I asked about "hired columnists", not "crackpots".

And I am going to move off of that "hired columnist" contention, I confused this author with another, sorry. Looks like he is just a "crackpot". Here is a list of LewRockwell's columnists. Columnists and Commentators

"Looks like he is just a "crackpot".

So, LewRockwell.com allows articles from "crackpots" to get published?

If they hire columnists, then I assume they are a news organization. Since they state they are "anti-statist" I also assume they are not just another liberal rag, but are right wing.

So explain to me, why would a right wing Internet News site allow bogus stories from "crackpots" to get published?

Again, wouldn't you think they would be concerned about their future credibility when this crackpot is eventually shot down?

Seems to me LewRockwell.com is commercial and depends on advertizers. Could they continue to keep business if they lose credibility?

I don't see how you can dismiss this article based on the source. Perhaps there is something I don't know about LewRockwell.com.

Holy cow! I have read many articles from several of these LewRockwell columnists! Talk about credibility! Some are awfully popular people here at Free Republic. I see and enjoy their articles here often!

Really, I seriously doubt a conservative right wing organization with these kind of columnists is an unreliable source as you contend. (Are you a liberal/democrat disrupter perhaps?)

I think I'll start visiting this LewRockwell.com. Thanks for the pointer.
