Comments on: Giving libertarians a bad name

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the importance of words, and of the superiority of actual definitions/meanings over the slangs du jour—particularly with respect to terms important to the liberty movement. There is a tremendous urgency attached to defending terms like “libertarian,” “capitalism,” et. al.

Appealing to fellow travelers is going to fail hard when the politically disenfranchised consider giving libertarianism a fair shake, only to be told that Glenn Beck rides among them.
Likewise, the leftist willing, at long last, to molt out of his Marxist skin will keep looking when “capitalism” includes eminent domain abuses, or the state-sponsored elimination of one’s competitors.

Maybe I should stop rambling about it and articlize my concern.

Activists pish, I hope he starts throwing support towards libertarian leaning candidates.

Thanks for the article. We certainly hope he will have a range of activists on his show.

Its true but look at the bright side. People will begin to ask questions as they roam around the Libertarian library. in the end they will find out the truth about Libertarianism. I think that will be beneficial for all of us.
