An attack. hmmmmm.

Poodles are dogs

There for all dogs are poodles.

Yes! You get it. That is exactly the sort of faulty logic starting with one or two correct facts that I am accusing your pet columnist and, by extension, you of.


I started reading the book Slander by Anne Coulter, but gave up in disgust fairly early on. She says that a typical liberal attack is to call the person on the right a liar or stupid. She then cites a couple of examples but does nothing to show how the person on the right was telling the truth or smarter than he sounded.

[Galadon]

Actually I like reading Ann Coulter. Soon to start "How to talk to a liberal, if you must."

Strange I take the point of Sowells column is a bunch a rich brats make up something and pretend to be FOR THE PEOPLE.

John Kerry is about a perfect example of this. He marries into money but tried to pretend he is just "one of the guys."

[Hussar]

The point of Sowell's column is a blatant attack on Kerry. Any time you compare someone to Bin Laden and Stalin, there's pretty much only one way to take it. There are a million other ways Sowell could have made his point. But, he chose to make an outright assault on Kerry with blatantly biased and outright wrong comparisons. That's why the article gets slammed.

Again, one more time, if you want to be taken seriously and have an intelligent discussion, don't draw from sources like this. Otherwise, it's simply grandstanding and polemics. In other words, I won't quote Michael Moore and other leftist extremists, if you won't try to pass off rightist extremists as moderates.

[ElrosTarMinitarsus]

Um...what he said...  

[Galadon]

This is what I mean by liberal have another form of english they use. But hey, that's life on the left.

Let see I read it as written, lets see

Sowell was talking about the people who vote for Kerry in California. Somehow (of course not to be expected) Sowell was attacking kerry. hmmmmmm.

Oh I see because he made another example later in the column about Marx being a rich brat. The two are only connected by the bizzard idea they are for the poor people.

Hey Hussar care to point out where Stalin was mentioned. Could this be an example of the left add words that was there in the first place.

[Galadon]

THOMAS SOWELLl was born in in North Carlolina and grew up in Harlem. He joined the Marine Corps as a photographer in the Korean War. After leaving the service, Sowell entered Harvard University, worked part-time as a photogpher and studied the science that would become his passion and profession: economics

After graduating magna cum laude from Harvard (1958)

He went to Columbia university: master's degree in economics

University of Chicago to Doctorate in economics

Held jobs as an economist in the department of Labor and AT&T

He went in to teaching at University of Cornell, Ruthgers, Brandeis, and university of California at Los Angeles.

Sowell has publisehed a large volume of books covering, economic theroy judicial activism, civil rights

In 1990, he won the the prestigious Francis Boyer Award, presented by the American Enterprise Insitiute.

Currently Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institute in Standford, California.


(Don't worry Hussar I don't expect you to list anything of what you have done. Just showing the kind of people I get information from.)

My appologies Gal, it had been a while since I read the article. I remembered the communist part and though Stalin, not Marx. My bad.

However, look at his conclusion:

The belief that liberal, left-wing or extremist movements are for the poor may or may not be the biggest fraud but it is certainly the oldest.

Right there, in his own words, he links Kerry with Bin Laden and Marx. Doing that pretty much destroys any credibility he could have had. While I may not like Kerry very much, comparing him to OBL and Marx is simply stupid. Hey, why not compare him to Hitler as well. Since he's being demonized, might as well do a thorough job of it. That's why I say this article has no credibility. His personal credentials are not all that important really. Heck, take a look at Kerry's. I'm sure you'll find that he went to a prestigious uni and won awards. Does that mean that he's now completely credible?

If you want decent, credible works, I suggest you start here which a search engine of scholarly papers published on the net. An excellent resource for much higher quality writing than what you see at blatantly biased websites (doesn't matter which side of the fence, if they're biased, they're not credible.)
