So This Just Happened

In Which Noam Chomsky Says Sarah Palin “Was Right”


It’s unusual for left-leaning activists to jump to former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s defense, but Noam Chomsky did just that by saying the Alaskan was dead-on with her criticism of Barack Obama’s “hopey changey” campaign.

“I don’t usually admire Sarah Palin,” Chomsky said during a video interview with Democracy Now. “But when she was making fun of this ‘hopey changey stuff,’ she was right, there was nothing there.”

I definitely didn’t expect that out of Green Party presidential candidate backer Chomsky, especially since it’s rare to see non-right wing political figures speak favorably of Palin in the media, but these two have a point that the message came across as empty and florid. There’s a reason Obama didn’t deploy it again for presidential election round two, and good riddance.

    Obama didn’t deploy it again, because now he’s got a record of utter failure to run on.   Now we really do need change and President Romney will provide it.

    It’s a shame it doesn’t happen more often, or in the other direction.  All U.S. politicians have an enormous amount in common, good and bad.  They have so much in common, that highlighting their distinctions isn’t always enough and so have to pretend that there is nothing on which they can agree.

    All politicians are attacked on both sides, and so they have allies on both sides.

    No one working within the system is going to disrupt the system the way that Noam Chomsky desires ie. why can’t Jamie Dimon lose his bonus for overseeing such a huge loss. 

    Sarah Palin doesn’t want the system disrupted – she wants to make sure it is maintained because  without it, she can’t keep her family grift going. The fact is since the Obama Presidency, the Palin family has made millions. So what exactly has she got to whine about?

    This is bread and circuses for clicks masquerading as some kind of thinking. Laura and I are diminished for even commenting on this bit of inanity.

    Geez, telling Palin she’s right about ANYTHING, even something this minuscule, will make her head grow three sizes.  Don’t encourage her.
