'''Noam Chomsky''' (born December 7, 1928) is a far-left, anti-American political writer. His main idea is that we should hold America to an absolute standard of ethics in foreign relations, but he studiously ignores such violations by other countries, even when they are hundreds of times worse. He is the academic world's biggest [[hypocrite]].<ref>"He begins as a preacher to the world and ends as an intellectual crook." -- [[Arthur Schlesinger]] - ''Commentary'' magazine, December 1969</ref>
'''Noam Chomsky''' (born December 7, 1928) is a far-left, political writer. He advocates holding America to an absolute standard of ethics in foreign relations, but has not held such a standard to other countries. He tends to ignore such violations by other countries, even when they have been far worse. Fellow liberal academic, [[Arthur Schlesinger]], once referred to Chomsky as "an intellectual crook." <ref>"He begins as a preacher to the world and ends as an intellectual crook." -- [[Arthur Schlesinger]] - ''Commentary'' magazine, December 1969</ref>
