Professor Sowell, you need to stick to economics, because you don't know squat about much else. The Gop's problem is not their messengers. It's their message. You yourself are Exhibit A. You're so articulate that I often find you persuasive. AND I'M A CIVIL RIGHTS LAWYER. You're not unusual. Before you, there was Bob Taft, Barry Goldwater, John Tower, Howard Baker, For company today, you and Michael Steele have Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Charles Krauthammer, Bill Kristol, John Cornyn, Lindsay Graham -- shall I go on? All of you are rejected, because your message of Social Darwinism falls flat when hard times make people realize how low most of us are in the food chain. Back in the good old days of what looked like a"Permanent Republican Majority," hucksters like you could convince Joe-the-Plumber types to stay the GOP course, and someday their ships would all come in. Now, it's like riding in the back of a pickup to preach survival of the fittest who feed on the weak and the infirm. There's no way to look good doing it. There's nothing less convincing than a sellout, and that's what you are, Professor.

Mike Milligan, civil rights atty?! You are nothing but a hate merchant, a race pimp. You live off of LIES! Why don't you go to Cuba and be a C R Atty, how 'bout India or Pakistan. What are you doing here you buffoon? In a mere couple weeks Obama has wiped out the middle class in this country! We now have the elite, then the rest of us fools, some powerless to get out of their situation and earn what they deserve, not what Obama wants them to have. You incompetents are about to learn what the USSR learned the hard way..everyone can not work for the government! DUH! You unmitigated fool, someone has to work in the private sector so the government can come in and steal their money and call it "taxes"! An idiot like you could not even carry Mr Sowell's brief case, much less debate with him. I am a caucasian, 62 yr old Vietnam vet, and I thank God for Americans like Thomas Sowell! You Mr Milligan are nothing but a European socialist pig. Please move to Europe and lets see how long you last!
