The Branding of the World's Top Intellectual: Noam Chomsky

Darn, you had my hopes up that this article would involve bare skin and a hot iron.

[OKSooner]

'The American tax code is rigged with "complicated devices for ensuring that the poor -- like eighty percent of the population -- pay off the rich."'

Even a stopped watch is right twice a day, and even Chomsky has a point on this one. Don't be distracted by the fact that he IS the Kool-aid man of the left - He's fallen right into our hands on the issue of tax reform.

He just has a different way of expressing the point that our current tax system PREVENTS the middle class from improving their lot in life, and that the wealthy benefit from it.

Noam Chomsky: Hypocrite

[OKSooner]

Sorry 'bout the double post. The server seems a bit slow today...

[rlmorel]

Well, this is good.

Given that most conservatives think that the original meaning of "intellectual" has been largely hijacked, and that in the current usage, intellectual = liberal.

That, and it no longer means someone who has great faculty with logic and thought, but someone who has no faculty with logic except that logic that exists inside their own head.

So yeah, I would place him at the top of that heap of slag as well.

Chomsky.... a hypocrite? YOU DON'T SAY!!!

What drivel. Sounds like a DNC talking point.

Thanks for improving my morning with that delightful image of the odious Chumpsky!

[Reactionary]

What? You mean the altruistic hero of the Left is merely another dirty, greedy capitalist swine?

Such moral hypocrisy doesn't seem to upset liberals in the least, though. And there's a good reason for that: Liberals are, if anything, self-satisfied moral nitwits.

It's hard to believe he beat out Ted Kaczynski, Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, Cornel West, and his namesake Nim Chimsky.

Chomsky is an anti american! He is a philosopher god for the
lefties in Western Europe. What bothering me is that Chomsky's anti american writings is embraced by new intellectual elite in former communist countries. That is danger!

[Blind Eye Jones]

Chomsky is a hypocrite like Michael Moore and others who provide for stupid people the stupidity they need to get by in life. Of course, he will make a lot of money from other people's stupidity... and stupid people will never suspect this because, well... they're stupid to begin with.

My head is swimming with brand possibilities. Let's start at the grocery aisle with a box of Chomsky Balls and move over to the aisle where the Chomsky prayer rugs are stacked.

What on earth would Noam do with the profits?

[Aquinasfan]

It's hard to overestimate the power of pretentiousness.

with the help of a tax attorney specializing in "income-tax planning" set up an irrevocable trust

What a maroon.

[OKSooner]

It's drivel because it's in this thread. If it came from someone else, you wouldn't dismiss it so readily.
