Daily Kos: Chomsky Executes a Full Godwin; Wingnuts Flip

Khomeni was never a socialist, he was a theocrat who despised socialists.

I would be laughing hysterically if it weren't so disturbing.

It seems as though a fairly large contingent of the right wing in this country has suffered a psychotic snap and cleaved off from reality, as so painfully evinced by the sheer incoherent raving in some of those comments.

What's that new online game... something about "Civil War 2011"?

They're withdrawing into their own little self-serving fantasy land at this point.

The Republic of Stupidity

....and the 'seeder' has some sort of immunity?? Oh, yeah..I'd be 'laughing hystericaly' too... Here's some more 'ignorance' from Chomsky.....

CHOMSKY ON MARKETS;

''So where's the market society? Well, it's there, it's at the marketing end. Even there, marketing is carried out in a way intended purposefully to undermine markets. In fact, we all kind of know it, but we parrot the words without recognizing it.

So you've seen television ads. Suppose there's a television ad for a drug, or a car, or something. In a market society, what you would have is a description of the properties of the commodity because then you get what are called informed consumers making rational choices.' But that's not what you get. What you get is forms of delusion because the business wants to create uninformed consumers, who make irrational choices. That is, they want to undermine markets. Which is very much like the political system. You want an electorate, which is uninformed and makes irrational choices under modern democracy, so the whole kind of ideology is so remote from reality that it's almost impossible to discuss.

And this is not something like Quantum physics. This is something right in front of everyone's eyes. It takes tremendous amounts of indoctrination to be able to produce journalists and commentators and academics, and others, who can talk about it as a Free Market society because it's right in front of your eyes that it's nothing of the sort. So that really takes effective indoctrination.

And it's not that people are lying. It's worse than that. It's internalized. You really believe the falsehoods you're producing. Like a well-run totalitarian society, or a well-run religious faith where people don't lie when they say there are miracles. They believe it. And people aren't lying when they say it's a market society. It's just sort of driven into them that you don't question it even though the counter-evidence is right in your face.''

I'll stand with ANYONE who has the courage to read Chomsky.... The man is spot on, right on the money informed....and he doesn't mind sharing.....

When I first approached this seed, I skipped the read on the blog.....I misunderstood what you quoted, Max...thinking you were advocating what turned out to be just an example from the many ignorant comments regarding Chomsky's remarks...thinking them to be your own... you weren't clear enough, or I really needed to read before judging things, so, please take note...you, along with 'the republic of stupidity', that my heart is with you as it turns out...

Is the radical right wing still trying to lay claim that Hitler was a socialist.

Hitler and the Nazi party were as much socialists as china is a democracy. After all China does call itself the democratic republic of china or as of lately the the democratic peoples republic of china.

Amazing how contards like to latch onto a label. Then they like to try and claim that that same label that someone applies to themselves validates that counties political system.

Sure the Nazis deceptively labeled themselves "The Socialist Workers Party" but in practice they were anything but socialists. Only an utter frigging moron would believe that the Nazi party was a socialists in practice.

Of course we are talking about illiterate contard logic here and considering the vast majority of them don't even know the difference between socialism, fascism or an oligarchy its kind of hard to take them seriously in anything the say

It's a well established and peer reviewed fact that the Nazi party adamantly opposed and economic as well as political liberalism. So trying to rewrite history and re-labeled them as liberals or socialists is simply asinine.

I heard a rumor that Glenn Beck is busy writing a novel with the tentative title "My Struggle".

Been reading Chomsky for years. The wing-nuts wouldn't have the intellect to know what it meant without flashcards and coaching. Nice comments on the Kos thread. Quit reading Kos two months before the election. A little too hysterical for me.

I like Chomsky but at times he seems a bit too intellectual for me. He is almost always right, his arguments crush conservative stupidity but he needs to remember that he is only an adviser, not the president.

As much as I love Chomsky, he couldn't get two parcels of piss passed if he were president.
