There is no 'in the system' here

Yes there is, silly. You thought it was ironic that the Libertarian took something to court. You (being naive or ignorant) think that that fact makes it ironic.

It turns out that Libertarians believe in working within the system (the system being the legislature, courts, etc.) and this stoy is an example of working within the system.

The fact that they are taking it to the courts underscores the fact that they are working within the system.

But if you mean that Big L libertarians agree with smoking bans and martha burke's attempt to force augusta CC to accept women, then yes, this is right along those same lines.

I don't know what you are smoking, but I suggest you give it up, at least until it is decriminalized by someone (not Freepers, nor me, maybe libertarians)...

Bzzzt. Sorry, wrong answer. Read my posts and don't try to put words into my mouth.

Here it is again in case you forgot it:

"Ironic that a libertarian is trying to use the government to force his way into a privately funded event."

I found it ironic (and it is,btw,if you understand what irony is) that the limited government, respect the constitution Libertarians are using the government to force their way into a private event. Not that they are using the court system. You're the one who made that grand leap. So don't give me credit for you delusions. I don't want it.

Now, if they were just trying to get the event cancelled because they might be using public funds to pay for a private event, that would be one thing. But as the article states, and as bednarik's website states (do a little reading if you haven't) that they'd be more than happy to overlook the violation of the AZ law if only bednarik be allowed to debate.

So their stated principle (no public funds for private event) is little more than a wedge to get bednarik into the debate. He's against government funding a private event, but if he gets into the same publicly funded event, it's A-OK with him. Quite principled, eh??

"I don't know what you are smoking, but I suggest you give it up, at least until it is decriminalized by someone (not Freepers, nor me, maybe libertarians)..."

Wow, clever... it almost makes up for your tenuous grasp of logic and willingness to put words in my mouth in order to win points.

Almost.

The LP sued to correct a perceived future wrong. The fact that he will be wronged is not even certain. The fact that he has been wronged is false. He may be wronged in the future (according to his filings) but then, again, he may not be wronged.
