You wouldn't, would you.

I am just going by the ones I know. I have posted about them before. One broke off from the local Nebraska Conservatives club because they weren't "pure" enough from him. He then proclaimed himself to be a Libertarian. He sued the local school board for charging is daughter to go to a Friday night football game. He said "edukation is 'possed to be free". Lucky for conservatives he severed ties with us before he was arrested, convicted, and is now serving time for child pornography. The Libertarians on this board defended him and suggested that he was framed by the Government even though he was turned in by his own family.

Another local guy I did not know personally, but read a lot about him and saw the buildings he bought. He was a slumlord. Every building he owned eventually had to be torn down by the City because he did not spend one single penny for maintenance as long as he owned them. If you have ever owned a house you know that maintenance is NOT optional. Anyway, he ran for governor, senator, representative, city councilman, and (several times) mayor as a Libertarian. Again, Libertarians here defended his use of thugs to break arms and legs in order to collect rent from people in condemned buildings.

One thing I have learned here is no matter how venal a person is or how low his actions, all he has to do is say he is a Libertarian and the Libertarians here will defend him.

Well, *I* wouldn't defend ANY libertarian who does such things. There's twisted, and there's going over the edge.

We're not all freaks. There's enough of those in the major parties to go around. Just look at the drooling masses tagging along behind Kerry, or both of Kucinich's voters.


Or Hillary.

So basically you know one nut Libertarian and know *of* one other. And that qualifies you to basically equate every libertarian with pedophiles.

You are an absolute tool.

I wonder if you use the same stereotyping when it comes to race.

BTW, no one here is defending the guy.

BS.

Although many of us have learned, -- no matter how venal a person is or how low his actions, -- all he has to do is say he is an anti-libertarian and many of the rest of FR's clowns & weirdos will pile on to agree with him.

Works both ways, bozo.
