For all I know, the list belongs to Chomsky's flip side who is as much, or more, of a whack job as he appears. Maybe it's a he said/she said kinda' deal. Many major universities retain professors who deal with very controversial material. It wouldn't be all that hard to take statements out of context and end up distorting the meaning enough to use for character assassination. However, it's a long list, and it's hard to imagine some of the statements Chomsky is alledged to have made would resonate with most people even in context. And as Chuck points out, tenure is just that, tenure. It would take more than outragous statements to get a tenured prof canned.
