We all do it. Insinuate our pet peeves and politics in everything. Some are better hiding it or don't need to because it is solid argument or scholarship.
The departure from a good discussion is when beliefs (or emotions like a sore azz ;) come into play.
A weak ego simply won't allow some "foreign" material in becuz it's too risky or untenable in some way.

Is it nature or is it nurture?. Is one of those a question someone will risk exploring?.
True, as we saw yesterday from the winning team - a good offense is the best defense.
Or, for the more laziazz types - Fuck you and anyone who looks like you ;).

why do many liberal leaning Americans despise Noam Chomsky. He's such a Humanist or social minded?
ChatGPT
Noam Chomsky, despite his status as a prominent intellectual and activist, is not universally despised among liberal-leaning Americans. However, there are some critiques and disagreements that arise from various quarters, even within liberal circles. Here are a few reasons why some liberal-leaning individuals might not fully support or align with Chomsky:
Foreign Policy Critiques: Chomsky is known for his sharp criticism of US foreign policy, particularly its interventions and actions in various parts of the world. While many liberals also critique aspects of US foreign policy, they may not always agree with Chomsky's assessment or his proposed solutions.
Israel-Palestine Conflict: Chomsky's views on the Israel-Palestine conflict have been controversial and have garnered criticism from both conservative and liberal camps. While he is a staunch critic of Israel's policies towards Palestinians, some liberals may feel that his views are overly one-sided or not fully nuanced.
Style and Rhetoric: Chomsky's writing and speaking style can be complex and uncompromising, which can sometimes alienate or frustrate those who prefer more moderate or diplomatic approaches to advocacy and discourse.
Criticism of Mainstream Media: Chomsky is known for his critique of mainstream media, arguing that it often serves elite interests and perpetuates propaganda. While many liberals agree with some aspects of this critique, others may feel that Chomsky's views on media are overly cynical or dismissive of the important role that journalism plays in society.
Economic Views: Chomsky is a critic of capitalism and advocates for more socialist or anarchist economic systems. While some liberals may share his concerns about income inequality and corporate power, others may be more supportive of regulated capitalism or market-based solutions.
Overall, while Chomsky has a significant following and has influenced many liberal activists and thinkers, his views and style are not universally embraced within liberal circles, leading to some level of disagreement or criticism.
