Bernie Sanders Digs Noam Chomsky, MSM Yawns
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/24/2015 5:50:54 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

In a bid to pump up his anemic African-American support, Bernie Sanders very publicly chowed down yesterday with rapper Killer Mike, who at a subsequent rally endorsed Sanders. Reporting on the meeting of the unlikely duo, the Washington Post wrote that among other things they discussed "their mutual appreciation for the work of the philosopher Noam Chomsky."

So Bernie digs Noam Chomsky. You remember Noam: condemned the killing of Bin Laden and said that George W.'s crimes "vastly exceed bin Laden's;" self-described anarchist-socialist; member of Marxist Industrial Workers of the World; agnostic on the Holocaust, doesn't think Holocaust denial is anti-Semitic; banned from visiting Israel because of anti-Israel positions; defender of the genocidal Khmer Rouge. So what has been the MSM's reaction to Sanders fondness for Chomsky? Crickets, of course. Try to imagine the MSM reaction if a leading GOP presidential candidate expressed appreciation for a similarly-controversial figure on the far right.

How would MSM react if Republican presidential candidate expressed admiration for a Holocaust agnostic and critic of the killing of Bin Laden?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Is Bernie pictured with his campaign running mate?

Chomsky surely up there with Bill Ayers, Saul Alinsky and Howard Zinn on the list of “Most Destructive Americans of the 20th. Century”.

No, I think that’s his “house-mate”. Or is that not politically correct?

Bernie locks down the all-important endorsement by Killer Mike. Why, that should just about do it then.

Gosh, if only Cruz and Trump could have a breakfast, or at least a beef jerky from a nearby 7-11 with Killer Mike...

Heck, most of the MSM think Chompsky is the greatest philosopher of the modern age. Isn’t that creature a professor of linguistics at MIT?

It’s amazing how many of “humanities worst” wind up with prestigious positions at major universities (Peter Singer @ Princeton, Bill Aires @ University of Chicago, NC @ MIT, the list goes on and on...)

Come on. At least 50% of the MSM admires Noam Chomsky.

Nothing like adopting the credo of a hardcore Marxist-Leninist to enhance his leftist chops.

Bernie Sanders clearly envisions an embrace of pre-World War II Russian communism for America’s future.

Because of course he does. Bernie is a hack 1970s commie. Has learned nothing since then except how to answer a cellular phone.

Chomsky is not a philosopher....he’s a polemicist.
