"There were people with real grievances," says Chomsky. "The Nazis gave them an answer."-----World-renowned intellectual Noam Chomsky has been pushing change in language, politics and culture for decades. The controversial expert on modern language explains why "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." - Commonwealth Club of CaliforniaNoam Chomsky, a professor of linguistics and philosophy at MIT, is the author of numerous books on U.S. foreign policy, including American Power and the New Mandarins, Political Economy of Human Rights (two volumes, written with Edward Herman), Fateful Triangle: The United States, Israel, and the Palestinians, and Pirates and Emperors, Old and New: International Terrorism in the Real World. His most recent books are Failed States and Perilous Power.

Apr 15, 2012 - What do you think neo-cons are? Neo-cons are liberal conservatives, or moderates. The point is neo-cons ARENT conservative.
MrTreantHugger Says:
Apr 15, 2012 - Neo-cons aren't liberal conservatives. They're Trotskyists pretending to be conservative. McCain was more of a Goldwater conservative.
Jononutoob Says:
Apr 15, 2012 - Neo-cons are high spending, big government so called "conservatives". The only thing you have said I agree with is that neo-cons are pretending to be something they are not. McCain is nothing like Goldwater. McCain approves of a police state to combat terrorism, Goldwater was opposite of that. Bush increased govt spending in education and healthcare, he was a liberal conservative. I dont see how there is any argument here.

Apr 15, 2012 - If that's the criteria, why not have a look at the treatment of homosexuals in Soviet Russia? I guess you could argue that the Soviets were right wing. At least it would be kind of funny given the context of this debate.

Apr 26, 2012 - Grandinquisitor7 is a Christian Impersonator. This skank claims she knows for fact the will of God. This skank claimed God chose Sarah Palin to be the next president. So, if the voices inside this skanks head are not that of God, they must be that of Satan.

May 7, 2012 - "Its not exactly hard" ? My chap. you dont know half of it. As someone so aptly put it in a random discussion forum with a random comment : "If you smell enough turpentine/gasoline, you too can be a considerable force in american right wing politics"
MagicalHax0r Says:
May 10, 2012 - Nazi Germany was national socialist. People look at this and look down upon the far-right, but what about the far-left? Just look at Sweden's media. I guess people only want to view things that doesn't hurt their beliefs/feelings.
MagicalHax0r Says:
May 10, 2012 - Actually, Chomsky never proved himself correct.Burden of proof is on him. Nice try, weasel.
syntaxed2 Says:
May 16, 2012 - Lol comparing swedish media to a far-right fascist ultra-religious propaganda machine that spews hate on gays, blacks and non-christians, good one!A more viable comparison would be Iran or Saudi-Arabia.
MagicalHax0r Says:
May 19, 2012 - Propaganda is propaganda, my friend. There is no degree to propaganda so long as the people suck it all up.
MagicalHax0r Says:
May 20, 2012 - Also, Nazi Germany was actually National Socialist.
syntaxed2 Says:
May 20, 2012 - Nazism was a far-right ideology but it does not surprise me you believe otherwise.
MagicalHax0r Says:
May 20, 2012 - It was National Socialist, you moron. Stop believing the media so much, you stupid leftist.
arenasification Says:
May 22, 2012 - unfortunately, chomsky is right. and he is by far the most intelligent and educated public intellectual in the US these days.
