Any hope that Leftists would regain their sanity and be willing to discuss issues in a reasonable manner have quickly evaporated. The latest evidence comes from Noam Chomsky in a recent interview with EcoWatch:
On Nov. 8, the most powerful country in world history, which will set its stamp on what comes next, had an election. The outcome placed total control of the government–executive, Congress, the Supreme Court–in the hands of the Republican Party, which has become the most dangerous organization in world history.
The sad thing is, sheeple the world over will buy this hyperbole without question, further dividing the Left & Right. Stop for a moment to consider what Chomsky is actually saying. He is stating, unequivocally, that the Republican Party of the United States of America is more dangerous than: Hitler’s Nazis. Lenin’s Communists, Mao’s Communists, Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge, ISIS, Al Qaeda, and a host of other truly despicable totalitarian regimes. Yet Chomsky is considered to be a brilliant thinker among disciples of Leftism. So much so that the SJWs who control Wikipedia won’t even allow a criticism section in his profile.
I just checked the Wikipedia page for Noam Chomsky, and it seems editable by experienced Wikipedia editors. If there’s some critical content that needs to be posted, please let me know and I can help out.
Thankfully that old commie bastard is 87, he doesn’t have much time left on this earth.
Chomsky is still alive?

We are reading the same articles. The pushback on the comments there are very telling.
Chomsky is a NUT, but, as we see with the yutes having hissyfits, they have been badly misled by dangerous political leaders (OBungles, Hitlery, etc) that are lying to them on purpose, to raise protests to a very dangerous level.
Its the yutes and illegals that are emulating Hitler and the despots
Chomsky: America’s David Suzuki.
I might add, its despots like him, and the aforementioned community activist, that have led the yutes to think that the world is going to die on 30 years unless fossil fuels are banned.
These people are truly dangerous. It explains as well, the total meltdown of the looney left. They honestly think they are going to die of glowbull warming.
Hitchens on Chomsky, 2001.
I have begun to think that Noam Chomsky has lost or is losing the qualities that made him a great moral and political tutor in the years of the Indochina war, and that enabled him to write such monumental essays as his critique of the Kahan Commission on Sabra and Shatila or his analysis of the situation in East Timor. I don’t say this out of any “more in sorrow than anger” affectation: I have written several defenses of him and he knows it. But the last time we corresponded, some months ago, I was appalled by the robotic element both of his prose and of his opinions. He sought earnestly to convince me that Vaclav Havel, by addressing a joint session of Congress in the fall of 1989, was complicit in the murder of the Jesuits in El Salvador that had occurred not very long before he landed in Washington. In vain did I point out that the timing of Havel’s visit was determined by the November collapse of the Stalinist regime in Prague, and that on his first celebratory visit to the United States he need not necessarily take the opportunity to accuse his hosts of being war criminals. Nothing would do, for Chomsky, but a strict moral equivalence between Havel’s conduct and the mentality of the most depraved Stalinist. (He’s written this elsewhere, so I break no confidence.) I then took the chance of asking him whether he still considered Ed Herman a political co-thinker. Herman had moved from opposing the bombing of Serbia to representing the Milosevic regime as a victim and as a nationalist peoples’ democracy. He has recently said, in a ludicrous attack on me, that the “methods and policies” of the Western forces in Kosovo were “very similar” to the tactics of Al Qaeda, an assertion that will not surprise those who are familiar with his style. Chomsky knew perfectly well what I was asking, and why, but chose to respond by saying that he did not regard anybody in particular as a co-thinker. I thought then that this was a shady answer; I now think that it may also have been an unintentionally prescient one. I don’t believe that any of those who have so anxiously sought his opinions in the past three weeks have felt either inspired or educated by them, because these opinions are a recipe for nothingness. And only an old admiration should prevent me from adding, nothingness at the very best.
Hillary’s pointed headed government was “by and for; foreign sponsors, Bill Inc. and the Hill Pantsuit Foundation”. Sorry Chom, not buying your drivel.
Sadly, Chomsky has been elevated to Sainthood by the looney left. His HATE for Western civilization and message of personal anarchy will live on forever in the hearts of leftists everywhere. Chomsky has been elevated to God-like status by the leftist intelligentsia. Hollywood ADORES Chomsky’s HATE for organized religion and LOVES his “let it all hang out” philosophy. Chomsky is a dangerous nutjob … which is probably why he is one of the most venerated college professors in the history of organized education.
(He’s a bit senile.)
And, following in Chomsky’s footsteps, we have today’s new looney left mouthpiece to ‘take a stand”.
Barbara Boxer (another lame duck) has introduced a bill to revoke the Electoral College.
Another shining example that the left sees the Constitution as an out of date, outmoded, and unnecessary set of laws.
Ninty-nine out of one hundred of the people who voted for Trump, and who will applaud whatever Trump does as he does it, have no idea who Chomsky is, and wouldn’t make it through two paragraphs of anything he’s ever written.
I wonder what his opinion of Ghengis Khan and his horde is.
Brain addled Noam Chomsky is frothing at the mouth; he marshals exactly ZERO EVIDENCE for his ridiculous assertions.
The author of the article correctly asserts that NAZI Joseph Goebbels would indeed be impressed by the propaganda that is believed but for a different reason; that such a large subset of so called scientists would actually believe that CO2 is ‘gassing the planet’.
When dinosaurs were roaming the earth, the geological record has shown 5 times the current CO2 concentration could easily support massive lifeforms.
http://www.livescience.com/44330-jurassic-dinosaur-carbon-dioxide.html
Parenthetically, one could make the argument that Noam Chomsky is a political ‘dinosaur’ from a former age.
There was exactly no industrialization in the Jurrasic era yet it supported massive life forms.
CO2 is not a poisonous gas, is exhaled by humans, and is part of enhanced greening of the plant/tree life cycle due to beneficial growth patterns. In short, increased CO2 concentrations support the further ‘greening of the planet’; which ironically is in support of ‘eco-freak’ constituency.
And if in the future levels of CO2 are 5 times higher than today and the dinosaurs come back, we’ll all have to run a little faster to ensure our survival.
The discredited and outdated political stampeding by Chomsky and his ilk serves no particular purpose other than to suggest global cataclysm because the Republicans are at the helm rather than his anointed Democrats.
We have nothing to fear but fear itself and its propagandists.
The folks who politicized science have a long history…known as Lysenkoism; it would be better if we didn’t engage in such long ossified thought patterns as Chomsky emblematically emulates.

Ah, leftards! You can’t live with them, and you’re not allowed to hunt them for sport (A pity,really).
“During the Second World War, the forms of authority — we had a totalitarian society basically — and I thought that there was some justification for that.”
Noam Chomsky
Noam Chomsky has become the stupidest intellectual in world history.
“which has become the most dangerous organization in world history”
Dangerous to whom or what? Noami’s ne’er-do-wells and their vision of a socialist Utopia is my guess.
Patrick Stewart: “Donald Trump is probably one of the worst things to happen to our World in the last 100 years.”
At least Noam isn’t alone in his insanity.

Okay,Donald,old buddy,let’s cut to the chase,and reveal our plans for “the camps”.
All work will be done by Union labor,so they won’t be ready for…………..well,a helluva long time, but some people need re-education.
Communists usually spend their lives living in a cloud of paranoia,and at 87,Chomsky’s worst fears have been realized, a leader who doesn’t suckhole to progressives has just been elected.
His statement on Trump is pure and simple,insane. The old bastard has finally gone all the way over the edge.
Wtf is wrong with the Left that they can’t accept anything that doesn’t fit their perfect little narrative?
Everything a marxist says is projection; if he says the GOP is dangerous, he knows it’s the Dems that are. Otherwise just ignore whatever people like Chomsky say; they have never had an original thought, and can be safely and summarily dismissed.
Things that are actually useful are also usually dangerous but mostly when improperly used. Norm is confusing the next executive with the defeated one.
Chomsky = There’s no fool like an old fool.
Chompsky, the theoretician, and Soreass, the practitioner, are both well into their dotage. Close behind them is Zuzuki, the totalitarian. All three could graze their last kale sandwich any day now. We don’t even need to pray for an asteroid.
Unfortunately, their idiocy is re-born in each generation.
Dan, thanks for the tip. I just read them. Indeed, some people do realize what a complete fraud Chomsky is. However, there are too many weak minded individuals out there who will soak in every word. 🙁
Peter, I realize it may be too late for you to come to your senses and recognize that Chomsky is a crazed old communist, but just in case someone here isn’t familiar with the old lunatic read this:
http://www.paulbogdanor.com/chomsky/cataclysm.html
“The pseudo-scholarly apparatus of quotations and footnotes cannot disguise the true intent of this notorious work of denial literature, which seeks to rehabilitate the radical position on the Vietnam War by systematically whitewashing totalitarian slaughter in Indochina.
On Cambodia, Chomsky and Herman produce some extraordinary apologetics for the Khmer Rouge, offering a figure of only 25,000 killed and claiming that the bloodbath has been exaggerated by a “factor of 100” (p. 139). They rely on accounts of stage-managed official visits undertaken by credulous Western fellow-travellers, while dismissing the evidence of the victims, on the basis that refugee reports are compromised by “extreme bias” in their selection by the media (pp. 147-8.” Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman, After the Cataclysm: The Political Economy of Human Rights, Volume II, (South End Press, 1979).
From 1975 to 1979, Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge soldiers killed 1.7 million Cambodians, or 21 percent of the population, according to Yale University’s Cambodia Genocide Program!
https://www.quora.com/Why-did-Noam-Chomsky-deny-the-Khmer-Rouge-atrocities
“Chomsky has since said that the criticisms he wrote at the time were reasonable on the information then available to him at the time. That, to my mind is utterly mendacious and calls to mind George Orwell’s comment: ‘There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them.”
Why did Chomsky write as he did? Because it was what he wanted to believe. The truth did not matter to him.”
Would that Trump do half of the things he’s accused of allegedly wanting for his administration…
another stupid communist Joo
Such reasoned intellectual discourse from the left, As Mark Steyn pointed out recently, once you call someone Hitler, there is nothing left to insult them with. Not to be left out Dr Fruit Fly has gained access to the National Post page today (I can’t be bothered providing a link). He does Chomsky one better and compares Trump to Stephen Harper!
Modifying the adage there is no fool like an old fool, Chomsky and Fruit Fly demonstrate there is no fool like an old leftist.
That’s a valid comparison.
To The Left,in Canada at least,there is no one worse than Steven Harper,and Hitler is only a guy from those B&W newsreels you can find on youtube if you look for awhile.
The Left can only hope and pray Trump doesn’t turn out to be as bad a Harper,who is without a doubt the worst PM Canada ever had,and probably the worst leader in the entire universe!
Brain damage is a sad thing.
We thought the Left would go a bit silly if HillBill lost but this is beyond our wildest expectations, they’ve gone completely out of their trees, some may have to be put in straight jackets.
Noam Chomsky:”I have been an idiot for a long time but that’s not stopping me from opening my mouth”
Noam Chomsky Has Become the Most Dangerous Pseudo-Intellectual in World History
there, fixed it for ya..
He’s a moderate Jew, or radical, I forget…
Misinformed linguistic adventurers driven to dominate the world by the evil capitalists.
yes
Petey, you said: “Ninty-nine out of one hundred of the people who voted for Trump, and who will applaud whatever Trump does as he does it, have no idea who Chomsky is, and wouldn’t make it through two paragraphs of anything he’s ever written.”
Probably true …. much or most of what he has written is for other intellectuals, not ordinary people. Consequently, you can, without a doubt, say the same thing about H. Clinton supporters….. no?
What about it though? Does one need to understand Shopenhauer, Hegel, Nietzsche to vote their best interests?
This post represents a significant uptick in the quality of your posts. (Not that the others were poor.)
Keep it up!
Chomsky HATES black people!
Thank you!
I was about to mention this.
That made me laugh out loud (LOL) for all those over 50 or those who follow the Simpsons. Excellent!
“Gnome Chomsky” – a much wiser Chomsky
Meh, soon to be dead irrelevant leftard.
Not much of a real “sport” i.e. challenging, more like shooting gophers, i.e. vermin eradication.
chomsky and suzuki, modern coprolite.
David, I’ve read some Chomsky. Mostly his linguistics, at which he was superb, but also some philosophy (derivative Cartesian mind-body dualism) and his political theory. He is a derivative Cartesian that uses but does not understand Marx so much as Gromsci. (I’m a fan of Marx but not Marxists, who failed to understand Marx.) I don’t detect any trace of Schopenhauer or, especially, Nietzsche in his writing.
Chomsky has good material on use of ideology (he was a linguist, after all) but, comically, is terrible at applying it to see through his own pet political causes and their ideology. I’ve watched a few recent videos and he is, quite frankly, getting senile.
senile would be one way to describe it.
Bob … was that a haiku to Noam. How beautiful. You brought me much inner peace and calm.
