[johnnycmajor]

Go Ron Go

[michaelwuzthere]

ES LEBE DEMOKRATISCHE SOZIALISMUS! :)

[djamorpheus]

Chomsky is the hero of the world and of humanity

[trufbetold]

wow, chomsky was right about everything.

[rivermill100]

THIS GUY IS A BORE. I CAN BARELY GET THROUGH 30 SECONDS OF LISTINING TO HIM TALK

[johnmacward]

@rivermill100 Understanding the issues in the world isn't a comedy show, it requires thinking and listening, analysis and dissection. It's true to begin with he can bore you, but when you start to understand it becomes much easier to listen to and absorb.

[omaron25]

Mr. Chomsky is the only one who actually talk sense!!

[themountainviewguy]

Brand Obama ... the skinny black slightly more mellow and with better grammar - George W. Bush. This is an area where I agree with Chomsky on most things.

His appointments have put the same screwup in higher office that messed up the economy. Then he pushed all kinds of money into the hands of the same bastards.

The problem is that all of this stuff is hidden to the people, so democracy cannot work in America. We need facts on these people he is laughing about. Here is falls down.

[ghahandi]

Chomsky is right on about the Obama picks. We get more of the same old shit. The system is broken. There is no fix.

[johnmacward]

@ghahandi With an attitude like that, there certainly isn't. Organise where you are, on these issues. YOu'd be surprised how many are already of the same views.

[slanker786]

fuck the usgay!

[claitontesch]

5*****

[clapdrix72]

hes getting so old. Man who's gonna take his place when he's gone? (hopefully not for a while)

[mellowtribe]

william ayers could take his place.

[HippyKiller81]

Thanks for bringing us cool stuff like this. We really need people like Chomsky who can offer an alternative analysis of politics and society. The great thing about the internet is that we can find a lot out...if we look past the surprised owls and dancing bananas.

[mrcarlos15]

America is the new British Empire. In the "Revolutionary" days, the British had colonies. America has military bases all over the world, roughly 750,000 U.S. soldiers are abroad.

[mellowtribe]

How do you think you got that cheap oil in your car? or the thousands of products that were made with slave labor? if we did not protect these business interests with our troops. We all bennefit from these including chomsky. Chomsky benefits from slave labor just like you and I.....he is a blow hard.

[antinorest]

TRUE: the only difference between Obama and Bush is that the former is much more Hypocrite than the second and i´ll offer an example: while in campaign Obama said that he would diminish the money USA gives to support their military help to Colombia; but as a matter of fact Obama is dealing a pact to move USA troops to colombian military bases to enhance what USA and Colombian governments call: war on drugs and terror.

[mellowtribe]

He sure fooled your dumbass did he not? Yes !!!!priceless!! The billionaires run this country your vote means nothing and what chomsky says means nothing. the $ is everything.

[7jerryv7]

Thank you for posting - very good analysis of the Obama administration that the mainstream media would not touch with a ten foot poll. I thought the Obama Administration might move the country to the left - this talk makes me think this is unlikely.

[nightime1000]

Who the fuck is this redneck.

[FreelancePatriot76]

Fuck tard. this "red neck" is an linguistics MIT Proff who contributed to the compiler design and computer programming languages.

Just becuase he challenges your latest American Idol, doesn't make him a "red neck" or a racist.

Fucktard.

[Caty25cat]

Thank you for this video!

We need to wake up until is not too late!! American Imperialism has to STOP!

[nico3212]

Unfortunately, the world won't see that much CHANGE internationally with the Obama govt! Maybe domestically! But unfortunately, not internationally! Why? Its simple! Theres still too much gold & silver in Africa to rob & loot, oil & gas in Central Asia & the Caspian Sea to rob & loot & oil off the Venezuela coast to rob & loot! Dont be silly! We dont believe in SHARING the loot! Only robbing for ourselves & to hell with everyone else, EVEN IF THEY MAYBE NICE PEOPLE!

[waypasthadenough]

The Marxist mutt is a NWO hack and a commie. Yes that's possible.

We will probably be faced with having to conduct "Liberal" season this year.

Don't understand? Follow my links. Read the quotes page first. Then share and prepare.

[Igor707]

Change in USA? People vote for the CHANGE and what they get? The same shit, even worse! Democracy in USA? Yes sure, just like Hitler supported democracy in Germany... USA is a Nazi fascistic empire that is collapsing. Ultimately, evil cannot survive.

[kcufmalsi]

Drop dead you white, liberal, communist piece of shit!!!!!

[MA453]

He is an anarcho-syndicalist, anarchy is the COMPLETE opposite of communism

[STEVERED24]

I'm italian. I don't understand when USA people talkin'. But I understand the meaning when it's written. And i read many books (in italian) from Noam. I completely agree with you. I think that Lenin thinking (and actig) was a big tragedy for socialism& democracy

[NoGuff]

CommunismNow!

[stopisraelnow]

BROTHER, Thank's for this upload...

Norman

[promonument]

no problem

[dermoni08]

thanks 4 da the upload

[jakjonsun]

I don't know who this guy thinks he is, but he's obviously racist against Obama.

[zetetic0void]

Have you never heard of Noam Chomsky? He's been around for a long time and is one of the most well known intellectuals on the planet.

I heard no indication whatsoever inferring a racist approach in this tak. I don't know what you are referring to. Perhaps you can quote the section you feel indicates a racist stance?

Or perhaps you are making a grand accusation because you don't like what he's saying so you just labelled him racist?

[asham9]

This is what's wrong with the obots. They know NOTHING! Can you imagine ANYBODY calling Chomsky racist?  What a bunch of morons!

[kcufmalsi]

You morons called Josef Stalin an intellectual too. "Big deal, he only murdered 30 million+..." There is a special place in Gitmo and Hell for Noam Chomsky.

[zetetic0void]

I don't recall ever saying Stalin was an intellectual... so what are you talking about?

I'm fully aware that Stalin killed millions... I don't know why you are replying to my post about Stalin. Please try to clarify your point.

Saying there is a special place in "Hell" for Chomsky is plainly rediculous. Please back that up with supposed dreadful things he's done?

If you want to make wild and baseless accusations and points, then nobody can stop you.

[zekal10]

Noam? Pfft, he's practically like a brother to me.

[Fronte999]

I already wish I'd voted for Nader again, as sad as Nader he's as close to an anti-Big Business vote as anyone.

[ProsecuteCheneyEtAl]

There's a good interview with Chomsky over on therealnews from before the election. "In swing states people should vote against McCain and for Obama - but without illusions." He says ordinary people tend to do better under Democrats; and keeping McCain out was important.

Not very idealistic, but idealism about presidential elections is like idealism about hedge funds. The choice between Dems and Republicans is the choice between murdering Iraqis with sanctions or mudering them by invading.

[battim]

chomsky is such a sore broken soul who lack of reality makes him seem sad now...

[SuperJesus316]

Keep ignoring Obama's actions.

[battim]

i ignore nothing. simply put, chomsky lives in this utopian dream world that humas will ever get past aggressive posturing based on national self interest. his narrow minded vision of the human psyche is his intellectual downfall.

[psychoinhell]

The fact that Chomsky is an irrational dreamer and overly optimistic of human nature does not take away from the fact that Obama is a piece of shit!

[battim]

agreed.

[FatPlus1]

I miss my father, he reminds me of Noam!

[EthanRocks]

Whether one agrees with Choamsky or not, he has a coherent and consistent set of values which he applies to world events. He is right on the money about how "pragmatic" choices now may be disastrous not only in the "first 100 days" as Obama must take FDR size steps but also when the entrenched multi nationals sense where to apply pressure to stall progressive programs to fundamentally change the power structure of American politics to regain CITIZEN POWER OVER OUR GOVERNMENT. Don Quixote? NO!

[pkunzipstardotstar]

Noam has taught me so much over the last 7 years.  Best teacher ever.

[nicelongnap]

Really? Joe Biden is "one of the strongest supporters of the war in Iraq?" That is factually WRONG. Biden, unlike many Republicans, later regretted authorizing Bush declare war, since Bush clearly did so, not as a last resort, but by choice. Chomsky sometimes makes good points, but he is also sometimes full of it and full of himself. Chomsky would compare Jesus to Hitler if Jesus were the President of the United States. Also, he is boring as sand and a terrible writer.

[hellfishazeroth]

there's no do-overs in war. And seeing as Biden essentially wrote the Patriot Act, I doubt those regrets are sincere anyways.

[battim]

let us not forget john kerry's legal authorship of the patriot act.

[pkunzipstardotstar]

fool.

[sunamori6765]

From what "nicelongnap" wrote here, it seems he has been sleeping for a long time now.

[battim]

he regretted it because it was politically unpopular, be more skeptical of these folks...

[Eggy0]

He is a politician. Look at what he does, not what he says.

[bmxxxxxxxx]

Noam Chomsky holds more wisdom and knowledge than any of us will ever encounter.

[zetetic0void]

Even if this is so, we should all continue to think and never take what he says for granted or assume it's all correct... I'm sure Noam would agree!

When I say this, it is not to do with this video but just a general oservation. I'll probably get negative marks but ask yourself if Chomsky would want you to follow blindly everything he says (not that I'm suggesting you are implying blindly following or that you are blindly following... it's merely an idea I had at this moment).

[munteen]

NORM...... STOP HATING.

[martin31406]

It's Noam jackass!

[bhaktavasya]

Did he say 'Brend Obama? Joe Biden did say that he later regretted his support of the Iraq War. As for Obama's choices for key positions in the next administration, maybe, just maybe, Barack Obama has a transforming effect on former hawks and 'Washington insiders'. Maybe more people than ever before want to help change the world and maybe Noam Chomsky needs to eat his bowl of prunes.

[Trudde1337]

I believe he said "brand Obama".

[carolynnmi]

We can't afford to ignore facts such as those Chomsky persists in pointing out.
