That’s too bad.
We can criticize without hate-filled personal attacks,some of which are distortions or blatant lies. And we do need to attack the left more.
There's a tendency in libertarians who've studied long and think they've "worked it all out" to present their opinions in abrasive, unpleasant ways.
A classic example is Murray Rothbard, who was known as "Typhoid Murray" for the effect he had on some libertarian gatherings.
Another would be Lew Rockwell, one of the most unpleasant folks I've ever met in person.
A gentler example was a fella I knew who'd always chime in "You mean at no extra charge" when I'd say something was "free". He was right, of course, but that didn't always make the correction palatable.
As for anti-social, you need to attend a few libertarian parties. That part I never had a problem with.
I think we should direct any and all venom filled attacks to the following individuals:
Barack Hussein Obama
Keith Olbermann
Keith Olbermann (He derserves double the ire.)
Myth Romney
Keith Olbermann (Okay, triple the ire.)
Rachel Maddcow
Al Snore
Princess Nancy, Ruler of the People’s Republic of Pelosi
Orrin Hatch The Plot
Lindsey Grahamnesty
Olympia SnoweJob
John McPain
Keith Olbermann
Oh yeah, in case I forgot: Keith Olbermann
Harry Potter Reid (We must be careful. Harry has the magical power to make the polling machines say: Harry Reid.)
All things considered, call me a Pollyanna if you wish, but I don’t think we should be attacking our fellow Conservatives.
