No problem, Hamas will greet him with open arms.

[tet68]

DENIED ENTRY! Can mr. linguistic figure THAT out?

[Brilliant]

Chomsky should be forced to live in “utopia” for a while. Send him to North Korea, Pakistan, Iran, or Venezuela.

tried to cross from Jordan

mm-hmm

[kingu]

So, umm, professor, you’re heading on over to Israel to do a lecture and decide that Jordan’s a much more lovely country to begin your visit at, and then you just happen to arrive at a bridge with a whole bunch of people and look all shocked and outraged when your passport gets stamped ‘denied entry’?

Or is it exactly as it appears, just another sham event by a liberal who knew that if he tried to fly into Israel, he’d just be denied entry, but there’s no way for fellow activists and cameras to be on hand to document this SHOCKING event...

[OldNavyVet]

Living in a state of constant danger, Israel deserves praise for how they handle their borders.

[joelt]

How bout Gaza?

[Sir Clancelot]

Expect the US State Dept to raise an uproar about Free Speech, blah, blah, blah. This will be an opportunity for the US State Dept to impose sanctions on Israel.

Also, don’t expect the US State Dept to se much as acknowledge that Coulter wasn’t allowed to speak in Canada or that Savage was unwelcome in the UK.

[Walkingfeather]

Dim Chimpsky is an idiot!

[hennie pennie]

Ditto, ditto, ditto!

LOL!!

[Howie66]

Perhaps Chomsky would receive a warmer welcome visiting Mecca? I would recommend, strngly, that he go there.

[Spok]

Now if we could just keep him out of the U.S.!

[vaudine]

He should be denied entry when he comes back to the US. The US that he has tried to reform thru his radical leftist views. No telling how many mushy brains he has cleansed of rational thought and then filled with Communist/Socialist garbage.

This country should take out the garbage, and that would preclude Mr Chomsky re-entrance.

Wonder if mike savage can go into England yet? They have denied him entrance, so they do know HOW to protect their borders.

[bmwcyle]

It is clear to me.

[chris_bdba]

What a great idea! Hopefully the USA could do the same thing? I know only in my dreams....

[SnakeDoctor]

Probably for his own protection. He cavorts with the enemy, and it’d be a real shame if he was in the wrong place at the wrong time (ala Rachel Corrie) and some sniper took him out.
