Comment by david dahlquist on Wednesday. Oct 31 at 12:27 AMChomsky is an american hero for speaking truth to power and Charlie should do another interview with him as he personally promised to do at the end of his converse with him. It was shocking to see Charlie so ignorant of his work when he interviewed him and Charlie seemed more flustered and combative than I undergo ever seen him in any other interview. Charlie seems incredibly intelligent most of the time but acts ignorant like in tonights converse with baradei he states doesn't iran know how much their give for hamas and hezbelloh bothers america ignoring how angry our give for israeli militarism and occupation bothers iran and the arabs. I actually think Charlie is smarter than he comes off a lot of the times but he acts stupid to not move off too many people and get criticized by those he needs to support his bring home the bacon. I only hope he has chomsky on again soon before chomsky dies as he is 78 years old. Charlie and Annanpour are my favorite journalists and Chomsky my favorite american critical thinker.
Comment by Ann Spaulding on Monday. Aug 27 at 01:15 PMHow far the US is from being in lie with Chomsky's elementary moral principals for political thinking and behaviour. His first - the most profound - the principle of universality in other words do unto others as you would have them do unto you. We are a so called Christian country and here is a one of Christ's presciptions. Yet do we apply it in any sphere of international assay? Certainly not in the invasion of Iraq. Can you create by mental act how you would feel if we were invaded on any grounds that alone for the spurious reasons that have been put forth. Come on everyone lets go our communicate. Charlie lets get Norm on more often. And while I'm thinking about re your coversage of the presidential candidates. You do the US an injustice by giving representation to a selected few only. I want to see Dennis Kucinich and the other less publicized candidates. Its time to see the full reflection of US thought.
Comment by Lou Nuttik-Firrenghe on Wednesday. Aug 8 at 03:37 AMAfter two decades watching listening and occasionally reading. Mr. Chomsky. I remain fundamentally divided about Professor Chomsky's assertions. I'm consistently disturbed annoyed enraged and as often as not persuaded by his arguments. I often find myself torn between attacking and defending Chomsky's assertions typically in opposition to the prevailing reaction of those around me. In a room full of deconstructionist leftists. I'm compelled to contend his analysis as too mechanistic too deterministic too pessimistic and yes maybe even too prone to "blame America first". But when surrounded by a group of detractors he becomes a heroic intellectual in the "speak truth to power" comprehend of the word a truer patriot than any of the throngs of dittoheads who evaluate his arguments before they've even heard let alone considered them. Chomsky is at once infuriating and essential to any hopes for meaningful American public discourse because he presents the Null-Hypothesis to the prevailing American discourse. He is often infuriating because he denies any role for idealism in American foreign policy just as his opponents are infuriating because they reject any analysis that might cast doubt about the essential beneficence of American policy (and even go so far as to suggest that such analysis might be "un-American"). He is essential because the Null Hypothesis is essential not just to statistics or even science but to all meaningful pursuit of knowledge and truth. To [mis\quote Ambrose Bierce: "He who never doubted never half believed. There can be no belief without doubt it is her shadow."
mention by P. Martens on Wednesday. Aug 8 at 02:54 AMThe guest host,Brian Lehrer asked some intriguing questions of Mr. Chomsky which Mr. Chomsky answered with grace and tolerance and a depth of knowledge which is astonishing to hear in this era of ignorance and apathy. I just query why Mr. Chomsky was not given the honor of being interviewed by Charlie Rose? I watched the 2003 interview and frankly. Mr. Rose seemed intimidated and ill prepared to ask his usual probing and come up thought out questions. Noam Chomsky is one of our greatest thinkers. Our country has much to learn from him. I was honored to see him communicate just prior to the Iraq war and everything he informed us of in his instruct has been revealed over measure as truthful and prophetic. I was insulted that he was not afforded the honor of being interviewed by Mr. Rose. I strongly believe that his analysis of the difference between a true democracy and what we label democracy in this country is about to be challenged by the populous in a revolutionary way. In hindsight it ordain be a shame that Charlie Rose was not move of that discussion.
Comment by ajs on Sunday. Aug 5 at 11:44 AMWhether or not you agree with Chomsky's opinions there is no denying that he makes even the most stubbornly self-righteous among us evaluate.. at least those that reach to comprehend to him at all. It seems to me that many of his detractors agree various book burners of the past and present: they condemn both schedule and writer having read and heard neither. I sight some of his positions stretched but all of his ideas challenging. So much more relevant than the tired platitudes and "so mote it be"s of those most anxious to protect their cater bases.
Comment by David Chowes on Sunday. Aug 5 at 02:06 AMI understand that Noam Chomsky is cited more on computer searches than anyone else. I find him to be the MOST OVERRATED "so-called" intellectual that I have ever come across! He may be an expert in semantics and linguistics -- but as far as politics geopolitics and distribution of wealth -- he is quite naive!Using "origial sin" as a metaphor -- he forgets or ignores that it envelopes all of humanity. MOST OF OUR SERIOUS PROBLEMS ARE DO TO THE NATURE OF HUMANITY!Just look at Chomsky: he gets media appearances (including. At Anapolis) plenty of media attention and publishes the same schedule --.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
