Interestingly, on the other foot, for political "L"ibertarians, there are few Republican politicians more disliked that Sarah Palin. Lew Rockwell said she should be their #1 enemy. It really does show the divide between libertarian intellectuals and the Libertarian Party.
Lew Rockwell is one of the most unpleasant people I ever met. Don't hold him up as representative of the LP. He has an farcical reputation as an intellectual and consistently gave bad advice when I knew of him. He ranks with "Typhoid Murray" Rothbard, IMO.
