Chomsky is basically sort of a left-wing conspiracist with idiot-savant tendencies. He has a remarkable ability to connect dots that to a non-gullible person are completely unrelated, and thus deduce that any randomly chosen act of 20th-century evil was part of some sinister design by the American government.
What is most distressing to me is that academics, especially those whose opinions about world affairs are the farthest distance beyond their knowledge about same, love him. They take his bizarre analysis as authoritative gospel, and use it to (with a straight face) rebut claims made on behalf of the propriety of America or its government. They cite Chomsky out of laziness instead of doing the hard work of getting up to speed on history themselves. When it is pointed out (by me, frequently) that the Chomsky interpretation of the data is typically the most bizarre out of numerous ones available, they usually just get angry.
