Black man doesn't like Obama

Thomas Sowell is one of a number of right wingers who don't like Obama. Only Sowell is like a fifth column - he's intellectual, and black! This means even fewer Freepers than usual read the artical before commenting:

Blood of Tyrants pays the ultimate compliment:

Sarah Palin would do well to draw Thomas Sowell into her inner circle of advisers.

left that other site's heart aches

My heart aches for Dr. Thomas Sowell and other educated, dignified, brilliant, ethical, and conservative Black Americans like him.

To see a person like Obama being worshiped as “The First African-American President”, and then being exposed as a total buffoon and liar must be so horrible.

J40000 noticed the title od the article is "'Making history' even if it kills us."

Charles Manson, Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer ALL ‘made history’.

Oh, sorry, left out Gacy...

President obama; congress, you’re in good company when it comes to ‘making’ history. The WRONG KIND OF HISTORY!!!

Arrogant Appleheads...

Obama is an Applehead, and possibly a serial killer.

left that other site has hope:

What a sweeping shame will cover the land when this guy is finally exposed. I mean REALLY exposed. And it WILL happen.

MosesKnows sees Sowell like Buddah or something:

Not everyone can be as informed as Thomas Sowell but each of us can become informed. By doubting Thomas Sowell and then researching the information, you will discover the depth of his wisdom.

If I were a black man, I would be very embarrassed, perhaps even ashamed, at this point in Obama's presidency. Interesting enough there are few blacks who even know Thomas Sowell exist much less how wise he is.
This is like all the comments on the thread. Note that none of them actually deal with the article. To be fair, Sowell is a creature of the current right, so what he is saying is pretty predictable from the title.

  1. Huh,
    TS is a great intellectual with advanced degree in Economics which I think qualifies him to write about current affairs. TS is definitely more qualified and intellectual than the liberal hero, Al Gore. I guess intellectuals are cool, as long as they are liberals. If not, they are not OK.

  2. Oh, even though I disagree with him, I'm sure TS is a smart guy. Certainly more educated than Gore, not that education alone means one is a better authority on something. Though the articles I've read by him do seem pretty fiscal-conservative boilerplate, that may be because he invented the boilerplate.

    But Freepers don't seem to bother actually reading and reacting to his article, they react to his blackness and anti-Obama attitude instead.
