Well, there certainly was a difference of opinion following Thomas Sowell’s appearance on “Hannity” Monday night. No, it’s not worth killing each other over, but it does point out a dramatic rift in the Republican Party. As Sowell wrote in an op-ed Sunday:
The Republican establishment’s criticisms of Sen. Cruz are criticisms of his rule-or-ruin strategy, which can destroy whatever chance Republicans have of taking back the Senate in 2014 and taking back the White House in 2016. And, without political power, there is no real hope of changing things in Washington.
…
The Republicans need every vote they can get in the Senate — plus additional votes by defeating some Democrats who are running for the Senate this fall. It can be a very close call. Jeopardizing the reelection of current Republican Senators is an act of utter irresponsibility, a high risk with zero benefits to anyone except Ted Cruz — and the Democrats.
Does Cruz need to continue taking the fight to the Obama administration, or does he need to learn to pick his battles?
Tonight I do not agree with Sowell. #Hannity

Dr. Sowell is missing the point that at some point, the GOP has to fight. They never fight the Democrats. #hannity

With all do respect Mr. Sowell, we've not seen one fight coming from Republicans. NOT ONE! Only conservatives. #Hannity

@Bidenshairplugs @MitchBehna I don't think Mr Sowell realizes it's not just about repubs winning anymore, its conservs. winning.

@seanhannity I agree that Thomas Sowell is too old to know what it is to fight in a political war!

Amen MT @ElishaNEWS Hey Thomas Sowell, THE REPUBLICANS controlled the HOUSE, the PURSE and they keep writing hot checks to Obama! C’Mon!

@jjauthor I'm rethinking my feelings about Mr. Sowell. His message isn't clear to me at all right now.

As much as I love 'economist' Thomas Sowell, I completely disagree with his lead from behind "establishment" approach! Why we lose! #hannity

Sowell is wrong this time. RT @TheFriddle: Rush is right. @SenTedCruz is fighting for the soul of our country. #IStandWithCruz #Hannity
— Jack in the East (@talkradio200) February 25, 2014
@talkradio200 @SenTedCruz yup, usually agree with Sowell. Not this time.
— Krystal Heath (@TheFriddle) February 25, 2014
Not everyone disagreed with Sowell, however.
Thos. Sowell is right — GOP has to pick their battles. We need to be in a position of strength – starting with winning back the Senate!

I thot Sowell explained it to him pretty clearly; you don't fight battles you cannot win. Still, Hannity, thickhead that he is, is "pissed..
