I've always accepted my 'thought heroes' might be wrong sometimes

But Chomsky really isn't THAT dumb.

You would have to wilfully reject his approach to issues, OR have a simplistic view that his critique method has only limited application,

either to think that he would come out with this kind of analysis,

or to be offended that his analytical technique is capable of being satirised.

WS Churchill was an awful man from many view points, and publicly, eg. that siege before WW1. BUT he got Hitler dead to rights, which is enough for me. He is satirisable, and the Goon Show esp. Peter Selers were regularly admonished for it. Their satire and mimicry was cruel but fair, IMO, YMMV.
