who are kept in a constant state of orgasmic exstacy over his poorly constructed and patently ridiculous pronouncements on everything that is beyond his comprehension. This keeps these clowns busy ranting and raving, demonstrating to the world that they don't have a clue, therefore irrelevant. We should all chip in and get him sent to the next world Moslem conference, then leak the word that he is really an Orthodox Jew and a closet Zionist who has an autographed photo of Golda Meir, captioned: "To my Bubby Noam...Your Goldie.
For those who advocate the insertion of ballistics into the discussion. I am a proponent of the 16" 50cal. naval gun to deal with Noamy. I am qualified to operate this particular weapon and feel that it would be quite adequate to deal with Noam and the closest 50, or more, rows of his audience. Just get me within 23 miles of one of his lectures.

I hate him simply because he would deliver my children and grandchildren into the hopeless slavery of socialism.

I forgot the solution. It's simple, beat him down with a riot stick and shove a wooden stake through his heart(if any).

I hate him because he is one of the reasons I have lost all my old friends. They all adore him and I can't tolerate the disconnect, nor can they.

The lefties like Gnome Chompsky because of the reasons stated by Bill Whittle. But I'd like to add that the disconnect between Gnome's vocation and his asshat rantings are not unlike the bumper sticker you often see on the cars of moron Donk's. You know the one: The face of Albert Einstein with the quote, "You cannot have peace while simultaneously preparing for war."

What this proves is that you can be a genius at quantifiable subjects, and be a complete idiot in understanding human nature. Further, Einstein fled Hitler's Germany because he could see the handwriting on the wall. Even more, he signed on to promoting the Manhattan Project. How's THAT for hypocrisy?!

all the above reasons, plus this one:

He's a liberal retard who somehow manages to think that America is bad. If it's so bad he can take the next one-way trip to France and good riddance. But it isn't, so he stays here and makes ****loads of money telling other idiots that it is, thereby reinforcing their stupid notion that America is bad.

I'd have to say that I'd rather use a 12-guage loaded with 12grams of crystallized rock salt (CaCl2 from a range of about 20', then put him in rural Texas for a week with no painkillers, and then whichever of the forementioned weapons to finish up - preferably the Vulcan-30mm with DU slugs.

Ah, the 30mm Avenger Cannon. Go here if you are a Warthog fan:

and as for Chomsky, stuff a MOAB in his shorts.

my parents (born 1900 and 1918) escaped the wonderful soviet union after ww2. they lost many relatives and friends in the process, and could not believe their good fortune to come to America. they worked hard, never asked for any handouts, and were grateful for their new life. along comes "chump" and wants me to relive the horrors of their lives (forced collectivization, disregard of individual rights, lack of property rights, abuse of religious rights, etc., etc., etc.).

my only problem is that i can carry my smith and wesson .500 magnum on my horse (like a good cossack), and i don't have a worthog (though i like the concept). i'm only trying to be realistic.

Noam Chomsky made a simple discovery... he didn't have to teach linguistics... rather he could spew nonsense, and as long as enough syllables were strewn about, ego driven liberal arts students would interpret such contradictory idiocy as 'genius'...

Bored... he used the same tactics in spouting on politics...

So there is no purpose to his ranting, other then to take such an outrageously contrary position that the self serving liberal egotist elites can congratulate themselves by embracing their own failure as ‘rejecting the system’… which of course has to be corrupt or they would all be equally worshipped for their ‘genius’.

TO: All
RE: Why?

Probably because even a stopped clock is right twice a day. But Noam has only been right once in his entire writing lifetime. [Note: I did like his argument about Manufacturing Consent. But I saw it from a different perspective.]

I've been right more than he has.

Regards,

Chuck(le)

A good reason to hate him is that Zack DeLaRocha, former frontman (I hesitate to say "singer") of Rage Against the Machine (or, as I like to call them, "Rage Against Homework") dug Chomsky's stuff, and often told his legions of drooling, poorly-informed, leftist fans to read Noam's garbage.
Also, I'm pretty sure Chomsky is a big fan of cop-killing scumbag Mumia Abu Jamal.

My way to rid this dickhead would be The Texas Round. Dave from Texas might have heard of this one. You take a 12-gauge shell and load it with dimes. Expensive, yes. Devastating, oh hell yeah! And it makes a cool sound upon impact ssshtoink!

Texas shootin' solution:

Can't think of a better way to spend 3 bucks in dimes. Cha-ching!

Somewhere between 80 and 100 million dead in the 20th century to communism.

So many that the error of margin is more than Hitler murdered during the Third Reich.

Noam Chomsky is a communist apologist.

Is that reson enough?

Because the assclown says things like this:

"I was attracted to anarchism as a young teenager, as soon as I began to think about the world beyond a pretty narrow range, and haven't seen much reason to revise those early attitudes since."--Red & Black Revolution No 2 1996

"The US and its increasingly pathetic British lieutenant want the world to understand -- and in particular want the people of the Middle East region to understand -- that "What We Say Goes," as Bush defined his New World Order while the missiles were raining on Baghdad in February 1991. The message, clear and simple, is that we are violent and lawless states, and if you don't like it, get out of our way." --http://www.zmag.org/chomsky/index.cfm

"The fact that the United States can label other countries as terrorist states itself is quite remarkable because it not a secret that the United States is incontrovertibly a terrorist state."--http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=21&ItemID=4132

Need I continue?

I hate him because he's either:

1. An Idiotarian Asshat of the First Water, with accompanying Disconnect From Reality;

or

2. A con man.

Either way, fucke hime and his bloodline, verrily.

How to deal with him?

American Sunshine, baybee!

"Noam" is Hebrew for "pleasant." Unfortunately, Chomsky lives not up to his name.

And "Chompsky" is the Polish/Jewish word for "Son of Chomp".

Wow, could there, like, be any possible connection? Say it ain't so! This is way to freaky.

When I see a pile of Chmsky books at a bookstore, i get some little cards and write notes to put into the books, with messages like:

Chomsky is a ball-less commie wimp.
Rumsfeld could beat Chomsky with a sockful of spit.
Chomsky is a sockful of spit.
Chomsky lies and loves lucre for a living.
In 25 years, when Chomsky is dead, I'll still be making money in the stockmarket!

perhaps you don't like Noam Chomsky because he tells the truth and doesn't dumb things down enough for you. your stupid little shit ass can;t that though.. so just make fun of his name.
fuck you.

nice pic of rumsfeld.. too bad on fox news you won't hear the latest on him. when he was shakin hands with saddam (literally search for the picture) back in the 80's saddam was using chemical weapons at the same time and rumsfeld endorsed it.

I haven't seen a neo-con even TRY to spin this one. His actions are inexcusable, and nobody even has the guts (not even him) to try and re-work the history of this one.
Unfortunately it will probably just be buried like every other bit of politically damaging news for the Bush administration. God how I'd love to ask Rumsfeld a question:

"um, Mister Rumsfeld.. a minute ago when you said that Saddam's regime was like, satanic and evil and that he should be killed immediately, yeah, I'm wondering if you ever actually said that to Saddam after he killed all of those people.. and if so did he bitch-slap you.. oh and I have a follow up.."

rummy: "...we have addressed this before.. securi-"

danny: "so i think i'm going to bitch slap you.."

.... or maybe ari fliesher:

danny: "ari, ari.. are you resigning because bush is about to post-emptively change this nations motives for war and these statements of yours do not coincide with his new doctrine o' democracy?"

or perhaps slick-dick cheney:

Danny: "Dick! hey Dickhead! Where the hell do you sleep at night? The woods in england by that weapon inspectors house? nevermind new question, what did you do with the old satan? I mean is there like a temporary hell where all of us liberals are going to stay until you are voted out of office.. just curious cuz i'm a smoker."

k that's enough.. can't wait to see all of the neo-con nascar dad's tell how "gay" and "dumb" i am. why don't you guys stop using computers and go watch some football. fuckwits.

Holy crap! What is this a clan rally or something? You people are the evil ones, not the rest of the world. "Peace through superior firepower?" My god you people are ignorant.

Wow - I never thought I'd hear people having a discussion about someone they don't like by talking about putting a gun to that person's head. That shows how far we've come in society. Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein would be proud of all of you.

So, if you've actually read something by the Chomsky that you criticize, you would know that he lashes out an enormous amount on "liberals", as well (which is why many liberals reject him, as well). If the Nuremburg laws applied, every President since World War 2 would have been guilty - he has many specific references to JFK and Clinton. I am ashamed to learn what these presidents have done, and you should be too. He also says that use of force to defend yourself is completely legitimate.

The problem here, is that he also criticizes your darlings in the Bush administration. Oh well - so much for an open mind. Get your guns and shoot down the opposition (remember majority rules; minority rights), and proclaim that you have preserved the sanctity of democracy. . .

I hate Noam Chomsky because he is a booklearner. He expects people to think and ask questions. That kindof thing is how them darnd communists got so powerful!

Here's to politics Hitler style...if you don't agree with someone...kill them. The founding fathers would be very proud of all of you for wanting to uphold the Constitution and freedom of speech.

The USA is on the way to being bankrupt but the war dogs keep on spending - got to secure all that mid-east oil for our SUV's! We will see how funny it all is when the United States of North America goes down the toilet and becomes indebted to Japan and China. Start getting used to speaking Mandarin!

I find it very funny, but also rather sad, that while conservatives just love attacking us lefties for our alleged moral relativism, they still think it's okay to murder somebody they don't like. They also think it's okay to kill thousands of innocent civilians in the name of "national security." But of course, they're probably not really innocent anyway -- they ARE Muslim, after all. That's right -- that two-year-old who just lost his head in a U.S. airstrike was secretly planning to blow up the White House.

Who are you people? And what government teat are you sucking from? I'll tell you this, suck-a-plenty 'cause once you are on it, you need the most you can get... if you really knew what capitalism was, you'd realize you're living a lie... but no matter, as Americans we should just pat ourselves on the back and say "...there's nothing wrong with us or this country...we're great!" after all, there is this forum where we can offer 0 amount of fact or support, but like one ignorant fool said to the other, "...it's okay, I saw this on television..."

Don't give Chomsky much thought... after all, the greatest idea that he stresses in his speeches is that you dont have to believe him, just start thinking for yourselves... his ideas aren't far out there, he just knows how to convey them... and this is just me speaking; most people are not necessary enlightened by him, but rather reassured of the thoughts and ideas their own logic has led them to believe.

Think for yourselves and dont waste time on hating...

I am amazed at the pitiful hatred on this site. All this talk of shooting Chompsky, etc. It is great to know that others still have compassion for human life. That is what makes Chompsky a respectable individual. He relizes that none of us had a say in our births and that whether you are born on this side of the earth or the other that we are all living beings. The hatred you feel should be directed to those who try to control the world ( if you know who these controlers would be). Search for the truth. Hatred breeds violence. Some people should perhaps spend less time in front of the brainwashing televisions set and more time reading. Chompsky is trying to get the truth to the public. But the blood thirsty may be beyond help.

On my above comment I retract the statement on directing hatred on to the controllers. The better thing to have said is lose the hatred and channel that energy in a better way. Perhaps seeking the truth and learning to love instead of hate. Our true race after all is not the color of our skins or what part of the world we are born in. We are all homosapiens. That is what should human compassion really is about.

Also: People should not be so self centered and egotistical. That also creates problems. Learn to love others and the diversity of people and you will find true happiness and peace.

I had a real good laugh reading this page. Thanks guys.

Personally, I really like Chomsky. I was really drawn to the structure of his speeches. I agree with alot of what he says. Of course, I'm not saying he's 100% grade a right.

But no country should try to police the earth or shout 'we are right, we will make you think we are' through the barrel of a gun.'

Death is no solution. It is an end to all means.

Cow goes moo.

You f**krs are some really sick and twisted "patriots"!!

Ye are all tits. I wonder how many of ye actually have read one of his books or have gone to one of his lectures. then for once, maybe you would do some research for yourself instead of listening to any kind of bullshit that is fed to ye. ye will see that his facts, although scary and intimidating, are true to life and his 'hate' as ye put it over and over and over again for America is in some ways justified or else ye may just realise that he is pointing out the truth and ye are too chicken shit to comprehend it. What is yeir problem? do ye not want to hear the truth or are ye just unwilling to listen? at times opinions like yours (although you are entitled to it) makes no sense and only demeans the human race. Enjoy your lives in the closet!

Raise of hands; who's read a WHOLE book by Chomsky? How about FIVE books? Who even actually knows his point of view other than through the lens of David Horowitz? I think you're all very intellectually dishonest. Good luck with your lemming act, though. And remember, there's a WORLD of difference between Chomsky and, say, any democrat. They don't like him, nor he they. Nader in '08!
