“Sowell cannot be “bought off.” He’s richer than most in the GOP, has a reputation for NOT hanging out with any of these types, and I think it’s an unfair slur on the man to suggest as much...”

You need to understand that some folks can be “bought off” by things other than money. Anyhow, you can have your opinions and I can have mine. I ALWAYS get suspicious when the mainstream media and the GOPe are having a “campaign” against an individual or a group (such as the Tea Party) and someone who is NOT a usual suspect suddenly steps up, joins the firing line and starts blasting away.
Being skeptical is good, but casting aspersions on the character of someone like Thomas Sowell, who was fighting conservatism’s battles when you (likely) were a toddler is something quite different.
