Hunh

“Chomsky thinks that finding a common ground with Russians is essential even if you believe they hacked the 2016 elections. “

Still an old Skool Commie.

That’s what the democrats are focusing on, and meanwhile all these other things are going on and they’re not saying anything about them.”

Shhh. Don't tell Chuckie and Nan. Let them follow the misdirection.

He probably thinks he’s still carrying water for the Soviets.

“Has there really been an organization in history that has dedicated itself to the destruction of human life?”

Yep, he really said that.

Are Schumer and Pelosi still running the show? I thought Maxine Waters had taken over.

“In a recent interview with RT, Chomsky doubled down on his criticism of the Republican Party, which he previously called an organization “dedicated to the destruction of organized human life on Earth.”

I have met the man, back in the 1970s. He’s a Marxist nut who thinks he’s the next best thing since sliced bread, when it comes to “social” issues.

His expertise is and was really linguistics. His theories on that topic have proven wrong. Yet he remains at MIT for some strange reason. Maybe because MIT is in Boston and Boston is so Liberal and since the media is so Leftist, Chomsky is a Leftist and he likes be get attention as if he was some grand philosopher, so the media loves to lift him up. He merely applies Marxist dialectics to philosophy. In sum, he’s an over-rated Leftist big mouth the media likes to give attention to.

As long as they’re listening to him, they’re not listening to someone who can actually help them dig themselves out of the hole they’re in.

I have never forgiven Chomsky for his lying and dissembling in pursuit of the excuse over the Cambodian democide. I always thought that he should have suffered the same fate as those he consigned to the memory hole of history. Say, chopped to pieces with hoes, shovels and pickaxes.

He criticizes Trump for not having core beliefs. As if the democrats had any. What a clown.

“What Russia scandal?”

It’s the one where Democrats paid Russians for fake dirt on Trump to justify government surveillance of his campaign in an attempt to effect the election. The scandal is that Trump is being investigated but the known perpetrators are not.

What an idiot Chomsky is about everything. On this one tiny point he is accidentally right.

Chomsky was tenured. The CPUSA loved him so he was always a GO TO GUY for the NYT et. al.

Like all commie so-called philosophers in Chomsky’s
utopian society he would be among the pampered elite
sharing the limited goods with those other phonies
who have worked their way into the goods distribution
leadership group. Nobody who promotes communism ever
sees themselves as just a worker bee.
