Chomsky, on the other hand, is extremely influential, and it is this level of influence that does more to prevent true progressive values from finding the light of day.
He is a reactionary rather than a person concerned with values, and much of the left is goosestepping along with him right into political irrelevance.There is only so much of that knee-jerk anti-American and, anti-west cr@p most people can stomach,and it just sends more moderate people in the opposite direction. | I had no idea that Chomsky was extremely influential. do you have evidence that he is? when was the last time his views appeared in the mainstream media? how are the left goosestepping along with him into political irrelevance? how is it irrelevant? please give examples of kneejerk anti-American and anti-west crap originating from Chomsky that have been picked up by the left on an "extreme" scale. please provide evidence that moderates have been influenced by Chomsky and reacted to his message in the opposite direction.
I generally hope that conclusions are based upon evidence. your evidence is ... a hunch? a couple of anecdotes?
talk about emotional polemics...
