Harry Browne expressed the plumbline libertarian position as informed by the writings of Garret Garrett, Charles Tansill, Murray Rothbard, James J. Martin, Roy Childs, and other libertarian historians. That this could possibly be news to Eric Rittberg absolutely astounds me.

The libertarian movement has a tough enough time being associated as a loony tunes Lyndon Larouchie/Louis Farahkan type group without having the mantle of "Pro-Nazi" also being thrust upon it makes matters worse. > > Even more, as many of you may remember, David Duke, a real live Nazi, called himself a "libertarian" a few years back on a number of radio and magazine interviews. To have a position posited by a leader of the libertarian movement like Mr. Browne which conjures up images of the libertarian movement being associated with modern day Nazis is not at all positive. Not too mention that Nazi who ran on the Libertarian Party ticket in Delaware a few years back for Governor and ran television commercials in the Philadelphia market with him in front of a Swastika with the tag line; Vote Libertarian. > > I urged my supporters previously to listen to Mr. Browne's show. I now urge them to boycott it. I would urge Mr. Browne to hereby refrain from calling himself a libertarian. With views like that, he is an utter embarrassment to our movement. > > Eric Dondero > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Eric Dondero, Interpreter & ESL Instructor > > Author of "Worldwide Multilingual Phrase Book," "Vacation Spanish" & "Ingles Real". > > http://www.houstoninterpreter.com > > > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > ------------------------ Yahoo!
