Can Noam Chomsky be considered Anti-American?

Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject American Studies - Literature grade: 23 LMU Munich (American Literature) course: Anti-Americanism language: English abstract: Noam Chomsky is not only considered the father of modern linguistics and recipient of world's top public intellectual award in 2005 he is also a radical political activist. His radical left-wing and partially anarchist's views on current as well as past political/foreign affairs do not make him very popular in parts of American society. Even other American critics like Emmnuel Todd refer to him as anti-American. His views on Vietnam War South American affairs and opinion of mass media have imparted him the title Anti-American.The central question this paper deals with is: Whether Noam Chomsky is anti-American or just a political activist attempting to make the American people become aware of unnecessary political actions their government takes?
