#1 Chomsky's parents must have made it their hobby to mindfuck little Noam.

#2 Most reports seem to indicate that Chomsky's parents were well within the normal range -- Chomsky has nobody to blame for his moral failings but himself. Besides being self-hating as a Jew, Chomsky is self-hating as an American while continually providing attempted exculpations for groups as evil as the genocidal Khmer Rouge, one suspects simply because they were anti-American. It's not so shocking that someone could hold his views; what's truly repellent is that he has so many respectful readers in the European and US left.

#4 Has this podex EVER met a tyrant he didn't like? Or a regime with ANY degree of freedom he didn't hate?

#5 When I moved to Manhattan 3 years ago I met Kenny and Elaine. (majormediabypass.com) Two veteran activists who absolutely fascinated me with their full palette of moonbattery, fresh out of the Western Desert as I was. They spoke about the support Noam Chomsky had given them, which amazed me given how little sense they made, all questions of right and wrong aside.
There is a lot of just plain pandering to a market in Chomsky. I don't doubt that he believes his spiel, but on a certain level- the bottom line- it sells.

#6 Also, the Islamic movement is always on the lookout for official, exemplary "spokespeople" for their movement in order to affect general thinking. It is an understood strategy and they routinely attempt to make friends with "higher ups" and then groom them for the movement. Those who go along with it never know about the strategy or that they were "marks."
