The track at the beginning is sick

This dreadful excuse for an assessment of Chomsky's arguements against Obama by the white kid is shocking. I have watched Obama closely of over his presidency from a range of reputable sources including Democracy Now, The Real News, The Young Turks, Norman Finkelstein to name a few, and Obama has consistently given all but everything away to the opposition even when he has been in a strong negotiating position. This is what you expect from leaders who are merely corporate puppets and right wing.

The cartoon intro was a bit crass.

@jacksawild The corporation is institutionalized greed. It is their legal imperative to be greedy. This has become an abomination within Capitalism that has to be brought down. People equate Capitalism with the corporation. Capitalism pre-dates the corporation. The corporation was a product of the 19th Century and usurped power in the 20th. They now have total power. They are the great cancer in Capitalism and have completely taken over the host so that the host is barely visible.

IT's knowledge is thorough, like a polished surface. You give them no respect. You conceive of politics and morality only in terms of your own imperfect conceptualization.. And then you lend the finenesss of your mind to the leading of barbarians, to murderous hearts who would rather kill than think.

When IT speaks of Noam Chomsky to me, they do so with a subtly unique timbre to their voice. He is one of them. They are a little bit like a mother to a child, when they speak of him. He is the highest of angels in training.

The Holy Bible: the whole earth, by Bull.

IT sorts. IT loves order. IT loves progress. And perfection. Thus Mess-higha.

The Bible is complex in a way that no other literature on earth is complex. In my view, it unites literature with information science. It is extremely well-written.

8:00 - another falsehood. Chomsky did not support Obama, only encouraging voting for him in swing states. He also harbored no illusions. This program needs better fact checking....

5:00 - false. Chomsky, contrary to the speaker, has strongly criticized the intervention in Libya, several times.
