Noam Chomsky on Republican Candidates: 'No Analogue in American History' | Death and Taxes
Chomsky noted that he’d just returned from Europe “where people just can’t believe what they’re seeing here, what people are saying.”
He pointed to environmental catastrophe and global warming denial as a prime example of this European disbelief and horror at what’s occurring in American politics.
“[T]ake one of the really crucial issues for the human species: doing something about environmental catastrophe. Well, you know, every single one of the Republican candidates—maybe not Huntsman, but every major one—is a climate change denier. It’s kind of ironic in the case of Perry. He says there’s no global warming, while Texas is burning up with the highest temperatures on record, fire all over the place, and so on.”
...the Republicans are quite openly psychotic. And by psychotic, I mean, of course, that they are removed from the fabric of reality.
...
As Chomsky notes, “it’s just off the international spectrum of sane behavior.”

Chom is a prime example of a totally "ignorant" intellectual. He doesn't even realize that Texas summers show no warming trend over last 100+ years. It's psychotic to point to typical weather and try to make a crisis out of it...mindboggling.
