Noam Chomsky generally speaks for the far left, and he hates Republicans. But in this article:
"Noam Chomsky ... spoke his mind on the Trump administration’s ongoing scandal concerning Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with a Russian lawyer. In Chomsky’s view, the meeting should rather be regarded as a responsible diplomatic gesture than an attempt at collusion, and media would serve the public much better by focusing on what’s going on behind the scenes of America’s most popular reality show."
A RESPONSIBLE DIPLOMATIC GESTURE.
Chomsky is horrified by the Republican party in general. But everyone should notice that he thinks Trump Jr.'s Russian meeting was just fine. While all the Democrats are having sh-t fits over it.

Stop and think.
Ok, I stopped and thought.
I disagree with Chomsky and do not really care what he thinks anyhow.
Lil Donny Jr. is self-entitled brat who rubbed his hands together in anticipation at the thought of getting dirt on Hillary, and that is why he met with the Russians.
Lil Donny doesn't care about diplomacy. If he did, he would not call respectable people, far more experienced and mature than him, 'nutjobs.'
Lil Donny is a waste of space who has accomplished nothing on his own and he should stick to running Big Daddy's businesses and keep his nose out of the country's business.

Far be it for me to disagree with whom I considered the best intellectual of my lifetime, but one thing doesnt stop the other. Chomsky considers climate change to be a species level catastrophe through that lens there is nothing worse than what the Ryan wing is doing to regulations, to me I think you have to let it go to crap so all this third party voters can see that is not all the same ****. As far as russia goes, yes collusion is not a crime per se, I still want to find out exactly what happened, I still want to erode any mandate this administration might have, and most of all you want trump and co to keep stepping deeper in obstruction of justice mud.

So, all you need to become the number one top intellectual is hate your own country even more than you hate all the others???
Yes, Chomsky can be interesting, sometimes, but most of the time he is just a monotonous hater.
And WHY does he HATE so much? Because in Chomsky's dreamworld there is no violence and no competition and everyone loves everyone.
So ... he looks at the REAL world and it does not match his fantasy, and he throws a tantrum.
And THAT is what got him "elected" the number one smart guy of the left.
Oh ... but you will say ... Chomsky is a LINGUIST. That makes him especially able to see through the political bull****.
Sorry, he is NOT THAT KIND OF LINGUIST. Chomsky's linguistic theories are absolutely useless for trying to make sense out of political discourse. He DOES NOT USE HIS LINGUISTIC THEORIES AT ALL in analyzing politics.

What a batch of crap the left has fallen for.
He knows a lot about political history (doesn't mean he's always right) but as a linguist you are completely correct, he has been disproven time and time again. His LAD theory is such unmitigated nonsense with no neurological research or even common sense applied to it and despite this he'll still claim it's a legitimate theory in the field of psychology.

Yeah it's disgraceful.
I studied cognitive linguistics myself, by the way, and got a PhD in it. I read all about the history of linguistics and how Chomsky fit into it. Basically, he hijacked American linguistics. He dominated it, and it was hard for anyone to stand up to him.
Tragic, really, because linguistics is, or can be, such a fascinating and useful subject.
I did NOT follow Chomsky in my research, not at all. Lots of people, including my professors, recognized that his ideas were useless.
NEVERTHELESS, he became a political "genius" based on his being a linguistic "genius."
I will tell you how Chomsky became famous in the first place, and maybe you will understand how the craziness happened:
In the 1950s Skinner, the famous radical behaviorist, was saying the mind is the blank slate. The human mind, according to Skinner, is NOT programmed to learn a human language.
Obviously, Skinner was wrong, but he was famous and had a forceful personality, so lots of psychologists believed him.
Chomsky, being outspoken, and smart, challenged Skinner on this and won a debate with him. The "cognitive revolution" was born.
Ok, yeah, Chomsky was right about that. But that DOES NOT MEAN HE IS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING.
Maybe, but he is often called the foremost American intellectual.
Crazy lies get started and you can't stop them.
