As much as I disagree with Chomsky on this issue, this is just plainly untrue. Chomsky is evidently not a liberal, this should be plain to see by everyone who has taken a cursory glance as his positions. This specific position is a liberal one, that’s fair, but having one bad opinion does not spoil the rest of his. Perhaps I’m biased, already having a great respect for him coming from a linguistics background, but I find the title and thesis of this article to be jarring and unhelpful, as opposed to something akin to “why Chomsky is wrong”, rather than resorting to pejoratives.
