Author Tom Wolfe, dead at 88. - 05/15/18 03:42 PM

A conservative literary giant and provocateur. A modern day Samuel Clemens armed with the ideology of William F. Buckley Jr. He coined the term, "limousine liberal," exposing the embarrassing truth behind the establishment liberal elites, sitting back eating their crab cakes at posh parties.

Just gonna ignore this one? Alternative facts again, KellyAnne? Acid tests

Wolfe rejected conservative labels. In a 2004 interview in The Guardian, he said that his "idol" in writing about society and culture is Emile Zola. Wolfe described him as "a man of the left" -wiki

"Tom Wolfe knew how to navigate the liberal world." I guess he fooled you.

^ I don't see him calling himself a liberal. He was talking about someone else.

Mocking liberals does not make you a conservative, and vice versa. You need to broaden your bifurcated mind

He also called Trump a, "lovable megalomaniac."

and,

In 2004, Wolfe told The Guardian that he "would vote for [George W.] Bush if for no other reason than to be at the airport waving off all the people who say they are going to London if he wins again. Someone has got to stay behind."

You should just accept that he was generally considered to be a Conservative. Sorry. Please buy his books here: https://www.conservativebookclub.com/profile/tom-wolfe

They don't exactly seem to hate one other:



Ohhh, what I'd give to have a sneering, hyper-intellectual Conservative voice like William F Buckley Jr. around these days.

He wore it because if he tried to fit in people would make him as a fraud. In this way people would open up to him. Be boldly true to yourself, especially if you are a Southern faggot.

My two most favorite and special authors Hunter S. Thompson and Tom Wolfe are now gone. A moment of silence for the culture they perpetuated and for the dream that died with that mother fucking cock sucking, Roy Cohn cocaine felching, orange bastard Donald Trump. Yeah you know he sucked something in at studio 54 back in the day, mother fucking degenerate. Too bad he didn't get a lethal dose of AIDS, he deserved it, the sick pederast and rapey fuck. fingered

Buckley was an idiot and shown to be in his dealings with Chomsky and gore Vidal but in a day and age when people like Ben Shapiro Sam Harris Stefan molyneux ayn rand and Jordan Peterson are considered intellectuals by the right I guess I will have to throw you a bone.

Until he passed away, I was only familiar with the movie and didn't even know it was based on a book he had written. I absolutely LOVE that movie.

My dad actually guarded "our" German when he was in the Air Force, and and I used to have his autograph on Elmandorf AFB letterhead from when he did. One of the many things my Ex stole.

There's still Gay Talese but he sort of slid into obscurity.
