Chomsky is a peerless moral giant whose command of the facts are second only to the gods. The man's historical knowledge is boundless and his political activism matched by nobody. The greatest mind alive without a doubt. Chomsky is to the twenty-first century what Bertrand Russell was to the twentieth: A moral inspiration like no other. To read him is to shed one's illusions about the brutal reality of the American empire.

This kid got schooled.

Hehe, I agree that it's nice to see Chomsky getting riled up, but I guess people are just reacting to the reporter's right wing views.

So yeah, it's entertaining to watch somebody who obviously disagrees with Chomsky try to interview him, but that doesn't detract from the fact that the reporter's politics are shit.

I assert it's a bit much to even consider there exists a single individual who is a number one, unless the discrepancy of mere fractions is really a concern, which I doubt here applies. The population is too large for there to be but groups-of-a-kind. It's great to look up to Chomsky and Russell, but we must take care not to immortalize others- I suspect that's that same thing inherent in the species, that tendency to immortalize, which brought gods and religions into place.

Hah he got kind of steamed at the end with even the suggestion that what the US was and is still doing is in anyway a "just cause".

[NASTEfilms]

why are people giving this reporter shit? personally, i would like to see noam chomsky answer his questions with a little conviction.

It's boring when somebody that agrees with chomsky is the one interviewing him. i like interviews like this where we really get to see noam's teeth.

[citizenihilist]

Fuck. Yes.

What we must all realize, We are all God. God is an expression of ourselves, we choose our own fate, and live by our wills. Even thought is God's. We are the premise of what is real and false, we our illusions of ourselves. This is fault of our own. The answer to fix all is to love infinately. Knowledge does not matter without love...we are the knowledge.

I think Mr Chomsky is perfectly correct and he tells the truth as it is.
