Also, simply picking out small pieces of Chomsky's writing without context is the same thing as Chomsky himself has been accused of. The difference is that this author uses only Chomsky's work to decry him.

Well of course he uses "only Chomsky's writiing" to decry him Thats the entire point of the article.

Also, he's definitely biased. The man favours peace, equality, and responsible government. Don't ever think that he doesn't have an agenda, he does. And that's it.

Really? Then why back Pol Pot, Mao Tse Tung, Ho Chi Minh and Fidel Castro among others? Clearly 3 of those guys are among the most vile and brutal people we have seen in the last 50 years. Nothing "peaceful or equal" about that in any way shape or form.

No one replied to my earlier comment, if Chomsky is lying/misrepresenting his points, why? What does he have to gain? He doesn't exacly live a lavish lifestyle, and basically spends every second of every day tucked away at a computer, reading and writing.

What does he have to gain? How about power over the youth that reads his stuff as well as a whole bunch of money! Why does anyone misrepresent points?
Anyways, back to my original point, the guy hasn't got a political theory in his entire repetoire of writings. His only position is that if its the USA...it's the worst possible thing it could be. Anything else is better, even at the cost of millions of lives worldwide. He is most certainly allowed that opinion as well....because, ironically, that's the beauty of the USA. Freedom of thought and speech and the ability to question government.
Im just happy he only appeals to a small segment of the population as a serious option for information.
He is a propoganda machine...his own.
