Cornel West: The right's favorite black guy to use to attack Pres. Obama.

[Drunken Irishman]

Keep up the hard work, Prof. West!

1. Cornel West, the Obama critic that gets Fox to defend Obama

There’s a place for activists who push Democratic presidents from the left or Republican presidents from the right. But West’s words are so harsh that he seems more interested in denigrating than influencing.

3. Yes and, .. "His latest rant got a feature page on InfoWars"

via William Kristol's Weekly Standard:

Breitbart gave it a platform, too:

"They especially like the "brown-faced Clinton" quote, which both use as a subhead. I'd say that perfectly illustrates why it's wrong for West to use racialized discourse to criticize Obama: it give license to wingnuts to use the same kind of language, and it doesn't take a PhD to figure that out."

bolding mine..

9. West feels betrayed by Obama.

I went through that. I now see Obama's character and what he brings to the nation in a more positive light.

I still appreciate West's honesty and his values including his dedication to justice.

4. Professor West irritates me to no end!

I'm not against people criticizing this president. Indeed, it keeps our minds healthy. But Professor West goes overboard with pure hatred and beyond constructive criticism of this president, and his vitriol is just something that I just can't understand nor approve.

5. Look, you may have problems with West

but he is no right-winger.

6. I hope he does keep it up

The Obama presidency has been center-right and deserves no defense simply for being "better than what Republicans would have done".

Hillary supporters should hate Dr. West because he speaks out against all the right-wing policies that Obama and Hillary support.

7. Of course!

There can be no other explanation for West's actions. And Ann Coulter attended Cornell... 'nuff said.

8. K&R.

I used to listen to Cornel West's radio appearances on KPFK. He is a great, passionate proponent for justice. I don't always agree with his every stance or word, but I respect him so much.

So compassionate and so understanding.
