Oh, Noam.

You and Bill Mayer are the two guys who really epitomize obnoxious Leftist douchebags.

And I say that as an obnoxious leftist.

Bill Maher is so far right I have a hard time understand calling him a leftist.
I'm still looking into it now that you've asked (for it, I mean). But here is what I got so far for about 3 Google AI queries.
I hope you looked those up to verify them. Don't trust anything a LLM spits out as fact. It might be useful to tell you what to look up, but until you can verify those numbers, assume it hallucinated them.

It turns out you don't have to like poor people or minorities to hate Republicans as well as love drugs.

I wouldn't call him right wing or left wing. That would imply he believes in anything at all.

It seems we have an interesting problem. Because i'm obviously on the Right and yet a lot of what Chomsky says makes perfect sense to me. How can you disagree with any of these quotes? https://www.brainyquote.com/lists/autho ... sky-quotes

Has Chom ever actually called himself a Lefty?

That's what I was thinking. https://www.brainyquote.com/lists/autho ... her-quotes

This is the most Right wing Lefty in the world.

I would say he's a small c conservative in the most disdainful manner I could muster. Dude knows he won the game by default and really, really wants to not have to do anything to stay in first place.

None of his political stances are really conservative though. Everything except for religion, cancelling, and establishmentarianism he embraces.

Yeah, the person who says he's leftist most is Bill himself.

Mind you, Bill is like all proper Leftists in that he hates his fellow Leftists almost as much as the conservatives.

Noam Chomsky describes himself as an anarcho-syndicalist and libertarian socialist, and is considered to be a key intellectual figure within the left wing of politics of the United States.

So, yes.
