Noam Chomsky

[Aught3]

I was looking at picking up one of Noam Chomsky's books for a bit of light reading. Anyone have a particular favourite of his to recommend?

I recommend avoiding his work. He's a double agent put in my fundamentalist christians to make atheists look stupid.

Here's a curious quote from Noam Chomsky:

"If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged."


Nuremberg Laws: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_Laws



I can't quite work out what he meant, or why he felt it necessary to reference Nazi oppression in that context in the first place.

 

[Kvisling]

Just your standard petty anti-americanism.

Hmm, I'd suppose he accidentially mixed up the Nuremberg laws and the trials

Yea, that would explain it,....although it's still a disproportionate comparison for him to have made.
