Noam Chomsky's senile blog
(parenthetical remarks) ^ | 1/26/2005 | parenthetical

This is for any of you who think Noam Chomsky is a bit of a tool. Have you ever seen his atrocious blogs? The best part is when he compares people who are upset with the actions of the insurgents to Nazi and Stalin sympathizers. Yep.

Here's my take on Nim Chimsky and his two terrible blogs:

Noam Chomsky, Bloggin' Fool


TOPICS: Computers/Internet; Military/Veterans; Society
KEYWORDS: blog; chomsky; insurgents; iran; iraq; israel; moralrelativism; nazi; stalin; syria

The first link in my post is to his abandoned blog. Scroll down and you'll find his current crap-sheet. That's where he makes the Nazi/Stalin comparison. Oh, the humanity.

A note: I went to grad school at a VERY left-wing NYC university and one of the first things I learned there is that Chomsky has a low reputation among Poly-Sci faculty. The head of the department thought his political writings were virtually worthless, and this from a prof who has written books on SDS and Foucault. Very enlightening. I guess not every knee jerks.

From Noam Chomsky's Blog

The Cuban health system is a particularly thorn in Washington's side, its biotech industry as well. http://blog.zmag.org/ttt/archives/000897.html

And

"The Oracle
I caught a tiny bit of Kerry's speech yesterday, Obama's speech before that, and I am prepared to venture some predictions. First, I believe that the Democrats will win in November. Why? Not because I believe that the US is a democracy, or that the people's will will prevail, or that the election is a matter of citizens' choice. The opposite is true. I believe that this election is like a year-long job interviewing/application process. It's reality TV, like that show where Donald Trump selected a manager by progressively firing elite youths. Like that show, the employer is the elite. The candidates are Kerry and Bush. And the criteria are very simple: who is going to be the better imperial manager. Who is going to better fulfill the desires of the elite at this particular time. http://blogs.zmag.org/killingtrain/

***********

The first statement? I know our health care system is keen with respect to technology and procedures such as transplant abilities, etc. BioTech? Does Cuba have a Castro version of Merck and a Pfizer?

As well, I worked the election polls in Nov. in Montgomery Co. Rockville, MD. This Kerry supporting POLL WATCHER told me he thought Kerry would win by 30 electoral votes.

Chomsky grew up in a very cloistered orthodoxy. Chomsky's detached worldview processes humans, the human condition, and humanity as mere abstractions. Those who unconditionly accept Chomsky's essentially misanthropic worldview have great reverence for him, and those who reject his connate misanthropy have no reverence for him at all.

Even Chomsky, linguistic grandmaster, cannot avoid convoluted thinking.

Some would say Chomsky is not even a linguistic grandmaster. Check out amritas.com as some dissent against Noamuhammed.

"Some would say Chomsky is not even a linguistic grandmaster. Check out amritas.com as some dissent against Noamuhammed."

If one has to parse through Noam's obscurities and convolutions (or rhetorical deceptions), one finds that the nihilistic writer's logic is circuitous. Parsing Noam is like taking a trip on the proverbial straight line drawn into infinity which returns from its circular route to Noam's original warped source. I don't know why he lives in America when Saturn best suits his state of mind.

Thanks for the reference.
