American Horse
AKA "Mustang"
He is a "partisan hack" and I have read his (and Herman's) "Manufacturing Consent" in which they theorize that the media (along with academe) are willing tools and propaganda arm of corporatists to control us with their propaganda , blah, blah, blah."Extremely lucky," in the words of the radical philosopher and linguist Noam Chomsky, "that no honest, charismatic figure has arisen."
Chomsky, the author of a massive body of work including nearly 100 books and someone who has spent much of his 81 years exposing and deflating the lies of the power elite and the myths they perpetrate, continues:
"Every charismatic figure is such an obvious crook that he destroys himself, like McCarthy or Nixon or the evangelist preachers. If somebody comes along who is charismatic and honest this country is in real trouble because of the frustration, disillusionment, the justified anger and the absence of any coherent response."
I haven't read anything of Chomsky except this small example.
Either the quote was taken out of context, or Chomsky is a "partisan hack."
MLK was charismatic (AND a preacher)
JFK was charismatic
Ghandi was charismatic
Are all these "such obvious crooks?"
