Noam Chomsky’s Latest Whack-Job Screed To Impressionable College Students

America’s most notorious America-hating professor is at it again.

Noam Chomsky, who for five decades has infamously led the charge to convince college students America is The Great Satan, once again spewed his vitriol during a recent guest lecture at Swarthmore College, a private liberal arts institution in Pennsylvania, where his talk was heard by an enthusiastic, standing-room-only crowd.

No topic was left unscorched, as the darling of all leftist scholars (Chomsky is considered by many to be one of the most influential intellectuals in the academic world) went on an unapologetic rant against U.S. policies.

Danielle Charette of the conservative Swarthmore Independent reports:

No one seemed particularly troubled that this is a man who has equivocated on the evils of Pol Pot, praised China in the midst of the Cultural Revolution, suggested Eastern Europe under the USSR was a “paradise,” and collaborated with Holocaust deniers. …

(In his talk) Chomsky accused the Republican Party of “a neoliberal assault on the population” and said the Party’s “nativist” base is “still fighting the Civil War.” He then drew a comparison between the present day United States and the Weimar Republic.

Chomsky next pivoted to the “dark shadow of nuclear war” and asserted that the idea that “governments exist to protect national security in international relations—that’s a myth.”

“As you all know,” said Chomsky, President Obama’s drone campaign, “is the greatest terrorist campaign in history.” Not to outdo himself, Chomsky asserted that the U.S. retaliation on Osama bin Laden was a violation of the Magna Carta “that could have escalated nuclear war.” …

Before wrapping up, Chomsky made sure to defend Iran’s enrichment of uranium. “Of course they have that right,” said Chomsky. Iran is “developing uranium as part of a deterrent strategy against the U.S. and Israel.” Iran’s enrichment is just a “Western obsession,” insisted Chomsky because “[N]onaligned countries vigorously support Iran’s right to enrich uranium. Almost no one regards Iran as a threat besides the U.S. and its allies.”

Charette also reports Chomsky had to be politely told several times to sum up his rant. Apparently the MIT professor just wouldn’t shut up already.

While it’s easy to brush this guy off as an angry, old and crazy man – keep in mind many of these college kids – and the professors who teach them – consider Chomsky a rock star.
