His name is Noam Chomsky. Do a Yahoo! search with that name and you will get all kinds of hits.
He is a college professor and a writer. I think he is an extreme left wing liberal loony.

Here is the guy :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Noam_Chomsky
American linguist, philosopher, political activist, author, and lecturer. He is an Institute Professor and professor emeritus of linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Beginning with his critique of the Vietnam War in the 1960s, Chomsky has become more widely known — especially internationally — for his media criticism and politics. He is generally considered to be a key intellectual figure within the left wing of United States politics. Chomsky is widely known for his political activism, and for his criticism of the foreign policy of the United States and other governments.
Since Chomsky's 9-11 became a bestseller in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, Chomsky has attracted more attention from the mainstream American media. For example, The New York Times published an article in May 2002 describing the popularity of 9-11 [36].
Chomsky is widely read outside the US. 9-11 was published in 26 countries and translated into 23 foreign languages [43]; it was a bestseller in at least five countries, including Canada and Japan [44]. Chomsky's views are often given coverage on public broadcasting networks around the world- a fact supporters say is in marked contrast to his rare appearances in the US media. In the UK, for example, he appears periodically on the BBC

He's a jerk at MIT who told me I had to choose between Hegemony or Survival. I will not choose, nor will I forgive him for trying to force a false choice.

Chomsky is a guy who has an amazing ability; no matter where he travels, he's always able to find Muslims who hate America.
Self-hatred and transformative grammar comprise his philosophy.
