More nonsense from the lunatic left.
By definition an intellectual cannot exhibit any common sense. :-)
6 billion people on the planet...and this moron gets 4800 votes. Yeah. Real tidal waive of support.
While I despise Chomsky's politics and cannot believe that he is really the "top public intellectual", credit must be given where credit is due.
His work on linguistics has had a profound impact on computer programming languages (look into context free grammars...).
Noam Chomsky is the world's greatest intellectual. Thank G-d, that contest is over. Now we know. Thank You Holy Guardian- you are truly the best, also.
"More than 20,000 voters from around the world took part in selecting the winners from a list of 100."
Bill and Hillary are not amused.
Better known as Nim Chimpsky. Oh, my bad, Chomsky is Chimpsky's sock-puppet. I wonder where Chimpsky must put his hand to make Chomsky speak - eeew.

For as long as I can remember, which is over fifty years worth, most "intellectuals" have backed extreme left-wing regimes and theories. These people are supposed to be the guiding lights of humanity, but apparently they would like nothing more than to pack humanity away in prisons like the ex-communist regimes that were destroyed in the nineties. Chomsky is such an example of these deluded leftist intellectuals. He and Pinter are examples of the "geniuses" who know what's best for us. Of course people like Chomsky have already created the countries that they think are great for humanity. It's a pity that they don't go live in them.
It's a very white list, too. No Blacks, no Asians, no Hispanics, no Native Americans.
you are right that they overwhelmingly support holocausts of the left. this is no coincidence. the left puts these fools out there and with an efficient pr machine builds them into something of value, which is totally untrue. this whole intellectual crop of the 20th century is rigged.
he is a great linguistic! but an idiot thinker though ;-)
Top Intellectual Con Man. How pathetic.
For quite a while he denied the Cambodian genocide happened. Too bad he didn't check to see for himself like the late apologist for Pol Pot Gareth Porter, he of the infamous Institute for Policy Studies, who did stay in Cambodia a bit too long and who seems to have learned the truth the hard way. (Just Kidding, Noam.)
Chomsky.....BURB!!!
This is like voting for "best IQ."
Moronic.
I'm forced to conclude that at the core of every "great" thinker lies a totalitarian with the strong desire to rule the world. Why leftists think that socialism and communism are great things after what transpired in the twentieth century is a complete mystery to me.
Chimpsky is an intellectual? Gee I missed it. When did he say something even mildly bright?
Same way all leftists gain control,
