  • I like how Chimpsky spanks Hymie right away.

  • "In many Chomsky interviews, the interviewer asks him difficult questions, but once he gives the sort of detailed, thoughtful answer the question deserves, it quickly becomes clear that the person asking the question wasn't interested in a proper answer in the first place."

  • "Like who, for example?"

  • "The issue is the settlements, not the settlement freeze."

    Chomsky is the moral conscience of our time and virtually irreplaceable in terms of his combination of empathy and towering capacity for analytical thought.

  • whooooaaaa blah blop fa fa fa

  • Is it true that you do not believe there is a need for a Jewish state in this world?

    "I don't believe there's a need for ANY state in this world." -Noam Chomsky

    This guy is a rockstar from Mars. He's got tiger blood.

  • What crimes has Harvard committed or has been involved in? Somebody...

  • What a great reply at the end of the discussion. Chomsky is really very unique

  • Why is Harper such an ass licker to Netanyahu?

  • It is always a pleasure to listen to such an erudite and brillian person such as Professor Chomsky.

  • It's always a pleasure to hear an erudite man such as Professor Chomsky speak about the Middle East.

  • ALL THIS MIDDLE EAST SHIT PISSES ME OFF, ITS ON THE NEWS EVERY 5 MINUETS THOUGH OUT MY LIFE , I DONT GIVE A SHIT , IT DOESN'T CONCERN ME , IN MY OPINION JUST LET THE MUSSYS AND JEWS FIGHT IT OUT IN ONE ALMIGHTY BATTLE SO I CAN HAVE SOME REAL NEWS , IM SICK OF THESE CUNTS ON THE TV EVERY 5 MINUETS I DONT SEE WHY IT BOTHERS US WHO WE BUY OUR OIL FROM

  • @MR1QUEST

    What...Are you 8?

    Why did you even bother watching it, if your not interested...and please try to tone down the text shouting, its hard to read, and no need to use bad language. Shows your lack of vocabulary

  • Steve Paikin's questions are definitely non-neutral pro-Israel... used some trigger words like "wipe-out" too... there's some bad journalism here.

    Will someone award Mr. Chomsky a Nobel?

  • @StealTeal Yes I agree, Paikin could hone his approach

  • Comment removed

  • Steve Paiken is awesome and has previously acknowledged the erosion of democracy after the Toronto G20, so I could see how he might be biased towards Chomsky's theories. But come on, Chomsky's celebrity intellectual status is hard to ignore. Paiken knows who he's dealing with and wanted to spar, which was awesome because he challenged him and Chomsky obviously rose to the occasion. I think it was a great interview by Paiken that resulted in some classic lines.

  • what kind of question is that one at the end

    what an embarrassment for the so called 'journalist'

  • steve p. is not so smart

  • it was agist of the presenter to ask chomsky if his fire still burned as brightly in his old age. I disliked that. Another thing i disliked was the way he kept putting a caption that said chomski was a linguistics proffessor because i felt that was meant to try to make viewers question his authoirty on this subject matter. Evenstill, Chomski delivered. He is so wise and intelligent... he could lead us all to divesting from Isreal, and acting to try to solve problems of social inequality..

  • I wish Chomsky could live forever. I can't think of anyone who could take his place.

  • @urcritic we gotta learn from him before he dies, hes 70... gotta read his books, lol

  • @urcritic

    He will live forever, as long as people remember his words, ideas, and compassion for humanity.

  • @newdimensionfilms That's true, he will live forever in people's minds, his books and the internet - but sadly, very few people have his uncanny ability to research and analyse the world in such a comprehensive fashion - and it's this part that I think will be irreplaceable.

  • steve paikin is a retard, seriously... he's definitely a tory, hes just like evan solomon on CBC. Dumb!

  • I wonder how Paikin feels about some of his interviews (Noam Chomsky, Chris Hedges and others) being censored in the States?

  • Howard Zinn's also in it as well. Which in a way is sad and good. Sad that he was banned by the MSM like Chomsky. But then, after he passes suddenly he's "ok" to talk about?

  • Does anyone know of the new documentary "I Am"? Usually Chomsky's banned by the MSM. Yet now, he's being promoted in a major release. When Tom Shadyac does interviews, i gurantee Chomsky will get 5 seconds max. Any more and the reporter will get sacked :).

  • Chomksy is on TV in 2011 and making perfectly rational and spot on points on a wide range of subjects. In Canada, it's illegal to lie in the media. Therefore, why is he banned in the States?

  • @wonderfulwhippet123 "DUURR.." lol- He helped genocidal maniacs who killed 100 million people in 70 years and now he helps the next batch of geocidal maniacs who institutionally rape children, mutilate women, put them in long dark clothing and throw them in Jail for being raped. You must be SOOOO proud!!

  • excellent interview, really should have a lot more views

  • The interviewer's smugness was nakedly apparent, but he was respectful and conducted a good interview.

  • @fagbert Steve Paikin always looks like that and always speaks like that...... that's just who he is.

    It's one of the reasons I don't like him that much... but it's not his fault he looks/sounds like a tool.

    I don't even like Steve Paikin that much and even I recognize that people crying about his interview tactics obviously have some biased agenda (LOL STEVE PAIKIN THE AGENDA) they want to push..

  • The interviewer is a bit disgusting, but it's a good interview.

    "Well, start with Hamas, Hezbollah, go on from there" *smug face*

  • wake me up when noam tells a lie or causes the death of another human being, i know now that i am in for a long kip, that ought to keep the right wing haters busy for some time if they can force themselves away from fox news for ten mins

  • gooood interview

  • this marxist is not happy until were all living in a socialist system, except for him, he has created a $3 million trust for himself so he doesnt pay tax on it. he is a traitor, ahypocrit, and an evil evil man ! anarchism always leads to despot dictatorship, which is always marxist/socialist. anarchists live in fairyland, and need to be culled.

  • @1973mazdarx4coupe The 2 million trust is for his grandchildren cause he is not going to live that long. And his anarchists ideas means that the government should be run from the bottom to the top, it's called democracy. He calls marxism a religion and he discards it. He even considers himself a 18th century conservative because he believes in traditional values, freedom, no power systems.

  • 23:40

  • Was Clinton "Blocking" a two state solution with the Oslo Accords. When a guy comes right out with a wopper like that (even a man like Chompsky) it's hard to look at him as credible, or unbiased.

    For a smart man he sure likes to selectively read his history, and omit the parts that don't fit his narrative.

  • @Mathesonguy: By whom were you painfully struck on the head my sweet? Chomsky's noted elsewhere the Oslo agreements did not halt the ongoing US funded Israeli settlements which devour Palestinian territory, which is why the head of the Palestinian negotiating team, Haidar Abdul-Shafi, refused to attend the White House ceremony in 1993. The settlements continued through the entire Oslo process. The peak year for construction was 2000, Clinton's last year. Funding Israeli expansion blocks peace.

  • i've never heard of this liberal chomsky. Palestine is a threat to the security of the United States never mind Israel. If anyone thinks different that u guys are stupid. I saw the posters on the library here in dc. It said if you dont support Israel our women will turn into the virgins in heaven and the US govt never lies.

  • It does not matter what media, Chomsky always corrects the interviewer with facts, not the accepted lies. Watch Evan Soloman's attempt to interview Chomsky on the CBC, spend less time running, more time reading! Been a fan for 25 years and Chomsky looks and sounds great for 80 odd years old. Try the next Chomsky-like thinker, Chris Hedges.

  • The interviewer mostly just repeated standard, accepted knowledge and arguments (for example: discussed the original 1940s agreement to found the state of Israel), and was a little biased towards Israel (didn't mention that the same 1940s agreement was also to found Palestine). But he was very polite, concise and had interesting questions. Chomsky was calm and gave intelligent answers.

  • I like Noam.

  • Comment removed

  • And now for something completely different: watch?v=fOIM1_xOSro

  • Thanks for having Noam Chomsky on the show. It's much appreciated, and I hope you have him on for a discussion on domestic policy sometime.

  • @PurpleHoneyBear Or linguistics!

  • @PurpleHoneyBear -- HAhaha....

  • He brings up the US in his anti-Israel campaign of misinformation... Try looking up the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo old man. Research the ***actual history*** of the United States, then you will see that treaty was shortly after Mexicans (Spanish) took the land from the Native Americans (like Romans conquer the Jews in Israel, then Muslims did 800 years later) Mexi-Spain didn't settle much in those areas in America due to land barriers such as the Seirra Nevada & Rio Grande.

    Lying old fogey.

  • @KingDingaLing090 Your comments crashed my browser, bro... Guess the shitty Toshiba at my folks' house can't handle that much vitriol. Drafting up an e-mail to consumer reports as I watch this.

  • @pendulousphallus I dont know what you are talking about. Did I insult your leader little dumplin? I know Chomsky never gets a word of criticism from the children and Jihadis that he indoctrinates... Hmmm I guess the facts hurt. Did I say something that isn't true?

  • @KingDingaLing090 IE crashed coincdentally when I was reading your comment thinking to myself, "Gee whiz, this guy seems a little hostile." That's all.

    Catch more flies with sugar, bro.

  • @pendulousphallus -- Some people get a little upset when they talk about enemies of their country who are indoctrinating childrenwith lies. Is the blind acceptance of misinformation and perpetuation of terrorism a custom where you are from?

  • @KingDingaLing090 I try to stear clear of customs. One time I was coming back through Detroit and some poor bugger had his entire car torn apart panel by panel and there was nothing he could do about it. They have you by the short and curlies once they think you're suspicious.

    Is phrasing questions like this so an honest conversation difficult a custom where you are from?

    Learning about other cultures is neat!

  • @KingDingaLing090 Typo: "is difficult". My apologies.

  • Dear Agenda staff in charge of booking interesting guests,

    Fucking score!

    With love,

    --Pendy.

  • @KingDingaLing090

    I don't see what that has to do with you touching kids.

  • @deathtrip2000 -- This comment was bizzare.

    Chomsky: Look, the perverts are coming out to defend you. Maybe it is because you pervert history and facts so you can perpetuate hate, genocide and mass murder.

  • @KingDingaLing090

    But you weren't defending Chomsky.

  • @KingDingaLing090: Your command of geopolitics proves defective as your leaking breast implant for brains. Chomsky's work was banned from the Soviet Union because the man was an abiding critic of Stalinism even when Stalin was a treasured Western ally. If you were not an irredeemable vulgarian with an IQ south of ten you might have known this transparent fact. Chomsky punctures holes in your mendacious imbecility so wide through which one could drive a coach and three horses. Poor widdle thing.

  • Comment removed

  • @the81kid: To call the infinitely wise Chomsky "a piece of trash" like that Teabagger should not be allowed to go unanswered don't you think my lovely? I'm respectful of the duly respectful. When I am dictator, I propose to drag the merchants of imbecility to the sewage plant and hurl them in, but I fear they may contaminate the sewage. I'm a radical environmentalist who cares deeply about the welfare of coliform bacteria. Nuke the rascals say I, and save the coliform. Bacteria are people too.

  • @FromAtomsMade Your dear leader "the infanitely wise Chomsky" (LOL) used his sacred quest of anti-Americanism to produce anti-war protests to help bring about a communist vitory for the North Vietnamese thus enabling the bloodbath that followed. Afer Saigon fell in 1975 they exectuted tens of thousands of innocent South Vietnamese, they threw 3 million people in the your dear leaders beloved "re-education camps" and produced tens of thousands of "boat people" who parished in the Gulf of Thailand

  • @KingDingaLing090: Your command of English grammar is abominably defective as your grasp of history. For one thing, America was not remotely interested in liberty for it supported the French colony in Vietnam till it was driven out by the anti-colonial struggle. For another, the US bombed South Vietnam no less ferociously than the North killing in excess of three million people. Proof yet again that you're one drop of semen that your mother should have swallowed.

  • @KingDingaLing090: How many times were you dropped on your head by your mother? Poor widdle thing. The Vietnamese resistance to American aggression was part of the anti-colonial struggle against foreign domination that had driven out the Chinese and the French previously. The US helped Pol Pot rise to power by carpet bombing Cambodia and killing 500,000 people thereby driving the population into the arms of the Khmer Rouge who were till then a marginal rural movement without any support.

  • @KingDingaLing090: If you were not so misfortunate as to have a discarded breast implant for brains you might have noted that Chomsky was staunchly anti-Communist and that his support for the Viet Cong was no different from his support for anti-colonial struggles across the thrid world be it in India or South Africa. Consult the wikipedia entry for the number of Vietnamese incinerated by the US aggression against South Vietnam. It's three to four million dead. Your mendacity fetches no one.

  • @FromAtomsMade Right he is so anti-communist that he went half way across the world to go support them and help them win a war where they subsequently slaughtered millions of people in a typical communist revolution. He's just a "socialist". Oooookay if you say so.

    Freak.

  • @KingDingaLing090: How amusing to observe your massive cognitive deficit. To contend that one should not support anti-colonial struggles because they have authoritarian elements is to contend the American Revolution was wrong because the Founding Fathers were slave drivers. The Vietnamese manfully resisted US imperialism and the American people were supported by Chomsky in bringing the criminal war to a halt. Proof yet again that you're one drop of semen that your mother should have swallowed.

  • @KingDingaLing090

    Murdered millions...that's what the U.S. government did in Vietnam and Indochina,( the Vietnamese are still suffering from the effects of that war) not the Vietnamese. The Vietnamese communists were authoritarian, but as if you/U.S. care about that. The U.S. has a long history of backing brutal dictatorships, as long as they supported U.S. interests. You seem to have conflated the Vietnamese with the Khmer Rouge...the Vietnamese actually stopped the genocide in Cambodia.

  • @KingDingaLing090

    Incidentally, the U.S.. government was supporting a genocide in another part of the world that was taking place at the same time as the Cambodian genocide, only this genocide was conducted in the name of anti-communism. The U.S. government aided the Indonesian invasion of the small island of East Timor, and the subsequent genocide against the East Timorese people, not that this invasion and genocide gets any coverage.

  • @KingDingaLing090

    And of course, the notion that opposing a war against a particular group of people = support for the ideology that said group of people adhere to is patently absurd...a total non-sequitur! By your "logic" my opposition to the Afghan War = support for the Taliban, and the primitive tribalism of the Pashtuns, even though I am an atheist and vehement opponent of irrational tribalism/nationalism!

    Chomsky is not even close to Marxist-Leninist/Stalinist. He's an anarchist!

  • @harmlesstree: Contending with the vulgarians who claim that Chomsky likes to eat babies is a pointless endeavour like counting the grains of sand on a beach. If you want to help the merchants of rightwing imbecility, you might do better instead if you pay for them to have a brain surgically inserted. I will personally make a donation toward buying them a set of balls. Together, helping the victims of arrested development, we can drive imbecility from the earth.

  • @FromAtomsMade ""Cite your source: "US bombed South Vietnam killing in excess of three million people"

    You liar.""

  • @KingDingaLing090: If you weren't labouring under a cognitive deficit, you might have noted that I've already given you the citation for the number of Vietnamese fatalities. Consult the wikipedia entry for the figure. Or crack a history book sometime and read the black squiggly lines between the covers you mentally defective drop of semen that your mother should have swallowed. I know that reading comes not easy to one so constructed as you, but I will help you my sweet.

  • @FromAtomsMade Your source is: "Consult the wikipedia entry for the number of Vietnamese incinerated by the US aggression against South Vietnam. It's three to four million dead."

    You are pathetic dude. Wow. LOL!!! Here is am consulting Wikipedia.

    Wikideia: "Civilian Deaths: R.J. Rummel's mid-level estimated that 65,000 North Vietnamese Civilians died from 1960-1975...The Vietnamese communist government in 1995 estimated that 2,000,000 Vietnamese civilians on both sides died in the conflict"

  • @KingDingaLing090: Your comprehension skills inescapably suggest a gorilla's attempt to play the violin. The wikipedia entry says that over three million people were killed in the Vietnam war: "Estimates as to the number of Vietnamese soldiers and civilians killed vary from less than one to more than three million." If you don't quit lying about American history, I will tumble you on the bed and discharge myself in your mouth.

  • @KingDingaLing090: What is a rightwing Hitlerite like yourself doing trolling on Chomsky videos. I think a more appropriate venue might be StormFront. Take your filth elsewhere you revolting fascist.

  • >>>>>@PhilosopherSY<<<<<< This is the SAME DORK ON ANOTHER CHANNEL AAAAHAHAHAHA!!!

    He is going around giving himself a thumbs up!!! AAHAHAHAH!!!

    Ohhhh my God....what a pathetic piece of trash. Great job indoctrinating these freaks NOAM!!! YAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!

  • @KingDingaLing090: Is the reason for your endless trolling because in a former life you were mounted like a bison by Chomsky? Poor widdle thing. If you recline into my hairy arms my sugarplum, if you let me squeeze you like a bunny, I promise you'll walk funny in the morning beaming a radiant smile.

  • @FromAtomsMade Oooookay buddy. o_0

    Dont cry now...lol

    : )

  • @harmlesstree "Murdered millions...that's what the U.S. government did in Vietnam and Indochina,"

    Give me a source for this number. This weirdo "FromAtomsMade" cant do it.

  • @harmlesstree much of marx's writings incorporate anarchist ideas.

  • @harmlesstree Well said!

  • @harmlesstree Good reasonings here. Obvious why Chomsky doesn't even sniff American MCM exposure. I think a lot of Americans would benefit from hearing his analysis, while others (i.e. ruling class) would be threatened. He grinds mainstream corporate media poodle pimps into powder in his sleep. Another reason he's persona non grata. Your critique identifies the reductionist, dichotomous thinking that grips the American mind. Is there a way to preserve NC's brain when he dies in 30 years?

  • @FromAtomsMade --Your fancy pantcy alphabet soup proved nothing. It is easy to sit back and say Stalism is bad after he murdered tens of millions of people. Chomsk's "work" made a pilgimage to Hanoi in 1970 to pay homage to communist tyrants calling their activities "the capabilities of human spirit and human will" praising Hanoi as "a radical version of the Eternal City." Making sure not to criticize them, because they are of course on his team, against Americans. Lesson 2 continued next....

  • @KingDingaLing090: On display here is the perfect rebuttal against evolution: If Darwinian survival of the fittest holds true, quite how one so mentally defective, so thoroughly enstupidated, so innocent of matters political like you manages to survive defies explanation. Chomsky opposed the incineration of Vietnam that slaughtered upwards of three million people and a good job he did. The American people stood united against the barbarism committed in their name.

  • @FromAtomsMade What are you babbeling about now? 'He opposed the destruction of innocent lives' who he helped destroy with psuedo-intellectual poems and anti-war rallies encouraging and validating the communists in Vietnam?? Looks like your dear leader had NO IDEA what he was romanticizing about because "the radical version of the Eternal City" was a actually more like a slaughtering house, we all know what communist sympathizers caused in Vietnam and Cambodia after we left (Millions of deaths).
