Warning: Hillary Clinton’s world view may have been affected by Noam Chomsky!
I heard this on the local fox news channel in Phoenix last night. Fox News reporter Ron Hoon, in a sense that might make people concerned, reported that, “Hillary Clinton is known to have met with well known liberal extremist Noam Chomsky”… OMG! The short conversation went along with out giving any specific date of this alleged and infamous encounter with the “well known liberal extremist” , but finished with how she grew up with the anti war protesting, pot smoking, hippy sixty’s generation. And I’m not to sure, (as my hair was standing strait up from how this revelation was presented), but he said something too the effect, “that maybe we shouldn’t be too concerned, because that was however, the way people acted in those days”. Unless of course you were a god fearing Republican. They also mentioned that, “she had met with civil rights leader Martin Luther King”, I guess to make things fair and balanced, hmm..?

OK, believe I am not in any way a fox news fan, in fact I could loath nothing worse than fox news, except of course the BFEE… But my life long diehard Democratic wife that votes Democrat no matter what, is a fox news fan, therefore I am condemned to suffer and listen to the total bullshit they spew too their clueless base. The point is, how many Conservative Republicans know who, or have ever heard of the “LIBERAL EXTREMIST” Noam Chomsky?

I could be wrong, but this seems to me as subtle political propaganda. A second point: From the perspective of the mis / uninformed and propagandized conservative base. Oh My God, the LIBERAL EXTREMIST NOAM CHOMSKY…” Honey, who’s Noam Chomsky? Well I don’t know dear… they said, “He was a OMG, A LIBERAL EXTREMIST..!” Oh dear, isn’t that like a communist? Sure sounds like it honey! So Hillary Clinton has been consorting with commy fascist liberal extremist? Yup that’s what it sounds like to me. , we better get out and support our favorite warmongering Christian Republican candidates that will save us from those RADICAL EXTREMIST Evil Muslims… God save us all, if someone the likes of Hillary wins the election, they might try and stop the war!

Ok back in my world, the object of this post is not about Hillary or Noam Chomsky, its about the subtle political propaganda, brain washing and mind manipulating implants that the right wing mainstream media is doing to those who are the least informed about anything i.e. the right wing base, and yes, people like my diehard Democrat wife... I see an effort to totally subjugate liberal philosophy by putting ideas in people’s minds in a subtle way that would discourage people from listening to Democratic and Liberal points of view… Along with censoring and distorting the truth about what is really going on in the world of which I won’t go into. Just thought I would put this out there and see if anyone else notices how bad the deception is and how it is being played...

1. Why is that a warning, I'm glad some of our politicians are listening
...to the country's best and brightest! It sure beats listening to right-wing pundits like Limbaugh, Hannity, Weiner, O'Lielly and that other jerk on MSNBC....ah....the guy who is the alcoholic

7. Why the Warning? The context in which it was presented on the local fox news cannel had the effect
of making the uniformed viewer leery, (hence the Warning) of Hillary, and liberals. In other words they were trying to pin the words liberal extremist on Hillary in addition to putting her in the group of anti war protesting, pot smoking, hippy sixty’s generation.

And I to wish more of our politicians would listen to people like Noam Chomsky.

11. I know she is not a fellow liberal unfortunately. But as I said in my OP:

4. Why do you have two posts going? I would vote for Hillary if she did support Chomsky.
But She is as far away from Norm politically possibly and closer to Newt.

5. I think it’s good that Hillary listens to Chomsky and believe that’s a plus.
As far as the two posts going, How embarrassing… Ok what happened is that when I did the original post I had clicked “Update the journal”. When I posted I received an error about the journal, so I looked at the board and wasn’t there so I did it again and still the same problem. So the third time I didn’t update the journal and I finally saw it on the board. And I can’t delete the oops dupes. Maybe the moderator will do it. Sorry!

14. You’re absolutely correct, I wish her world view was in line with Chomsky,
but the point I was trying to make is not what her world view is. It’s the mind and distortion of facts games that the media is playing. And I think it inappropriate for the media to associate her with something she is not, because it will affect people’s world view that don’t have a clue about what a world view is. The OP is about the media game of manipulating facts for political gain, not Hillary, or Chomsky.
