Noam Chomsky: woodchuck

[LoZoccolo]

http://organicconsumers.org/corp/chomsky090204.cfm

I believe that Noam Chomsky is a woodchuck all day and all of the night.

[Fumesucker]

1. We are proud to welcome brother Noam into the Woodhuck hall of fame

It is a mighty challegne to recognize all the true woodhucks out there, wherever they may be and whatever walk of life they may occupy.

[LWolf]

2. It IS a mighty challegne, isn't it?

:rofl:

[Erose999]

3. Isn't Chomsky in favor of anarcho-Syndicalism? Given that he truly favors a system

that is not reflected in either side of the "Woodchuck" paradigm I would think his opinion would be immaterial to the question at hand.

[janx]

36. Who says that the woodchuck doesn't concern himself with labor?

And who says that his paradigm is only two-sided? Learn more about the woodchuck's worldview, friend. That is my advice to you.

[Electric Monk]

4. Polanski Nader Oasis? Also woodhucks all day AND all of the night?

5. Noam the man! My question is

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

[janx]

42. Quite a bit, provided he had a pragmatic and sensible plan. n/t

[TheKentuckian]

6. Wow, that is woodchuckish. In 2004 he was willing to say Kerry was a fraction different than Bush

The article just oozed "sensible centrisisim".

Keep reaching and spinning.

[LoZoccolo]

7. Sparkles is a liberal. n/t

[Dr.Phool]

39. Anybody who has ACTUALLY READ Chomsky, would understand how unbelievably stupid this post is.

[LoZoccolo]

52. Did you read what he said on the page at the link?

[asdjrocky]

8. Quetions--

Do you somehow see it as your job to somehow marginalize liberal heroes? What do you think this will accomplish?

[LoZoccolo]

9. LoZoccolo: woodchuck

[Electric Monk]

10. Woodhuck (link) own it

[LoZoccolo]

11. Are you trying to challegne my statement?

[Electric Monk]

14. Nice to see you have a sense of humor about it. nt

[asdjrocky]

12. Man, that cartoon just drilled into your brain and it won't leave, will it?

[LoZoccolo]

13. Would you say the same about the Robert Gibbs' statement?

[asdjrocky]

15. You must answer other peoples questions if you expect them to answer your quetions.

Didn't your parents teach you that?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

41. +1

[LoZoccolo]

51. Every little thing the reflex does leaves an answer with a question mark.

21. Do you see it as your job to defeat President Obama?

One question leads to another, doncha know...

[asdjrocky]

24. No.

See, I even try to answer the stupid questions.

[MineralMan]

30. Ya coulda fooled me, then.

Carry on...

[asdjrocky]

32. Dude, in my time spent here-

I find you to be one of the most foolable people, so that's no great compliment.

[MineralMan]

34. LOL!

:rofl:

Enjoy your day...I will.

43. There's that "you people" thing again.

When will you learn? I am not "you people." I am an individual, and everything I post is as an individual.

[Bluenorthwest]

16. Then you should be active in your support of the French

paying Haiti back the money they extorted, and the President should also join that list of those calling for the return of the funds. That is the Chomsky news of today, what he is doing today, and if you are allies, how are you going to support that current effort? In fact, why are you not focused on that justice making movement right now? It is almost as if you and Noam have nothing in common at all. Makes a person wonder. He's in the news today. This very day.

[LoZoccolo]

54. I was only speaking of his strategy, not his ideology.

[Chan790]

60. I'm reminded of the scene in Annie Hall

where Marshall McLuhan tells the pretentious guy in line at the movie theater that "you knows nothing of my work."

If you knew anything at-all of Noam Chomsky's work you'd know that he's rather diametrically opposed to your values and if there is even the appearance of commonality of approach, it's about as likely that its' incidental as it is that it's the result of you miscomprehending.

[Bluenorthwest]

62. And I was speaking of your actions, not your rhetoric

So you don't stand with Noam Chomsky. You simply wish to use him as a device of argument.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

20. Who's to be the next Woodchuck? Lenin? Mao? Castro? Robespierre?

[walldude]

22. You can't be serious... . You, a center right Democrat,

are praising Noam Chomsky an avowed Socialist. Who are you kidding... Here let's see how you really like some of Chomsky's views:

Here's Noam calling out Obama on his "imperialist policies"

http://dandelionsalad.wordpress.com/2010/06/12/noam-chomsky-obamas-imperialist-policies/

Oh here he is calling Obama out on foreign policy:

http://www.democracynow.org/2010/3/15/noam_chomsky_on_obamas_foreign_policy

OOH.. Here he is on Obama handing the banks a gift:

http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0329/chomsky-banks/

And here is Chomsky rating Obama's first year in office:

http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2010/03/chomsky-rates-obama’s-first-year/

So tell me again how this person who stands with what you and your ilk call the "15% minority" of people who didn't get their pony", is a "woodchuck"?

[LoZoccolo]

26. I am merely pointing out that he is advocating pragmatism.

[walldude]

37. Okay so how do you reconcile your views with his "pragmatism?"

Because if anyone on DU said the things that Chomsky is saying, you certainly wouldn't be pointing out their "pragmatism". You'd be berating them for their "hate".

[LoZoccolo]

53. I guess you'll have to point it out when it happens.

[Marr]

23. You're *still* smarting from that cartoon?

That's funny.

[LoZoccolo]

25. If people are offended by Robert Gibbs, does that mean he's right?

[Marr]

33. Yes-- there was an element of truth to Gibbs' statement.

That's part of the reason it stuck around so long. Can you admit the same with this Woodchuck...?

[LWolf]

38. Apparently you're still offended that the left was offended.

:rofl:

[nashville_brook]

58. the neverending butthurt

[LoZoccolo]

61. Are you still offended by Robert Gibbs' words?

[closeupready]

27. You've been batting zero lately.

Maybe give the Obamamania a rest?

[LoZoccolo]

28. By what measure?

[Electric Monk]

29. Anyone paying attention.

nt

[closeupready]

35. Yup.

n/t

[POAS]

50. Is your measure of

"paying attention" agreement with you?

[lefty2000]

31. I dont get it.

What woodchuck?

[LWolf]

49. Chuckles, the pragmatic and sensible woodchuck that

has catapulted some into a frenzy trying to defend pragmatic and sensible progressives. They've attacked him. They've adopted him. Now they are trying to link him to actual left leaning, respected people.

It's been a 3-ring circus of daily entertainment for weeks now.

You had to have noticed. ;)

[Radical Activist]

44. Howard Zinn was the same way.

Yes, they continued to criticize Obama and Democrats. But they could also have a rational discussion about how Obama is better, acknowledge areas of improvement, and admit that the possibility for change is greater under someone like Obama. People who think they earn their dissident merit badge by attacking Obama no matter what he does could learn something from Zinn and Chomsky.

[Radical Activist]

48. I guess one person CAN make a difference.

:bounce:
And I thought DU didn't really matter.

[McCamy Taylor]

55. I dont think I even want to know what all this "woodchuck" is about.

Because this thread smells like Divide and Conquer to me.

[LoZoccolo]

56. Wouldn't it help you make a better accusation if you knew?

[Bluenorthwest]

63. Woodchuck is another name for a kind of marmot

A rodent, more often called a Groundhog. It is also a comic character that hit too close to the heart of the moderate centrist tap dance, and wounded a few posters, apparently on a soul level, unable to overcome the colorful ink and biting words they saw one day. Groundhog is the better choice with them, because everyday it is the same old thing. Over and over again.

[stevenleser]

57. Kick for the 'chuck! Yep, we gots Chomsky. Who you got?

LMAO
