In reply to the discussion: Noam Chomsky blasts Obama: He has no moral center [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)48. Well, hell, that settles it. Let's all regroup at InfoWars now...
I'm only presenting this for discussion for people to make up their minds about where Chomsky is coming from. I don't agree with the OP. I'd chanced upon the fact that Chomsky was interviewed Jones doing another search. I found two videos:
New World Order Debate - Noam Chomsky and W. Scott Thompson 1991
Alex Jones Interviews Noam Chomsky (Part 1) (for Part 2, go to youtube)
I'm not even going to watch this, but those who believe Obama is part of an international, multi-generational plot will probably find some validation here. If anyone thinks this should not be here, let me know and I'll delete it.

What's up with this? That's not analysis, it's more like rumor without foundation. Disappointed.
