is it just me or does Larry Elder SUCK?
Wtf is with this guy? My conservative rag of a local newspaper runs his column all the time. As far as I can tell, he uses the same two talking-points over and over:
-Things arent bad. It's just liberal spin because a Republican is in the White House.
-Blacks are too stupid to vote correctly. By correctly I mean Republican.

If he could make a valid point without just speculation, or deviate slightly from the party line JUST ONCE, I wouldn't mind him so much. I really welcome meaningful dialogue and opposing viewpoints. However, he's not really capable of that.
I'm sick of this Uncle Tom ruining my mornings.

4. the sooner he goes the way of armstrong williams....
the better. he calls himself a "libertarian", but each time i've had the misfortune to listen to him, his criticisms are always directed at dems or "liberals" as he calls us. elder is nothing more than an opportunist who probably makes a ton of money from conservative groups to take pokes at the institutions (especially black institutions)that have tried to guard civil liberties for everyone.

btw, where is armstrong williams these days?

6. Definitely on to something here...
I've been subjected to this talentless waste of protoplasm for too many years to remember. His shows have never been popular. Every new time slot his gets has seen ratings decline. His TV show follows the same pattern, yet he continues to pollute the airwaves. He is a corporate product that will be forced on us until we accept him.

5. He sucks big time. Claimed to be a Libertarian, then thought he
might run for office, so changed to repug. He's phony.

8. It's not you
Elder is one of the lawn jockeys the RW trot out when they're catching heat on racial issues or need a black face to blame "those people" for dragging down the rest of society.
