You're trying to smear Said as somehow being a Marxist? He avowedly was not. Edward Said is very commonly assigned to even undergrads in many disciplines in the humanities. He was also extremely active in the anti-war movement in 2003 and his activist activity would sometimes appear on C-SPAN in that time period. It's like pretending people haven't heard of Chomsky or Foucault or Bertrand Russell -- these are very close to being household names even among the general American public (maybe depending on the demographics). I have no idea about your frame of reference regarding what thinkers you consider to be obscure or why, but the fact that you imagine Said as an obscure figure is very strange.
