What works? He writes and lectures and pacifies the left like a good gatekeeper. I mean the only salient points the guy makes are in reference to wars and it doesn't take a genius to take the position he does. He fills peoples heads with an unattainable idea.

this is stupid

First of all, I didn't say "his works," as in a list of literature, although he has quite an extensive bibliography: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_Chomsky_bibliography

I said "the work the man has done," and by that I mean: all of his literary works; the immense amount of research he has done to acquire the background necessary to even think about things on his level, much less write those thoughts down in a manner that is somehow barely cohesive to the lay person; the debates he has participated in and speeches he has given; the self-examination it required to take his positions on Israel; the hundreds and thousands of newspapers, journals, and magazines he has digested; the courses he has taught; the departments he has chaired..

The list goes the fuck on. That dude accomplished more in any given month of his life than any ten people accomplish in their lifetime. How dare you question the work of Noam Chomsky? Disagree with him if you feel that is necessary, but do so specifically, and only after critical thinking. Only a great fool would speak with disdain about such a person.

And you accuse me of the shallow critique? LAUGHING MY FUCKING ASS OFF BRO

this is correct
