I think '99 is way off base to suggest Chomsky and Limbaugh are the same thing. The quotes are conclusions taken from well-thought out research which IS meticulously footnoted and backed. A far more apt comparison is Chomsky and RAND or the Fraser Institutue. There is a HUGE difference between a reasoned, researched and rational opinion from the left or right and someone like Limbaugh. Generally, I have found that I can disagree with Chomsky's premises and conclusions, but I don't think I've ever come across something where I got the impression he was spouting simplistic opinion or playing fast and loose with facts. OTOH, I've never failed to get anything but this impression from Limbaugh.
