Libertarian Org on ‘American Sniper': No Difference Between Chris Kyle, Adam Lanza
breitbart.com ^ | 1/29/2015 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 01/30/2015 9:32:56 AM PST by rktman

On January 28, The Future of Freedom Foundation (FFF) vice president, Sheldon Richman, reacted to American Sniper by writing that Chris Kyle “was no hero” and that he really couldn’t see a difference between Kyle’s actions and those of Adam Lanza.

Richman, who is also the editor of FFS’s monthly journal Future of Freedom, wrote, “Despite what some people think, hero is not a synonym for competent government-hired killer.”

Well, one major difference is Chris Kyle actually shot someone.

Cue the facepalm guy and the "more of the same old s**t" comment...

Just another lunatic comments form the liberatarians and do these people ever think about his wife and kids who have to hear and endure this abuse.

Problem with liberaltarians is that infest our party, nomination process, conventions and websites spewing their anarchist talk instead of just trying to get their own party off the ground.

I would guess about 75% of the libertarian base consists of kids in 420 t-shirts yelling “legalize it”

More proof that the Marxist Left and the Libertarians are better allies than Libertarians and Conservatives are.

OK. Let’s start a list:

Reasons why Kyle is different than Lanza:

Kyle is better shot.
Kyle is mission oriented and obeys laws and orders.
Kyle’s mission was at the behest of the American people.
Kyle takes a better picture.
Kyle is not certifiable.
If Kyle sniped you, you likely would not catch him or know where the shot came from.
Kyle had his own weapon.

Exactly right, but for me it’s just another reason to never support them on top of their drug, borders, foreign policy , immigration, homosexuality, cross dressing etc.

What Sheldon Richman is saying is that he does not understand the difference between an al-Qaeda mujaheddin and a Connecticut first grader.

Ah, libertarians. In the country of the stupid, even a moron like Ron Paul can be a king.

This kind of $”!+ is why I can’t take Libertarians seriously. Some of them make Leftists seem almost reasonable.

LOL yes but libertarians also like to shout get Govt out of the way.
Sounds good until you question them on borders, immigration, homosexuality, drugs, foreign policy etc

There are still a handful of them on here trolling sites like these. Maybe one day they can go and join their own party.

My initial reaction to a statement like this is anger, but then it turns to happiness because I realize that a liberal idiot has just neutered himself and his organization. From this point forward any time anyone anywhere wants to completely discredit anything these idiots have to say... all they have to do is quote them. “Aren’t you a member of the group that said they couldn’t see a difference between the Hero portrayed in American Sniper and the psycho that killed a bunch of kids at an elementary school?”

No matter how much they back pedal after that... everyone who is not a complete liberal moron will tune out just about everything else that they have to say.

Bad title, this guy is associated with some foundation, not the chairman of the Libertarian Party or even a spokesperson.

Almost. Nah, they’re still unreasonable. I’ve found that trying to engage them in some sort of controlled reasonable dialog is impossible and I’d prefer to use my breath to help keep the erf warming. :>}

I just ignore them now as they are not worth my time after I had one on here saying there should be no laws for a man to have sex with his 13 year old daughter.

Now when I hear them shout their slogans like No Govt I just think of that troll.

Did Jesse Ventura get a big settlement from Kyle’s wife?

Bingo. Don’t attack the whacked out liberals, use those words against all the other liberals. Make them discredit the insane under their banner. Make them eat their own, like liberals are constantly doing to us.

You can not argue with anyone that refuses to think.

He knows purposefully well what the difference is, he only wants to muddy the waters for those that are too ignorant to know the difference.

Shame on him

Has Rand Paul chimed in on this?
