Noam Chomsky Compares Right-Wing Media to ‘Nazis’ (video)
C-SPAN ^ | Oct. 16, 2009

Posted on 10/16/2009 12:32:05 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

Mediaite: Add Noam Chomsky to the growing list of people using the Nazi analogy lately.

Speaking to the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, he alluded to right-wing media as “substantive content — crazy content, but it does give answers,” and warned that if Americans weren’t properly educated about what was really happening to them, they could be in for a repeat of the Nazi takeover of Germany in the 1930s.

IT’S NOT HATE-SPEECH WHEN THEY DO IT!!!!!

Only when opponents of Democrats and Socialists do it, is it hate speech.

He's got that part correct.

The supposed intellectual of the left routinely violating Godwin’s Law. Well, I think he should just stick to his MIT work. Penn & Teller have already exposed him as a bullsh!t artist.

There are some real winners in the comments section of that story. And I, too, wonder why Chomsky isn’t dead yet.

Old Noam got this one right, except the threat is from the leftist, Marxist loons in the White House, and all the proven radicals and extremists they've recruited, both the departed and those still on board. Never saw a bunch in US politics with such totalitarian desires.

Actually what he was saying was...

“...warned that if Americans weren’t properly educated about what was really happening to them, they could be in for a repeat of the communist takeover of Russia in 1917.”

Prof. Noam Chomsky is the noted Marxist cheerleader of the genocidal Pol Pot regime in Cambodia, which murdered two million innocent citizens through torture, overwork, and starvation.

Or one of the countless Marxist genocidal mass-murderers whom Professor Noam Chomsky has been supporting for the last 40 years.

Noam Chomsky is an intensely evil creation with sick and murderous intent.

Chomsky is a prime example of a brilliant mind with ALL the wrong biases: he’s a Leftist from Day One as a young man, and his considerable intelligence (aside from his parallel career as a pathbreaking academic linguist) HAS BEEN AT THE SERVICE OF THE WRONG PHILOSOPHY. I have seen this over and over, both among the ranks of RedDiaper babies, and among people who started as nominal Conservatives when young (go no further than Hillary Clinton), and migrated for a whole host of strange reasons, steadily Leftward. This inability to be objective enough, and “honest with yourself” enough to EVOLVE, morally, and intellectually, comes down to narcissism, plain and simple, added to a whole lot of laziness, and self-righteousness, all of which fit into each other whenever and however needed. Some people just can’t resist
that “special feeling” of being on the “right team”, and revel in the conceit of their “exclusiveness” as being in the know, and spearheading what they see as the “inevitable
“ forward march of History. All those baboons of the 1930s who fell for the ‘Romance of American Communism” and would never disentangle themselves from “Uncle Joe” Stalin, even after his death, are prime examples of this, but the ‘children’ of these fools live on to this day.
Even when I was SURE I was right about something, as a lefty teenager, I was ONLY fascinated by people who had an entirely different take on things (especially politics) than I did. Would that there were more like the great ‘supremedoctrine’.

I studied his linguistics including Syntactic Structures in college.

When I first encountered his political and “media analysis” works I could not believe it was the same man.

He is intellectually dishonest, analytically pedestrian, a strident harpie, and basically full of it.

To this very day I still cannot understand why anyone takes his political opinions seriously.

The only difference between Noam Chomsky and the homeless guy on the downtown corner with the tin-foil hat, babbling constantly is - the drugs, and the fact that Chomsky has a chair at a University.

This guy is so FOS! All his Marxist media report on is what Michael Jackson looked like as he died—for months. In the meantime, they don’t have to report on the coup they’re enabling.

Your precious “enlightened” MSM is controlled and dictated by your Marxist propagandist pals in the White House, traitor!

A few years ago Chomsky had a week to do his version of Radio Moscow World Service here in Boston.

This fellow is a true believer. He had his chance to spew his garbage without assault by any that I am aware of.

Surprisingly the station did not give him the microphone again.

Coincidence?

Pol Pot was a piker compared to Joe Stalin and Mao. He needs to have a talk with Anita Dunn.

I truly think it’s time to lift the Nazi-comparison embargo. Time to fight with the gloves off. Time to reexamine German history from 1917 to 1933. And time to throw Godwin’s Law out the window. It no longer applies. History is repeating itself, and it’s time to announce the fact loudly.

I think Hitler’s 7 million is a lot better than the Liberal icons of Stalin and Mao, who murdered over 100 million.

This is the first time I have actually seen or heard this man speak. He exemplifies white liberal ivory towers insanity. I cannot fo rthe life of me understand why people like him actually have a voice in public. He is ignorant to so many things, and yet this despicable human has so much supposed authority. What a pathetic individual. Him and his words will go the way of Voltaire.
