Does Noam Chomsky Hate America?
Advertisements [?]
Nah. Just imperialism


It's said that you can judge a man by who his enemies are and what they're willing to say about him to shut him down. With that in mind, it might be instructive to examine what the political enemies of Massachusetts Institute of Technology Linguistics professor Noam Chomsky have said about him.

David Horowitz, reformed leftist turned Likudnik shill, describes Chomsky as "a pathological ayatollah of anti-American hate – and the leader of the treacherous fifth-column Left." Werner Cohn put his poison-pen to work, crafting the subtly titled Partners in Hate: Noam Chomsky and the Holocaust Deniers, a 1995 book which trafficked in hysterical innuendo and specious speculation. Todd Gitlin, who never lets anyone impeach his leftist credentials by forgetting that he was President of Students for a Democratic Society a few decades back, claimed that Chomsky was "irritable" in the wake of 9/11/01; to Gitlin, Chomsky "wasted little time on the attacks themselves before launching into a wooden recitation of atrocities carried out by the American government and its allies."
