1. Chomsky is a Great American |

He has provided another point of view for over 30 years in the face of constant crude put downs and threats. I don't agree with a lot of his positions, but boy do I value the insight and fearlessness he brings to presenting a non-mainstream point of view. And that point of view is that the USA is sometimes a corrupt capital imperialist. He's made quite a case for it. His detractors never come close to refuting the facts and arguments he marshalls, they just engage in petty ad hominem attacks.
Chomsky is a national treasure. His attackers are professional poison pens, not thinkers.
