I love Noam, and I'm sure millions of others do to.  I hope he's aware.

[WastedTourist]

Does anyone get the feeling that Noam was up for a bit of a debate at the end there? Maybe he likes a bit of verbal sparring now and again.

[mohammmadtouchedboys]

I love Noam but he's dead wrong. There were no rockets launched by hamas but there were thousands launched by their "unofficial" associates. Sorry, Noam. In all his speeches, in all his writings... Noam NEVER criticizes islam (i.e. pig FILTH).

@WastedTourist I've had the great fortune of seeing/hearing him speak 4 times in person and when he's challenged is when he shines the most. This brilliant man wouldn't speak about something unless he is completely knowledgeable on the issue. His total recall of details is astounding. He is beautiful when challenged.

Who was that douche at the end?

I don't think you made a rational point. Nobody's saying "give the arabs what they want". They're saying "stop ruining poor brown peoples' material, social, emotional and psychological lives, and maybe everone'll be better off."

Hm, Chomsky's gay? How'd you find that out? Cool, gay rights, another noble cause for him to advocate for.

Also, what's with your obsession with/severe insecurity about homosexuality? If you're truly gay, there are healthier ways to bring it up in conversation, ya know?

@aewester LOL ChomskyI is a homo Sexually he would get his balls cut off if Arabs took over, he I think is also a self hating Jew lol that6 would mean he gets his dick cut off too, you may want to see all the Jewish people Dead in the middle east, but I dont, and dont give me the bull shit that, just give the Arabs what they want and all will be well, lol if your gay witch I think you are, under Arab Islamic Sharia Law your'll get a hot poker up you ass not a penis

@NiteAngel

"I would love to see Chomskyan live under Arab Islamic Sharia Law"

Well then, you're an asshole. Do you have a point?

[phooey108]

I wish the moderator hadnt cut that exchange off. Chomsky seemed up for it.

[WilhelmDrake]

@NiteAngel - "I would love to see Chomskyan live under Arab Islamic Sharia Law"

What does that have to do with anything?

How does wanting to end a 40+ year military occupation lead to support for sharia law as you seem to imply?

By the same token one could say, "I would love to see NiteAngel live under a brutal and humiliating military occupation", no?

who's the clown at the end? would have loved to see NC destroy him.
