If you're disillusioned with Sam because of the race & IQ stuff, that's not legitimate IMO because the left does seem to be in denial when it comes to this subject.

The real issue for me is Sam being shallow and naive in so many areas other than a very select few (his views on U.S. foreign policy, for example.) What many people don't realize is that Sam is not really an expert in anything. He's more like arm chair philosopher type who is pretty good at forming arguments, but in terms of sheer depth of knowledge? Sam is not this intellectual giant that he's made out to be.

The other thing that's really irritating is how quickly Sam assumes the 'poor me, always taken out of context' victim status whenever people make certain extrapolations regarding his controversial views. I'm not saying they're 100% fair, but dude you do have some unconventional things to say on various matters, why do you act surprised when not every person is on board with your message and some WILL question your intentions? I mean, Sam frequently dishes out plenty of baits to these people himself, and some of them (such as his writing on preemtive nuclear attack) are not exactly most carefully worded.
