I agree. No one is saying the liberals on this board are anything like Chomsky. At least most of them.

However, when there are marches on Washington, Chomsky is a speaker. When the left writes journals and magazine articles, Chomsky is writing a lot of them. University professors worship him. Public radio carries his speeches. Chomsky throws a lot more weight around the "official" left movement than Falwell does on the right.

What Chomsky says is taken as gospel by these people, and incorporated into the left-wing culture in this country.

It has been my thesis that most Democratic voters, minorities, labor union members, and people who consider themselves "liberal" have overlooked--either deliberately or unconciously--the fact that the formal left-wing movement in this country has gone completely around the bend, and that the national Democratic Party is close on their tail. Guys, Hubert Humphrey ain't around anymore.
