Why Do Some People Hate Noam Chomsky? 

Most people who hate Chomsky are crazy right-wingers who hate him because he has an excellent critique of US foreign policy. They can't refute his critique so they make up all sorts of bullshit about him (he supported Pol Pot, he's a holocaust denier, etc.)

Most anarchists, including myself, have a major disagreement with him over his support for the welfare state. Basically he thinks anarchist revolution isn't going to happen for a very, very long time and so he says we should basically act like social democrats for the forseable future. Chomsky is an anarchist, but a hypocritical one who denies the radical implications of his own work.
