[bbernardini]

Tries to equate it with affirmative action:

1. I believe in affirmative action too, however the two have diddly to do with each other

Thomas Sowell is an idiot. I've read other stuff by him.

[marmar]

2. He always has been and always will be a jackass.

n/t

8. Yup, yup!

[QC]

3. Good. That means I don't have to approve of Thomas Sowell,

whom I consider a third rate intellect and a shill for the corporate elite.

[HamdenRice]

4. And of course, Thomas Sowell represents the Black community, right?

And the civil rights establishment, just like Justice Thomas.

:sarcasm:

[gollygee]

9. Yes, just as Sarah Palin represents women n/t

12. Your chip. Your shoulder. NT

14. Good thing nobody said that, because it would be really, really dumb. n/t

5. This guy is living proof that educated does not equal intelligent.

"While people may be treated the same, all their behaviors are not. Laws that forbid bicycles from being ridden on freeways obviously have a different effect on people who have bicycles but no cars."

Thankfully he is old. This brand of "thinking" will be dead soon.

13. His bikes and cars analogy. What as asshole. Any person can ride a bike, and any a car.

If he were limited to riding only a bike, he might understand.

[Starry Messenger]

19. Rush Limbaugh is a fan of this guy.

These types will never understand. They are blithering idiots who dress their bullshit up in fancy words.

[Donnachaidh]

6. oh goody - another shill for fascism weighs in on the subject

Sowell is, or should be as irrelevant as Faux News and Bill O'Loofah.

[tularetom]

7. I thought Mr Sowell was an advocate of the government leaving people the fuck alone

I guess that only applies to wealthy people.

[Happyhippychick]

10. Thomas Sowell = enormous tool

[mondo joe]

11. Another advocate for bigotry. He ought to read the Loving v Virginia case.

So should a lot of others people.

[JI7]

15. NO marriages need approval by others

unless it involves minors and they need parents consent.

[bluedawg12]

16. Gays will work towards equal rights

through the Courts. Let the rest of the people live with their conscience, we aren't begging for anyones respect.

[bbernardini]

17. The comments already have one person equating homosexuality with incest and pedophilia.

Mr. Santorum, is that you? :)

[QC]

18. Anything about marrying box turtles yet? n/t

[Orsino]

20. Wake me when he offers his own marriage up for a vote.

Until then, he's just tap-dancing, clumsily, around his bigotry.
