Not at all. I just despise the use of the appeal to authority unless you back it up with facts. "Noam Chomsky says Obama is a war criminal" holds the same weight as "Some guy says Obama is a war criminal". A person saying something, whether they are a well respected intellectual or not, does not make that something any more true.
Even in the video you posted, the points he brought up were pretty tame.
