Sorry to sound so anti-intellectual, and make a typical internet comment, but, nevertheless: I love the guy picking his nose in the background!

[Chomskyan]

I think he was on the outer rim the whole time.... haha

[Xenu]

Why did it end in mid-sentence? This was the most interesting part!

[Chomskyan]

I know, it was weird. Maybe the tape ran out. I emailed Democracy Now and they told me that's all the footage they got. It feels incomplete but that's what we are stuck with.

The most informed man I have ever seem on American foreign policy why he is not at the forfront of the media informing the dense american public

[varnastan1965]

turkey is a terror state, barbaric, ruthless, governed by the rule of killing, torture, a state which silence the voices of kurdish children and women with violance, beating, bullets &killing, with policy of assimilation & annihilation for the last 85 years against the kurds, burning of thousnds of villages, forced migration of millions of kurds, banning the kurdish language & culture, our strive for democracy,freedon & peace rewarded with bulets & imprisonment by the turkish police and army.

@RayLaffan "why he is not at the forfront of the media informing the dense american public"

No doubt he is intelligent, but he also devotes a lot of time to research. This is something the rest of us "knuckle-draggers" have the ability to do as well. In fact, Chomsky writes and talks about this. Check the following books out: Chronicles of Dissent, Keeping the Rabble in Line, The Prosperous Few and the Restless Many, What We Say Goes. I'm sure he addresses it elsewhere as well.

[MrTaurushill]

Well, its a bad thing to say, but the reason is just what he has said many times. The (propaganda (internet notwithstanding)) system works.

[JSparkleZ2]

That is how someone becomes a top professor at MIT... By making everyone else in the world look like drooling idiots...

You know a guy is brilliant when the answer to your question involves five fact you didn't know...
