.....a little fascist. Yes, you heard it right. The CATO institute awarded a right wing student leader in Venezuela $500,000 for opposing the Chavez regime although it is widely known his "student group" is neither libertarian or in line with any type of real free market ideology except the non-Adam Smith kind of managed markets for U.S. global corporations.... what the f**k is up that that CATO? You award fascists? You don't award the Libertario from Venezuela even? No mention of what the little fascist did to promote Bolivar's democratic vision in the nominations.... Have you lost your f**king minds, collectively? I never knew you awarded neo -mercantilism and fascism.... Like Eva Gollinger I see Exxon behind your award Yon, not liberty.... if you speak spanish, you can watch Eva parse it out here ... Why not give the brave Venezuelan Libertarians who helped stop a war with Colombia the award. Do you see that little f** k's name on any of it? No, he is a too...

I found an unsolicited letter in my mailbox today from David Horowitz saying you liberals are blocking Islamo - demofascist -commie awareness week. Is this true you traitors ? I am so incredibly sick of the turpitude and screed of the conservative movement, that I am at a loss for words right now. Well you will be happy to know I sent him back this message: Dear Mr. Horowitz, It is with great sadness I received your letter.

I loved it when you said, " Part of the motivation for Discover the Networks is....the view that leftist individuals and groups provide support, intentionally or not, for Islamic terrorism, and thus require ongoing scrutiny." And when you provided proof in your Book Unholy Alliance that made me a think of you as a new Lenin. I mean if all the Islamo - democommie -fascists get to...

Sometimes there are threads that just take off in tail-chasing directions that nobody (especially not the author of the original post) anticipated. People get caught responding to increasingly tangential arguments and starting making more and more bizarre arguments, kind of like an out-of-control driver repeatedly over-steering until he slams into the retaining wall at 75 mph. I usually chuckle at these feeding frenzies when they occur at Delawareliberal or DelawarePolitics , feeling mildly superiors (except of course when I'm directly involved; then naturally whatever I say is totally justified). But the current triple set of threads at Thoughts on Freedom, the blog of the Australian Libertarian Society proves what a lot of people (Dana comes to mind) have said about Libertarians can't simply be discounted. Sometimes we, too, eat our own young. It all started innocently enough: Indian Libertarian Sukrit Sabhlok posted on the same stats about prisons in America and China ...
