I admit I don't know much of this guy so I watched this clip you posted and all I got from it was someone who trips over his own words .
He comes across as someone who has a hard time expressing himself which leads me to believe he doesn't know what he's talking about.He has a hard time getting his point across.
Also wanted to add this;Why can't you support America's troops without supporting the policy?
Lets compare. Noam's

Brainwashed into a religous nutjob, took advantage of unemployment system then rails against people who are on it fairly. Has to have family friends help him post on a sports message board.

Rusty,
Remember when you made a post a few days ago about some comment being over someone else's head.

By the way I just was showing Rusty what it is to embed. Didn't mean to point out what an idiot Rusty is. That has been done to death.
Rusty, the point Chomsky was making is that the phrase "Support Our Troops" is an empty, meaningless slogan. This isn't exactly a revelation. Americans have always fallen for the sloganeering of the Defense Dept. That's why they spend $500-$600 million a year on advertising.

Sorry Tramp. I think Rusty's displayed a very open mind on issues since returning to the political forum. I only had his best interests in mind.
I was just giving my take on the video,that's all.
One could argue that Support our troops is NOT an empty slogan.
What really is sad is instead of a subjective response everybody(except Trench) responded like a 2 year old.Yes I get the reason behind the embedding TU.

Funny how you and TU seem to never be logged in at the same time and posts are eerily similar:shrug: ...
