Noam Chomsky
Ann Coulter
reza aslan (no god but god)
Watch:
Bill Maher talks
Maher isn't really that interesting.
you might want to too, they are interesting. And I know Ann Coulter is apparently the she devil, but I would rather read her books and see what she is actually trying to say.

I've seen a lot of clips of her and it seems like her books are exploding with sensationalism and bigotry, so it might be hard to get through.
add finklestein to your list!
homeboiiii.
I read an article on a man who does linguistic work in the Amazon with native tribes, and he spoke about how Chomsky is doing everything in his power to prevent the work he is doing from continuing, because he doesn't like what the guy is saying.
Most of linguistics today is based on ideas of Chomsky, and the work of the man whose name I have forgotten undermines Chomksy's work.
yeah, I remember you telling me about this 'anonymous', but I am still interested in his ideas. I have a book by him on the middle east crisis, it was my sisters textbook and has just been sitting in my room for ages. I think I might finally start reading it.
I second the finklestein recommendation (party 'cause it's been on my to-read list and maybe we can read his stuff together and be bffls y/n?)
lol @ coulter
and if you're reading ann coulter, might as well read the likes of tarek fatah and irshad manji..?
I shall add Frankenstein, I think he is cool.
maybe i will get to fatah and manji, although I think I have heard them enough. I just think no matter how preposterous the opposition is you should be aware of it, in order to better argue it. But really I just want to read Coulter because I think it would be entertaining.
Having said that I think Sam Harris is worth looking up. Because, he speaks against religion and the conflicts that arise because of it, but he speaks of it rationally. And even if i completely disagree, he at least tries to use reason rather than propaganda and out of context evidence like Bill Maher, and Hitchens and such. But maybe I should read them too, because I base my opinion, of at least Hitchens, on just his talk show appearances.
