But Liberals who believe in the essential goodness of America, they're the ones who can't abide him, who don't want to hear what he, or others like him, have to say.<br /><br />Also, I think it's pretty easy to find "good" things he's said about America. Like in that silly debate he had with William Bennett a couple of years ago, in which he said America's the greatest country in the world.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014014605639738887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23471801.post-71702956892092724042006-12-28T17:12:00.000-05:002006-12-28T17:12:00.000-05:00Chomsky is hated by the Right simply because he po...Chomsky is hated by the Right simply because he points out that the US plays hardball with the rest of the world. I like Chomsky for the most part - although I never get the feeling he finds anything good about America except the freedom to rip into it. So in some ways he becomes the spokesperson for all of those who role their eyes when someone says something good about America. That I have trouble with a bit.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04977662030208589392noreply@blogger.com
