Here is a great American: Noam Chomsky

CaptainObvious · Oct 18, 2012

You left one out. He is a prime example which shows the difference between thinking about something, and actually having to do it. Big difference between an "intellectual" and intelligence. He's an intellectual, which means a guy with a lot of bright ideas that don't have a chance in hell of working in the real world. Academia is full of them.

SouthAmerica: Reply to Mav88 and CaptainObvious

Both of you it seems to me that you guys are completely clueless about anything to do with Noam Chomsky â but you still want to show your ignorance about this subject to the readers here at the Elite Trader Forum with your postings.

I will make an effort to at least show to you guys where you can find information and educate yourself about Noam Chomsky, his books, lectures, and so on....

I know this is a very difficult task to reach someone like Mav88 â someone with the mindset of a 5-years old brat, and the intellectual grasp of a jackass.

People from around the world admire and respect this âGreat Americaâ.

Here go educate yourself at least a little about this subject, before you continue posting here on ET your non-sense and very ignorant postings.

Noam Chomsky

It is so important that you keep an open mind to new ideas, and to the opinions of people with superior analytical capabilities such as Noam Chomsky.

It is important not to dismiss someone simply because youâve heard his opinion about something that you disagree with â then you wrote that person off about everything else.

Noam Chomsky is considered the number one intellectual alive here in the United States today.

He is the number one most quoted âliving authorâ today, and he is the number 8 most quoted author in history.

I love Noam Chomsky, and I enjoy all his lectures and writings.

Noam Chomsky represents the "Last of a Dying Breed" here in the U.S. - Americans who use their brain to think.

By the way, the US mainstream media is completely clueless about what has been going on around the world for a long time.

Noam Chomsky is one of the few people here in the US who can connect the dots, as he consistently grasps the essence and what is at the core of most problems here in the US and abroad.

By the way, Mav88 if you don't behave yourself on ET we are going to send you back to timeout.

Really? Noam Chomsky himself promotes anarchism and declares himself an anarchist, so if Noam Chomsky is not the authority on what Naom Chomsky is all about, then I suppose you are? How assinine of you.

I don't give a shit even if that is true, I am actually an american and I have more authority to declare what is great for me than you do. If some foreigner wants to worship that crap, go for it, but you cross the line and become highly offensive when you presumptously want to declare such crap.

Here go educate yourself at least a little about this subject, before you continue posting here on ET your non-sense and very ignorant postings.

Prove Chomsy is not an anarchist before you tell me to educate myself you buffoon.

Superior analytical abilities? prove it

Have you ever even heard of appeal to authority? turning chomsky into some sort of god-man, jeez that's pathetic, and you have the audacity to say I think like a child.

Some of Chomsky's 'bright ideas' include defending the Khmer Rouge, an almost universally despised group of communists who slaughtered on a Stalinesque scale.

The guy is a communist prick, as are his followers, and he isn't all that bright.

http://frontpagemag.com/2010/jlaksin/chomsky-and-the-khmer-rouge-the-observer/

That unwanted history is of Chomsky himself casting aspersions on critics of the Khmer Rouge. During Pol Potâs reign, Chomsky disputed the refugees themselves. Since Cambodia, he has expanded his game to North Korea and Bosnia. I must hand it to him â more than three decades after wagging his finger at refugees like myself in âDistortions at fourth handâ The Nation, 6 June 1977, and later in After the Cataclysm South End Press, 1979, he continues to quote selectively and to obfuscate. Chomskyâs formula is straightforward: 1 quote a critic saying something supportive of one little piece of an argument you wish to make; 2 needle other critics with it; and 3 repeat ad infinitum until you weave an entire tapestry with this flimsy thread. It is a game that only a linguist of Chomskyâs calibre can master.

I am merely a former Cambodian refugee, for whom English is my fourth language. Yet it does not take much effort to find precisely what Chomsky wrote in 1979 After the Cataclysm and to let it speak for itself:

âIn the first place, is it proper to attribute deaths from malnutrition and disease to Cambodian authorities?â

Since my father died of malnutrition and disease, I am especially outraged by this question. While my family worked and died in rice fields, Chomsky sharpened his theories and amended his arguments while seated in his armchair in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I believe that he would probably have me blame the Americans and their bombs for causing everything around the Khmer Rouge to go wrong.

Incredibly, Chomsky and Ed Herman did precisely that when they claimed:

âIf a serious studyâ¦ is someday undertaken, it may well be discoveredâ¦ that the Khmer Rouge programmes elicited a positive responseâ¦ because they dealt with fundamental problems rooted in the feudal past and exacerbated by the imperial system.â¦ Such a study, however, has yet to be undertaken.â

Perhaps that study had already been undertaken but was ignored, as Chomsky and Herman intimate: âThe situation in Phnom Penh resulting from the US war is graphically described in a carefully-documented study by Hildebrand and Porter that has been almost totally ignored by the press.â This is high praise for a book that contained a propaganda picture of a Khmer Rouge âhospitalâ operating room.

Another great American who wants to change America in to something completely different than what it is, but enjoys the current freedoms and benefits to be critical.
Just another stupid leftist who won't admit in his version of America guys like him would be silenced. Idiot!

Oh that's a great argument. You should not criticize America because you have the freedom to criticize America.

Thank you CaptainOblivious

Where did I write you can't be critical? My point is, his criticism and suggestions are that of a fool. He bitches because he can, knowing his silly idealogy can never be implemented in the real world. Typical pinhead!
