people seem to hold him on some high pedestal.

I myself have not read much of his work at all, so cannot say either way.

He's a professor of Linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

He's generally described as an "anarcho-capitalist".

Chomsky is cocaine for self flagellating liberals and foreign-loyal "Americans." If you want to find a scapegoat for all the worlds problems Chomsky offers you America. that kind of liberalism died on the vine here for the most part, the European intellectual effete eat him up though.

Your engagement in dialectics is tiresome Dave.

There are plenty of American right-wing conspiracy theorists.

These are some examples of right-wing conspiracy theorists.

The difference between left-wing and right-wing is less clear nowadays.

It can generally be narrowed down to three main points however.

Leftists see the working class as the centre of society whereas right-wingers see the middle class as such.

Rightists opt for lower taxes and less social welfare whereas leftists opt for the opposite.

Rightists generally call for minimum state intervention in people's lives whereas leftists believe that it is the role of the state to take care of people.

Verbosity, floridity, hell if you want to sound less hypocritical (or ironic depending on how innocent your statement is) you could go with a word people understand "Wordy"

These are the correct words you were scratching for, dialectics are a form of logical argumentation that attempts to resolve inconsistencies.

I'm sorry you find logic tiresome, we live in a rational world (bold statement), that must be maddening.

Point being?

Chomsky isn't a conspiracy theorist, he is a dinosaur:

Note: See visual

[img]http://www.setbc.org/communities/gallery/harryart/dinosaur.jpg[/img]

He's a socialist and so called "anti-imperialist." Unfortunately for Noam socialism has failed and there are no empires - (for the "dialecticly" impaired 'no' is a big big term which here means "zero"). But this is exactly what his appeal is to European intelligentsia and left wing traitors, he offers you the illusion of a big scary evil "US empire" to blame all your troubles on.

Sort of like a Santa Clause for fear.

Oh, and as an extra Christmas goody he is a Jew and challenges Israel - and we all know how much certain "anti-semitic but don't like to be called it" groups love a good mouthpiece... especially if said mouthpiece can speak Hebrew (or Yiddish, they can settle for Yiddish).

Yes he has broad appeal to lots of people with irrational and illogical ideas that just don't work.

any idea how brainwashed u sound?

From wiki:

Chomsky has in the past received various death threats because of his criticisms of U.S foreign policy. He was on a list created by Theodore Kaczynski, better known as the Unabomber, of planned targets; during the period that Kaczynski was at large, Chomsky had all of his mail checked for explosives. Chomsky also states that he frequently receives undercover police protection, in particular while on the MIT campus, though Chomsky himself states that he does not agree with the police protection.

:shock:
