| 1,400 Democrats Applaud Noam Chomsky's Antisemitism At Pacific University Speech |
| 2011-04-21 |
| The 1,400-seat gymnasium was packed to capacity Wednesday afternoon as Pacific students and visitors from across the metro area gathered to listen to an hour-long lecture from the famed philosopher, linguist and political critic. Chomsky also advocated for organized labor and spoke at length about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict -- an issue for which his outspoken anti-Israel stance has garnered widespread scrutiny. “If the U.S. joined the world, Israel would have to do what the master said,” he told the audience, drawing applause. “Everyone has been asking each other if they’re going,” a student said. “All of my professors – even science professors – have been talking about how famous he is.” “All of this leads to broader issues of world order, he said. “I’ll talk about that somewhere else in a couple of hours.” He quickly exited the room at 1:30 p.m. sharp, rushing off to Eugene, where he’ll give a free public lecture at the University of Oregon, titled "Global Hegemony: The Facts, The Images." A man who has done more than Jefferson Davis to keep the black man down. |

| #7 Israel is the promised land, does this guy change any of that? No. Well, then Im not going to wish death on him. Hummus farts or an all expense paid trip to a Kibbutz maybe. |

| #5 Chomsky and noted linguist Greenburg theorized similarly that all human language formed from some hard-wired "DNA" in the brain giving sets of instructions. Sounded good in theory.... In practice, however, not so much. More recently Chomsky/ Greenburg Theory has been disproven. Cutting edge current linguists have traced all language back to four linguistic groups, and all 7,000 dialects branched from there. Languages aren't innate brain encoding bubbling from brain to lips and pentip, but rather, cultural adaptations. |

| #4 He made up some utter crap about languages. Turned out slightly useful for programming languages, but utterly useless when discussing actual human languages. Oh, and he cheered for Pol Pot's genocide. |
