Not enough said; could you substantiate that a bit? It's easy to drop a smear, but if you're going to voice a real objection to Chomsky, at least give something substantive. An article or something he said or wrote would be nice.
Most people who try to smear Chomsky have nothing to back themselves up, which is sad given the number of books he's written.. his views are very public and none of which supports the statement that "Chomsky adores Mao".
By "good war" you mean easy, right?Wars aren't supposed to be clean, simple or easy. They are meant to ugly and painful so they never have to be repeated.
Chomsky confuses me: On the one hand he appears to be rather open minded about the evils of American government. On the other hand, he flatly dismisses even the possibility of 9/11 being an "inside job" (when even his colleagues insist the events were perpetrated by the Bush Administration). I don't get him...

The Rush Limbaugh of the left? Oh god I can't believe he just said that.
