Sowell is positively disposed toward Giuliani. Sowell is a treasonous liberal.

My vote for the most idiotic statement of the year.

Sowell is a treasonous liberal.

This is not going to be an easy sentence to convince people of.

Sowell is, in my opinion, one of the smartest, most insightful and broadest thinking Americans to come along in the last 200 years. His book "Knowledge and Decisions" contains so much highly condensed wisdom that most of the people who have read it still don't appreciate how far ahead if it's time it really is. It's a work that will continue to be appreciated and to add substantive value to economic and political discourse well into the next century. In the information era (which is really still just beginning) it will be viewed as a work as important as "The Wealth of Nations."... in my personal opinion, maybe even more so.

The man has a 40+ year career of telling the truth to communities so filled with bias that they summarily reject him out of hand. His perspective and views are as well documented (and for that matter consistent) as any man alive, and you suppose to accuse him of treason because he didn't say anything bad about Rudy Giuliani? (He didn't officially even say he supported him, only his tactic of fighting back)

You had better a be a bit less "knee jerk" where Dr. Sowell is concerned. It's tough to find a conservative voice who has more credibility, and by attacking him that way you've lowered your own.

I see my sarcasm detector is on the fritz as well. Forgive my "knee jerk" defense, but Sowell and his work have had a very direct impact on my work and my career, so I'm a little sensitive. Too much so I suppose.

Apologies.
