Noam Chomsky

[Zimnyification]

"I'm talking to YOU, not CBS."

lol sadfac

[GothemcityX]

Evan got a little smarter after Chomsky blatantly owned him in their last interview.

Well not smarter, but more precise w/ his questions.

[vicnameless]

Everytime I listen to Chomsky, I can feel my brain reshaping...He deserves the Nobel Peace Prize and The Medal of Freedom...A Hundred years from now he'll be taught in schools.

[blaynestaley]

Truth is insignificant.... it's not even a value. End corporate oligarchy. Real democracy, NOW!

[MinimalistProgram]

He goes a bit overboard with the photo anecdote.

[fusionguitar]

Noam is the shit. Check out one of his latest books, "Failed States".

[mose3]

He will not be bullied.

He will not be intimidated.

He is a fearless, formidable, totally independent voice.

He does something quite simple, but highly unusual.

He tells the truth. Noam Chomsky.

[Bashman]

He's right about everything.

[starrider7777]

Absolutely.

[twentyfourFPS]

Spin Noam spin. What have you ever done to make this world a better place except stay in your ivory tower and pontificate your fictions? If it wasn't for the GIs in WWII and the American Government winning you would be dead today. OK Noam, ya like that logic?

[amarbleinspace]

twentyfourFPS. if you listen to what Chomsky say's he never praises the bad guys he mainly highlights the plight of the oppressed through his research. you dont seem to care about the wickedness of america

[twentyfourFPS]

Here is my reply to your 'wickedness of america'. By the way I am an American and I don't find America wicked.

My reply to you: watch?v=Y-ImqHgXCOg

[MyhardPwner]

By the way twentyfour is an American, and he's an idiot.

[starrider7777]

The thing about the GI's in WW2 does not mean what he says is untrue.

[zornlove]

GI's in WW2 didn't win anything. American government always acts on their sponsor's will.

In case you weren't aware the Soviet's won world war 2.

[SvendBosanvovski]

@zornlove So true. An estimated 11 million Russian soldiers died fighting fascism. Their contribution was recognised by wartime leaders, including Churchill when he observed that it was the Russians who "tore the guts out of the Nazi war machine". The parade of propaganda films extolling US heroism in that, and the wars of imperialist aggression following, distorts reality. Fortunately we have Noam to shine a light through the layers of mystification. He is a great American.

"The truth is insignificant; it's not even a value."-Noam Chomsky

[beverly555]

Mr. Chomsky should be a Nobel Laurent. I would give anything to meet him.

[mose3]

"Noam Chomsky . . . is a major scholarly resource. Not to have read [him] is to court genuine ignorance."

--The Nation

"Chomsky ranks with Marx, Shakespeare, and the Bible as one of the ten most quoted sources in the humanities."

--The Guardian

"One of the West's most influential intellectuals in the cause of peace."

The Independent

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Author: Voltaire 1694-1778,

French Historian, Writer.

If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.

Author: Noam Chomsky 1928-, American Linguist.

[FrankChurch]

He did not

[bluenote71]

If Chomsky supported Kerry, the he was probably just being pragmatic: Kerry winning the '04 election would have been a slightly better way for more rational policies to come about, and that isn't the same as saying he was the lesser of two evils.

[skoupitsa]

Chomsky rules. Those complicit in their own demise would do well to learn from him.

[imawildman]

GO NOAM GO! Bless his socks :)

[XenagogueVicene]

Chomsky rambles on saying everything, and saying nothing, he describes US Imperialism in detail, and then urges people to vote Democrat. Chomsky told people to Vote Kerry in '04.

[shrado]

chomsky is a rational thinker...few left in the west

[KhalidAmina]

Chomsky is a Genius to imbeciles, ignorant and slamic puppets- for what he helps to further the I- Slamic suicidal agenda against all infidels. A professional liar, still in Harvard- thanks to slamic corruption and to Mentally paralyzed American minds-Liberals. If he is not happy in America, why he never left?

No, he keeps his eternal teen manner, knowing that here nothing can happen to his spoiled mouth. What a Hero.- Bestiality.

[banovici]

I wanted to reply to KhalidAmina comments but I saw he was from West Bank, I quit, but I agree with exodus 717 Chomsky for president

[templars83]

You stupid ass.

[mrazrad]

Chomsky doesn't work at Harvard, numbnuts. He works at MIT.

[salim201]

14 year old with an arabic-english thesaurus?

[aaron343432]

Obey Noam Chomsky

[XenagogueVicene]

Chomsky backed Kerry in '04. All of his "anti-Imperialism comes down to "vote Democrat"  the lesser evil.

[blaynestaley]

another account created to spread bullshit.

[exodus717]

I'm sure it's Canadian broadcast just by the way the interviewer said 'against'. Chomsky for President!

[lamencha]

This guy is great!. I love Noam Chomsky.

[savit]

thank you Noam

[Doggnutt]

It's nice to see more and more people starting to question the things that governments do now. Especially the US goverment. I admire Chomsky for how he calmly communicates the facts that most media divert upon.

[bbmusicklip]

Thank you for posting this. He's always interesting to hear from and hear about.

[Mizral123]

Yes, this is CBC (Government funded TV channel) Sunday, which is a show that runs basically most of Sunday morning. One of the best programmes on the network.

[ringadong]

I wish I didn't have to go to bed and work tomorrow - I could quite happily listen to Chomsky refuting every one of the interviewer's baseless allegations into the small hours. Chomsky's greatest strength is how he uses his arsenal of factual evidence to decimate his opponents black-and-white emotionally-charged 'defences' of Western tyranny against less-fortunate nations.

[metavoice]

Thanks for posting this. Such posts demonstrate the importance and potential of "Youtube."

[ganymede70]

Thanks for posting this video. Is there a part 2? And what country is this in? Is this Canada? Thanks.

[bimtly]

noam chomsky most awesome person alive

[phantom5691]

standing tall after crushing the nutmeg capital of the world...that is funny

[netrunner1]

I passionatly love how Chomsky uses facts to show that society in general denies reality.

[bbmusicklip]
