Moore channels Chomsky

Source: http://fora.tv/2009/09/17/Filmmaker_Michael_Moore_on_Capitalism_A_Love_Story

"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 -- even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate."

--Noam Chomsky, "The Common Good"

This is just too funny. Like a kid that found a new toy (political spectrum) and is playing with it. Most people play with this toy and throw it away...when they are twelve.

@7jerryv7

You've had your say. Don't spam the video with the same message. We're already aware that you find Moore to be amusing.

Moore is an opportunistic entertainer. Chomsky is a brilliant scholar.

Moore would channel Chomsky about as well as Dawkins would channel the Lord.

@zitools excuse me?

@Ravengaurd6 andale andale.

Moore is garbage. Chomsky is gold.

Moore doesn't even hold the same base principles as Chomsky on Statism.

He believes in class stratified rights, He believes in the proliferation of state force

and only thing he can channel is a burrito.

People listen to Moore when they are too lazy to read some Chomsky. This man is a fucking pundit and Chomsky is a scholar. Any of you "left of center" would do well to read more Chomsky and much, much less Moore. I've read "Stupid White Men" and never before felt more embarrassed for the left.

[USTreasuryBond]

Yea, but you aren't center or right of center. You are a disgusting statist of the worse kind

[ImMichaelTaylor]

The way Goebbels put it; "What you want in a media system is ostensible diversity that conceals an actual uniformity."

[GoingGoingGalt]

@vktrsx Yea, you could pretty much say the same thing about the right-what Moore is saying has been known for a long time in the form of the Median Choice Theorem. Moore is just too much of an intellectual lightweight to realize that

these remarks has nothing to do with Noam Chomsky just click on the Chomsky on Socialism link to the right of this vid dumb ass.
