    Noam Chomsky Says GOP is the ‘Most Dangerous Organization in World History’

    http://www.politicususa.com/2016/11/15/noam-chomsky-gop-most-dangerous-organization-world-history.html I can't see how he's entirely wrong. Not even ISIS has the power to make the entire globe less inhabitable.

    Thank God for Donald Trump!

    Yeah...I know it sounds crazy, but Trump is not the worst of all worlds. Trump is a phoney. Trump is basically dishonest. Even his followers know it. As a result, the American people are safe from a real demagogue. (for a little while longer, at least) As Noam Chomsky once said: "The...

    Noam Chomsky: His relevance and sanity

    I wonder where Noam Chomsky is on everyone's radar. Recently he said that the United States and Britain are the greatest evils in the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vbkqk5WLbLs&feature=youtu.be&t=8m10s Chomsky is a believer in the noble savage. He believes that human nature is good...

    Split Thread Noam Chomsky

    So that's what you do huh? You wait until you find an argument with a wide enough latitude that you can inject your crazy arguments into them and make a run for the hills? As if me "admitting" that the US doesn't have a perfect and unblemished record of political genius and sacrifice says a...

    Sam Harris vs. Noam Chomsky

    Sam Harris has now posted an email exchange between himself and Noam Chomsky. It's quite amusing in a way. Harris seems to have been emboldened to email Chomsky following Krauss's discussion with Chomsky earlier this year and to say that he would like a public discussion of their differences...

    Chomsky and Krauss in Conversation

    I wasn't quite sure where to put this video because a number of topics come up, so I put it here in one of the more popular subforums where it is likely to be seen by a lot of people. I think these topics are of general interest to a lot of people here. Lawrence Krauss introduces Chomsky and...

    The Core Of Language And Recursion

    Chomsky has long advocated that language is innate with a core universal structure. At the root of this structure is the concept of recursion: that sentences can be made longer and longer with the addition of concepts joined with specialized words sort of like what I am doing with this sentence...

    Noam Chomsky: Sports is a capitalist conspiracy

    I'm not very interested in sports myself, but come on! This is ridiculous! So sports is a great capitalist conspiracy to keep people distracted from politics and make them jingoistic. One wonders what kind of entertainment there will be in Chomsky's ideal society. Will we all sit and discuss...

    Who is Behind 9/11 and Why? (Chomsky)

    As most of you will know, Chomsky does not subscribe to any kind of 'truther' thinking and, rightly, considers it a distraction from serious issues. But I want to share these videos here as I assume those of you who frequent this forum maintain an interest in 9/11. To cover my back, I will say...

    Are Noam Chomsky's descriptions of the US accurate?

    I've watched quite a few Noam Chomsky videos on Youtube and his descriptions of how the US works (he almost never talks about anything not related to the US), including its foreign policy and its electoral system, how big business interests influence it all. One curious thing is that in his...

    The problem with Chomsky understading without proper context.

    I'm a recent addition to this forum, and as I parse through the threads I notice more than one person posts a soundbite from one interview or another and starts heckling him and calling him wrong and bigoted without even bothering doing proper research to see if what he says has merit, or maybe...

    Noam Chomsky sits in paradise, spits on the floor.

    tOo8_rm9m5Y To quote myself...he's sitting in an air-conditioned room, wearing machine-stitched clothes, surrounded by books, near indoor plumbing, eating complementary food, filling his plump over-nutritioned belly, looking through scientifically-designed glasses, talking with freedom of...

    Christopher Hitchens on Chomsky and Bin Laden

    I just came across this article in slate.com http://www.slate.com/id/2293541/ Very interesting Chomsky's repeating of trutherlies, distortions and lack of research.

    Moonbat alert: Chomksy condemns Bin Laden kill.

    I find it hard to believe that anyone who isn't a radical Islamist would give an asswipe about Bin Laden's demise. Who honestly wishes he was still alive? I tell a lie. I don't find it hard to believe. Like a fundamentalist preacher claiming a hurricane is punishment for sin, the radical left...

    Chomsky refused entry to the West Bank by Israel

    Noam Chomsky has been refused entry to the West Bank by Israeli officials: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/8685930.stm Prof. Chomsky was attempting to enter via Jordan, to deliver a lecture at Birzeit University. Denying him access seems rather silly, and is likely to prove...

    What does the skeptic community think of Noam Chomsky?

    I've read a few of his books and articles and I know he's quite persuasive, but I'm not so sure that he has sufficient evidence to prove his political points. Many of the points he asserts in his books sometimes sound "conspiracy theory-ish", but not exactly. And that's not to say it means it's...

    Noam Chomsky: stop killing muslims and they will stop killing you

    Another video of Noam Chomsky from representativepress http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW0eiPiuUuk But one problem. Radical Islam was around before the United States was, as was shown in the Barbary Corsairs and the Crusades. Radical Islam bases itself on world domination of an ideology, just...

    A question for debunkers, inspired by Chomsky:

    Noam Chomsky, when describing subtle methods of control in academia, journalism, etc. in the book Understanding Power ( p. 242), wrote: (emphasis mine) For those of you who agree that "powerful institutions don't want to be investigated, obviously", then how do you think that whatever parts...

    Chomsky: US public irrelevant

    Noam Chomsky is not a truther

    Noam Chomsky states that he does not believe in the 9/11 hypothesis in this clip. I tried the search feature to see if this was posted before, but i didn't find anything, so i hope this is not a repeat. Say what you will about the mans politics, he does seem to like the scientific process, and...
