I'm going to watch the linked vid, but knowing that Noam is trying his best to be famous again ( as if it was the 70's then the 80's etc ) when he was half right and very clever :P

I Will report back if he's just gone senile again, or, is actually being relevant :D

Hang on, do I need to look at that ugly woman first for a minute and a half ? Apparently so :?

Anyway , re Chom, and before I view the vid, he is anti just about everything, so I'm gonna make a wild guess that it is the structure and process that got Obama ( and anyone else for that matter ) into power, that is the issue, rather than Obama himself ?

I never did much Noam Chomsky if any, so I was able to watch the speech without any preconceptions, which is the best way to go with anything huh?

I just thought the speech was a great review of little known historical facts and how they tie into the present day.

The title of this thread was a simple attempt to bait some dim-witted, close-minded, shallow and petty people into exposing themselves to a bit of light.

Not that Obama does not deserve criticism, he certainly does on many issues, it is just it just happens that he is the favorite past-time of many on the left of the Bell curve, so he is as good for getting their attention as cheese is for mice.
