'''Noam Chomsky''' (born December 7, 1928) is an American linguist who was a pioneer in [[Chomsky hierarchy|generative grammar]]. Later he became an extreme left-wing propagandist. He advocates holding America to an absolute standard of ethics in foreign relations, but has not held such a standard elsewhere. 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>
