    Chomsky is himself a crackpot. Chomsky believes all of the world's ills can be blamed on the US government and US corporations. He has denied the Cambodian genocide by the Khmer Rouge -- and, like Nixon, has never admitted his mistakes. He is dishonest about his sources, misquotes people, and uses innuendo and sarcasm when he can't defend himself. Indeed, his slipperiness is least likable trait.

    Chomsky is not a great man. He hasn't had a new idea since the 1960's and contributed nothing to his field since. His rage against the US, Israel, and capitalism masks his inability to come up with an alternative system. For all his complaining that no one listens to him, he fails to answer the most important question: why should anyone pay any attention to him at all?

    Crackpots of all stripes attack Chomsky. All great men have their Colliers and Horowitzes, like dogs have fleas.
