Funny, I always felt Chomsky needed fear in order to sell his books.

U.S. linguist and political dissident Noam Chomsky

This should read "communist running dog and die hard Stalinist" Noam Chomsky.

Disgraceful that the democrats have turned denouncing the country from foreign soil into the latest fad. These pigs won't be happy till we're all lliving in a totalitarian state.

He is wasting oxygen on this planet.

Quick, don't let him back in!

Chomsky praised Cuba's defiance of U.S. hostility and trade sanctions for four decades. But he also criticized the jailing of 75 Cuban dissidents earlier this year by Castro's government.

"Yes, I have criticized them for that," he said in an interview on August 28 with Radio Havana. "I think it was a mistake."

Well, that'll teachem!

Is it pledge time on PBS/NPR? They always feature something Chomsky during pleadge breaks so his loyal followers have an icon they can relate to,,,

It astonishes me that a man could make his career as an apologist for autocrats and his reputation only soars. Chomsky digs himself deeper with every word he writes and no one in the press notices, their admiration knows no bounds.

No one who actually reads him notices, he depends upon the fact that hardly anyone knows their history well enough to dispute him, and no one who reads him knows their economics well enough to see that for an economist, he is a linguistics specialist.

Because his audience is such a blank slate, he is free to re-invent himself as a renaissance man of the new millenium. In the land of the blind, the guy tripping on acid is king.

I see that old socialist airhead is still getting invited out. If he doesn't feel useful at such gatherings, I suspect his handlers must think he is.

Cunning Linguist Noam Chomsky and Congressional Hate-Monger Lefty Pelosi have now both gone to foreign countries to denounce the president. How come they lack the courage to say that sort of thing here?

[inquest]

"Dissident"? Just what exactly is Reuters trying to imply?

This is the same outfit that refused to use the word "terrorist" because it might damage their objectivity.

[Fledermaus]

Can't this guy hurry up and die? Oh, I mean Castro and Norm.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Chomsky...like Lord Byron - is proof that knowledge and talent don't equate to intelligence and insight.

[KC_Conspirator]

Noam Chomsky is a piece of hate-America filth and should be deported to Cuba.
