Gnome Chomsky
Communist, Sociopath, Dingleberry
Ha Ha Ha, Hee Hee HeeI'm the laughing gnome and you can't catch me
<http://www.oldpunks.com/oldpunks4-2.html>

The longest e-mails sent to me are invariably from the cult followers of
cultish personality figures Ayn Rand (Nazi Uberman theory meets absolute
selfishness) and Gnome Chomsky (Communist Sociopath), both of whom I've
made fun of to no end in the past. At best I skim through these e-mails
because they're pretty much the same - long dissertations of ideology and
hero worship, insults to my intelligence, and challenges that I defend my
positions to their satisfaction -- as if that were possible. The goal
isn't to honestly debate anything since these people's beliefs consume
their brains like burning tar. I think it's their way of having me waste
valuable typing time just to tell me I'm wrong. I couldn't care less about
defending my beliefs, especially to ideologues. And if there's anything
more I hate than ideologues, it's sociopaths. Combine the two and all I
see is red, which is also by the way the color of Gnome's ideology.

My favorite cultist argument is that I can't judge a putz like Gnome until
I've read and fully understand everything he's written. The circular logic
is that I can't have an opinion without knowing all the facts, and if I
don't agree once I (think I) know all the facts then there's something
wrong with me because the truth is all there! It's so obvious! It's the
left-wing version of the bible thumper's who's-on-first routine of "It's
true because it's in the bible, and it's in the bible because it's true".
Believe you me, I've heard and read enough Clamsky to know I dislike the
man.

Let's get this out of the way for the last time - on a practical level
there is no such thing as Anarchy. It's the weirdest fringe of Socialism
and a song lyric out of the mouth of Johnny Rotten, who specifically used
the term to mean chaos. Socialism is the well intentioned face of
Communism, the worst failure-in-practice of any concept known to humanity.
You can dance around all you want that Anarchy dates back to the dawn of
time, and fancy it up with references to the Paris Commune of 1871 and all
the other Socialist endeavors Anarchists claim as their own, but Anarchy
is at beast a Utopian daydream and at worst a rationalization for
nihilism. Anarchists were kept at arms length by Socialists and utilized
as idiot goon squads, just like Hitler used the street thugs known as the
Brown Shirts.

No, it's not W.C. Field's motherIt's hot Anarchick Emma Goldman Anarchists
spend a lot of time defending Anarchy as a peaceful movement, yet most of
what the world sees from Anarchists is violence. All claims to the
contrary don't equal squattily-doo when 96% of your ranks are fatalists
who just like to f--k s--t up. It's important to note that Anarchists have
taken over the Green Party in the same way neo-Nazi Pat Buchanan and his
ilk strong-armed the Reform Party from the quaint collection of eccentrics
who kept the seats warm after Perot bailed out.  The far left and the far
right should fight a battle to the death with sporks. The last numbnut
standing should be awarded a cookie and then shot.

Gnome calls himself an Anarchist but that's a trendy label he uses to
deflect from his real ideology of Communism, which he practices with all
the worst methods and pathologies of a rabid ideologue. Gnome cares as
much about racism and worker's rights and women's issues and the homeless
as a rapist does foreplay. Where I once thought of Cloopsky as an
intellectual coward and a hypocrite, I now see him as a pathological liar
and a sociopathic ideologue. He goes way beyond Equivalence in his
arguments against Capitalism and the United States. Clipsky aggressively
denies transgressions on the part of Communist butchers like Stalin, Pol
Pot and Mao. Everything is the fault of the United States and Capitalism.
Everything. The enemy of his enemy is his friend. I'm sure Clitsky pissed
his pants in joy when the Twin Towers fell. Gnome doesn't present "the
other side of history" as points of informtion or inducements for debate -
it's a PR campaign for an agenda that's purely Communist in its tactics
and intent. Anarchy my ass, Gnome quacks like a commie and walks like a
commie. Quack-a-doodily-do. What he hopes to achieve I don't know. Does he
really think America will elect to become Communist? Does he think he can
help weaken America enough for Communists to take over? The guy's psycho.

Chumsky followers, mostly belligerent, educated, middle class school kids
for whom conspiracy theories are currency of knowledge and therefore power
and independence, take it to mean something that Gnome is an MIT Professor
of Linguistics, his major work being theories on innate human language
learning abilities. This makes him as much of a scholar of political
theory as the school janitor, but for arguments sake let's make the
assumption that his expertise would then be based on an insightful mastery
of the logic of language, as if Gnome's qualified to know a lie when he
hears one. That might work, except he's one of the most shrill, sound bite
spewing, droning and uncivil speakers to ever be allowed in front of a
microphone. The documentary Manufacturing Consent is great if you want to
see how ineffective Gnome is as a speaker, and how he consistently makes a
negative impression on neutral parties in the news business. He's called
to be on talk shows to debate one side of an issue but is so
unprofessional and unpleasant he's not asked back. The film makes this out
to be proof that the strength of his words threaten the powers that be,
but it's obvious the guy's just a crappy guest and makes for bad
television. I love the scene where William F. Buckley warns Clutsky he'd
better follow standard rules of civilized debate or he'll personally get
up and kick his ass. Buckley's saying all this with a smile through
clenched teeth, which meant he really really wanted to do it. I laugh
every time I think about it.

There's now a bunch of anti-Crapsky stuff out there on the internet to
balance out all the blind dogma his followers have been posting for years.
The best can be found at David Horowitz's site:

What I hate most about Gnome is not that that he's a Communist. To call
yourself a Communist when not even Communists want to be Communists
anymore is just odd. It's that he's a sociopath willing to lead well
intentioned kids and dangerous cretins down roads of negativity and
destruction for an ideology that's proven over and over again to be
morally, politically and ethically bankrupt. He does it by knowingly
telling only half stories, half truths, total lies, by denying even the
genocidal crimes committed in the name of the ideology he pushes, and by
ramming self-hating dogma down the throats of young minds to create
instability for its own sake. Anarchists are the Oompa-Loompas, and its
promises are The Everlasting Gobstopper. The horrible truth though is that
Loompaland was filled with horrible Wangdoodles and Hornswogglers and
Snozzwangers and rotten Vermicious Knids.

If you hate conservatism the answer is not "Mao more than ever" under the
guise of Love, Peace and Anarchy. When someone presents you with an
ideology that claims to have all the answers, run. You can be the world's
most devout liberal and still hate Gnome Yomomsky for being so
aggressively bankrupt. He gives liberalism a black eye, and he should be
marginalized or ignored as much as possible. The Green Party works to
ensure another Republican presidency, and in a sick way that's what they
want. They want things to get so bad that moderates will have no choice
but to turn radically left. Their wet dream is a right wing police state
where they can fight a guerilla war. It's a very sad scenario and very
mean spirited at its core.
