"Noam Chomsky thinks Bush is much worse than Bin Laden."

What else do you need?

Chomsky, as a representative of the far left, and unfortunately one whom the press listen to as if he were authoritative on the subject of politics rather than on his field of expertise--linguistics!--is a nut. And he says stupid things like this, and has done all his life. How can you listen to someone from the far left any more than you listen to someone from the far right? It's because you've kidded yourself for years into believing that Leftist thought is normative and right wing thought is just evil. Nothing but evil, and needs to be attacked and degraded whenever possible, such that all right wingers become monsters, demons whom listening to is an act of evil.

This keeps the leftwing mind solidly closed. It's exactly like greeting a Jehovah's Witness at your door.
