Linguist and political activist Noam Chomsky criticizes right-wing media outlets, which he describes as delivering a message of paranoia and economic populism comparable to Nazis during the Weimar Republic. "There were people with real grievances," says Chomsky. "The Nazis gave them an answer."

World-renowned intellectual Noam Chomsky has been pushing change in language, politics and culture for decades. The controversial expert on modern language explains why "the smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum." - Commonwealth Club of California

Noam Chomsky, a professor of linguistics and philosophy at MIT, is the author of numerous books on U.S. foreign policy, including American Power and the New Mandarins, Political Economy of Human Rights (two volumes, written with Edward Herman), Fateful Triangle: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinians, and Pirates and Emperors, Old and New: International Terrorism in the Real World. His most recent books are Failed States and Perilous Power.

Our jewish congress supports the wars. Look at the names behind the Iraq war. Every Zio jew was in support of that war when no WMD's were found even MI6 said that.

"Noam Chomsky straw-man Rightwing talk show hosts say "liberals own all the corporations".......uhhhhh, no, no. Wrong." You are stupid human being. Conservative always complain about the "liberal media" as if the USA had one as most of the media is run by corporation who have a right-wing corporate bias.

You know Jews don't support overemploy support Israel discussing actions to the Palestine but idiotic Christian Right-wing who have to much power as they make terrible economic & foreign policy which makes the world hate the USA. The day conservatives are gone, the USA can move forward to the 21th century.

You see this happening in Greece with the Golden Dawn Party.

93 percent of all U.S. media is jewish controlled. You will never hear the word " Zionism" in U.S. media

1) You're right they don't claim liberals own the corporations. They claim the Jews do! Especially the Nazis in the patriot movement. They would redo the holocaust all over if they could!

2) Reich-Wingers give to the rich. Leftists take our money back. Not controversial at all.

3) His general point was Reich-Wingers portray leftists as only helping "the other" and not the average American. You're clearly intellectually incapable of addressing his actual points.

Reich-Wing FAIL!!

Hey buddy, perhaps you should listen more carefully than you would have understood what he said. I have no idea how you (unless purposely) have misunderstood what he was saying.

LMFAO!

''Chomsky spent a career defending & DENYING Communist genocides..'''

Chomsky's favorite ''mass murdering ideology'' is Communism????

Are you out of your fucking mind??? Lol. This isn't even worth responding too. Please, sir, site the sources for these absurd claims, because I seem to have missed them. Show me where he was even remotely said anything of what you just stated.
