Who is Jim? Obviously not a scholar of any import. It sounds like the same rhetoric you hear from idiots like Dershowitz. It appears that link is just meant to confuse and is so pointless I will not even address it. Chomsky has written more books than I care to list here and all you can come up with is that link? Do you really think that Noam Chomsky supports the death and destruction of human beings? The fact that you cannot restrain yourself from using profanity in your posts here proves you are driven to dislike him purely by emotion and leads me to believe you are one of these rabid tribal jews; and don't call me anti semitic cause I am a Jew. I am not hear to say everything Chomsky writes should be taken as the absolute last word; like all of us he is not infallible and not free from his own biases. I will even go as far to say that Jim may indeed have some things right but I could care less; Noam Chomsky is still a prolific and well researched scholar. There are many people out there who would seek to slander him; thing is most of them are half-wits with no credentials whatsoever. I do not agree with a lot of his views and he has come out against some of Ron Pauls policies, but I still have great respect for him and the type of slander seen on here is uneducated and somewhat baseless.
I thought he was one of the most learned teachers I ever had and for the record he teaches linguistics, not world affairs, or foreign policy. He is also considered to be one of the leading scholars on the subject.
I do not know who crackhead Bob or Wendy the Retard are, or what you are even trying to say with that statement
Let me guess: appeals to authority are linguistically solid arguments?
I can come up with more, but what's the point when you've decided in advance that you won't even read it. With intellectual dishonesty like that, why the fuck should I?
Yes, Chomsky does support the death and destruction of human beings. Ideas are powerful, and if his are widely accepted, that will be the result. Why do you think he ignores millions of corpses in Cambodia? Question: when he taught that in class, and tried to compare with 200,000 dead in East Timor with the several million in Cambodia, how many people laughed at him? Or were the students in that class simply sheep who followed orders?
Stephen Kings writes a lot of books. Ronald Coase wrote two articles and won a Nobel Prize. What the fuck was your point? That Chomsky was verbose?
The ironic thing, since I've been "accused" of being a Jew by several of you sheep in this thread, is that I am not Jewish. In fact, I am significantly German in my heritage. My use of profanity doesn't prove a fucking thing except that I like to use profanity.
I get emotional about scum like Chomsky, in much the same way as the intelligent people (which excludes the Chomsky fans, naturally) get upset about John McCain.
I haven't called anyone anti-Semitic yet you are the second illiterate who can't read that I haven't read that.
Despite your words, you are acting like Chomsky is infallible. You refuse to even read criticism of him. The evidence that Jim cites that you could care less about invalidates your other claims. He isn't prolific. He is a well-researched scholar, but that research is done by others. Chomsky's research is shoddy and comprised of half lies and lies.
