But these events beg the question, are liberals interested in racial harmony or in stoking racial animosity in this country?
And joining me now with analysis is the author of the brand-new book, "Dismantling America," Thomas Sowell is here.
Professor, welcome back. Good to see you.
THOMAS SOWELL, HOOVER INSTITUTION: Good being here.
HANNITY: Well, you have a column out right now, as a matter of fact, headlined "Credit card fraud is a serious problem but race card fraud is even a bigger problem." Tell us the premise of what you're writing here.
SOWELL: Well, I think that the — using the race card has become just sort of standard operating procedure in many cases whether or not there's any substance. One of the more egregious cases was Judge Charles Pickering down in Mississippi who for decades fought for civil rights for blacks, became a hero to the local blacks and defied the Ku Klux Klan, where, you know, it took a lot of guts to do that.
And then when he was up for a judgeship, they immediately started painting him as a racist. They had nothing to go on, but they derailed his nomination. And so this has become one of those things you can just do and get a big payoff.

Which is why I believe that the Sherrod incident has been an orchestrated effort to discredit - and eventually eliminate - Brietbart & Fox News.
“But these events beg the question, are liberals interested in racial harmony or in stoking racial animosity in this country?”
Well-phrased but the reality is, we’ve known the answer for a long time
Bump.
I’m African American!
My ancestors left Africa for America too.....about 80,000 years ago. With a short stopover in Europe.
It’s a twofer. It does that, and it provides cover for the Finance Regulation legislation.
It would never happen, but President Sowell (if given the chance) would lead this country back to Reagan era greatness...
Thanks for the ping jaz.
The answer to that question has been quite obvious for many, many years. Racial harmony has no upside for liberals; racial animosity pays off time after time.
Sowell is a genius. That’s why liberals hate him.
Exactly! They normally just ignore him but he really touched a nerve with his Race Card Fraud column and many libs have gone ballistic. It's great. :)
race card = position has no moral or logical basis
that and he speaks truth, and as an educated black man this cuts the opposition to the quick when dealing with racecard fraud...the evil of communism cannot survive simple truth...
Keep in mind what that video showed, and what it was intended to show. Breitbart posted it after the NAACP publicly called the tea parties racists. The video showed a woman speaking to an NAACP crowd. She told them that she used race to determine who would benefit from her governmental authority.
The audience applauded her.
That’s what that video was meant to show.
