I think he misunderstands libertarians. They have a live and let live philosophy, but they also are strong advocates of protecting your family and your property. (not to mention gun ownership).

Scenario one - Liberal hears cry for help coming from daughter's bedroom and walks in on intruder. Liberal response - appeal to reason and plead with intruder not to hurt anyone.

Scenario two - Libertarian hears cry for help cominging from daughter's bedroom and walks in on intruder. Libertarian response - double tap, and maybe a couple more if the corpse is still twitching.

Granted there is a much more morally ambiguous case that made the news here a few months ago. 13 year old girl got (communication via internet) a 22 year old guy to sneak into her bedroom for sex while parents were home. Parents discovered this (what a surprise - some people are too dumb to do anything but dig ditches) Cops came and arrested 22 year old who was charged with child molestation. The DA told the media that it was pretty obvious that the girl was an active and willing participant in the whole thing and in fact it was her idea, and he regretted that he couldn't charge her with anything.

You think wrong. He doesn't misunderstand. He intentionally distorts to make sure that no Libertarians want to be around FR or Republicans in general, in an attempt to drive out that wing of the big tent. He wants to see his buddies at DU happy.

Nothing wrong with that, as long as he actually admits he's a DemocRAT, but he'd be the first to whine about Libertarians 'costing Republicans elections,' too, and pretends he's actually a Republican supporter. Hypocrisy at its finest.
