And so what if he hasn't? Surely if you can pass judgment on Ayn Rand's works, comparing them to Mein Kampf of all things(!), without reading so much as a single syllable, then he can certainly pass judgment on this article without having bothered to have read any of it.

This is as far as I read:

she is the patron saint of the tea-partiers and the death panel doomsters

pretty much explains the gist of the article and all the Ayn Rand bashing thats been going on lately.

“Rand was broken by the Bolsheviks as a girl, and she never left their bootprint behind. She believed her philosophy was Bolshevism’s opposite, when in reality it was its twin. Both she and the Soviets insisted a small revolutionary elite in possession of absolute rationality must seize power and impose its vision on a malleable, imbecilic mass. The only difference was that Lenin thought the parasites to be stomped on were the rich, while Rand thought they were the poor.”

The substance of the article.
