#1 Someone explain to me why the opinion of a linguistics person has any merit at all in the realm of geopolitics? My trash man is just as qualified in that area.

#2 Because they align so well with what liberals want to believe? I think it's a guilt thing.

#4 Intellectual? Renowned author?

And OldSpook - your trash man is *more* qualified - he actually lives in this reality.

Chomsky? Not so much.

#5 Noam Chomsky, the anti-Martin Luther King. A man who did more than Jefferson Davis to keep the black man down.

#6 And supporting the North Vietnamese regime wasn't supporting dictators? The left demands perfection of others of which they fail miserably at. How about all those little red books and Mao jackets that were so 'in' during the 60s. And who's pressing for more open relations with Cuba. Go pander your little guilt trip elsewhere clown.

#7 If you want to see how Rhetoric can become a mental illness, look no further than Noam Chomsky.

#8 Chumpsky further added that the Arab world [and the left and Obama] considers the United States and Israel "a real threat" to world security.

My humble opinion: Israel and the rest of us consider the Arab world a threat to the peace and stability of the Mideast region as well as the rest of the world.

#10 Chomsky on Cambodia: The few thousand who were killed by the Khmer Rouge were (like Nazi) collaborators. The "few thousand" turned out to be 2,000 thousands and 25% of the entire Cambodian population.

The Communist Noam Chomsky makes Walter Duranty seem like George (I cannot tell a lie) Washington in comparison. I can't think of a person, without actual blood on their hands, more deserving to burn in hell for eternity.

#11 American intellectual Noam Chomsky ...

I don't think that word means what you think it means.
