care to give three examples?

Well, three pop easily to mind, in no particular order

- Attributing every kind of economic ills to the evils of corporatism, to an ideological extreme.
- Being an apologist for dictators (as long as they oppose the US). Hugo Chavez for instance.
- Minimizing or denying massacres around the world, as long as they aren't imperialist in nature. the khmer rouge massacres for instance.

But all in all, I admit was too hard on Chomsky. Netted out he may be right more than wrong and he is a cogent critic. But he's blinded by an academic and ideological mindset imo.
