It's also a classic straw man. "I'll decide what issues should be
fundamental to 'your field', so I can criticize you when you don't address
them."

Well, there are plenty (a substantive majority, even) who are free
marketers
and have no quarrel with Friedman. The head of Obama's economic team is
from
U of Chicago.
That said, there are indeed those who exist on the political fringe that
have no idea how intertwined human behavior is with economic needs, and
are
thus doomed to criticze men like Friedman ad infinitum (and for the rest
of
us, ad nauseum) based on some Cliff Notes they read about him on some
fringe
socialist/communist/anarchist site.
