The line I thought would set you off is how there is no anti-semitism today. Just oppo to the Israelis. And the real racism is against the Muslims

It's so over the top, what is there to say? Sure, buddy, sure, they're torching synagogues in Paris as a measured critique of the Sharon government. And let's not notice who is doing the torching and who is being torched, because that would be racism - a conclusion that the EU-niks in Brussels apparently share, since they tried to suppress their anti-Semitism report.

I mean, there have always been self-hating Jews but Chomsky must really set some kind of record.

His excuse for being so wrong on Afghanistan was a classic

That too, of course.

Just for general interest, here is Chomsky's original interview from October 11th, 2001, the one where he claims that America is "causally" planning a "silent genocide" of 3 or 4 million people in Afghanistan:

and here's an article from Leftwatch by Brian Carnell, who keeps tabs on Chomsky's rolling predictions of genocide - if one doesn't pan out, there's always another candidate available:
