Not only is Noam Chomsky a despicable person, he is perhaps the most overrated intellectual of the late 20th and early 21st Century. If you are able to separate out the obnoxiousness of the guy and just focus on his major thesis, he is exposed for the buffoon he really is. But at the same time Chomsky is important because many intellectuals pay attention to what he says. In a way he's like another buffoon, Thomas Friedman of the NY Times. Now no way is Friedman as despicable as Chomsky but like him he's wrong 90% of the time. And people pay attention to these guys (and others).

Don’t feel too bad, Israel. Chomsky hates the US as much as Israel.

If only we had the integrity and strength of will to deny him re-entry into the U.S.

Noam Chomsky is a Nazi apologist (Roberto Faurisson).

We should really learn a lesson from Israel about being selective.

“Why would that hater want to go to Israel anyway?”

Maybe he wanted to jump in front of a bull dozer?
