MIT Professor of Linguistics Noam Chomsky, a long-time left-wing writer and activist, told Al-Jazeera that he does not believe President Barack Obama has a “moral center,” and that he is running a “global assassination campaign” using drone warfare.

“There’s some nice rhetoric here and there, but you look at the actual policies, they’re pretty shocking,” Chomsky said, speaking of President Obama. “The drone assassination campaign’s a perfectly good example. It’s just a global assassination campaign.” …

What? Chomsky is little more than a more-articulate Michael Moore, nothing more. There is nothing of value that drops from a quasi-socialists’ mouth.

You can’t get 0bama’s medical records because they would reveal where he was on assignment for the CIA in his early life (e.g. his illegal trip to Pakistan without a visa).

Obama worked for the CIA under Reagan? Really? How long?

"I think the key take away here is that “Obama has no moral compass”"

Same conclusion as Rev Wright and 50 million conservatives.

“Same conclusion as Rev Wright and 50 million conservatives.”

Weird that we can all (mostly) agree on that but it’s a low priority to over 50% of the population.

I would of thought that a moral standing would be important to everyone as a pre-requisite... - mmm

A man can be honest even if he’s mistaken. I respect Chomsky because he acts on principle — even though his principles are often wrong. IMO he has this in common with Ralph Nader — another gadfly of the left.

I wish we had some like them on the right wing, but they were purged and demonized by the neocons a decade or more ago. Hell, I wish we had a right wing at all.

He came out a while back and said walks like a duck kills whomever gets in his way. I’m surprised he’s still around.

The kindest thing I can say about the political pronouncements of Gnome Chomsky is that by all accounts he is a first rate linguist.

I believe he is AFRIKKANER. Looking out for Africa... and their rich resources under .gov parks.

He sure ain’t American. And Noam has no right claiming ‘moral’ anything as his career has been to destroy American morals.
