How funny that a leftwing moonbat like Chomsky would bitch about Obama when their philosophy is so similar.
It’s probably just a little spat between kindred spirits.
From The Daily Caller.
Progressive hero Noam Chomsky is terrified of the surveillance state that has developed during the tenure of Barack Obama, calling it a grave threat to our fundamental civil liberties.
In a column published Monday, Chomsky writes that the documents revealed to the public by Edward Snowden show a system that is flagrantly violating the principles of the Constitution.
“It is of no slight import that the project is being executed in one of the freest countries in the world, and in radical violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights, which protects citizens from ‘unreasonable searches and seizures,’ and guarantees the privacy of their persons, houses, papers and effects,” Chomsky said.
……The scope and depth of the National Security Agency’s surveillance program is what particularly troubles the retired MIT professor and leads him to conclude that our current president is set on undermining the foundations of our society.
“The documents unveil a remarkable project to expose to state scrutiny vital information about every person who falls within the grasp of the colossus — in principle, every person linked to the modern electronic society,” Chomsky wrote. “As the colossus fulfills its visions, in principle every keystroke might be sent to Obama’s huge and expanding databases in Utah.”
“In other ways too, the constitutional lawyer in the White House seems determined to demolish the foundations of our civil liberties. The principle of the presumption of innocence, which dates back to Magna Carta 800 years ago, has long been dismissed to oblivion.”
Chomsky is a little late with the criticism. The “constitutional lawyer” in the White House has been shredding the document and breaking the law for the last five years. The NSA scandal has Chomsky’s panties in a wad, but he never mentions the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups, the DOJ hacking into reporters’ emails and phones, the Benghazi failure, the support of muslim terrorist facilitators, or the exchange of 5 Taliban thugs for a deserter.
Pretty selective outrage, Noam.
