Sadly, as stupid as Chomsky is, that book will be more entertaining than the romance novels the cover is making fun of.

Did you ever try to read Chomsky? Anything would be more entertaining than one of his books.

Yes. It was mindnumbingly bad but at least I could make fun of it. Romance novels, on the other hand, are just mindnumbingly bad. There's really nothing there at all to make fun of.

Wow, that book must the compilation of the ultimate literary evil, the bore Chomsky combining his might with the foul crappiness of three dollar romance novels from Walmart.

And you should see the size of his cock, especially when the Levitra kicks in.

Of course, we know that impotence is merely the byproduct of totalitarian oppression.

I find Chomsky interesting even though he's way more left-wing than me. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have know about Kennedy's terrorist war on Cuba or Reagan's terrorist wars in Central America.

You think he is stupid? Let me guess, you read a paragraph, thought "wacko lefty" and started talking about how stupid he was?

Some Jewish Russian idiot I guess.

No, I've read most of his books and commentary, and even read his original non-political work (in linguistics) and aside from his work in linguistics, found him to be irrelevant.

I've read plenty of works on the Left, including Lenin, and found them interesting and full of insight - Chomsky isn't someone I regard as an authentic Left philosopher.

Now if you wanted to say he's someone who waves the banner of fear and paranoia about conspiracies concerning America, and whose central theme is one of hatred of America, I'd say you were right. But I didn't stop reading at one paragraph.

The books on language and syntax are sitting on my shelf now - quite well worn with yellowed pages. Chewy goodness.

I also have Hegemony, Media Control, 9-11, and Understanding Power. A waste of money and time - but I didn't feel qualified to say that until I had read them from cover to cover. I just knew someone would say something completely stupid like, "Let me guess, you read a paragraph, thought "wacko lefty" and started talking about how stupid he was?"

No, I read his works. And then I concluded, "paranoid wacko". No Left involved.

Anything written by Christopher Hitchens makes Chomsky look like a kindergarten buffoon. Whether you pick his Left or Right period.

Thanks for the book recommendations, but that comment was actually addressed to Armed Bookworms.
