Who said anything about me? I was discussing a hypothetical situation, not a "stunt". Also, white people are no more likely to be racist than black people, asian people, hispanic people, or anyone of any other race. I myself am not racist in any way. I am for 100% meritocracy regardless of race, gender, age, religion, or cultural heritage. I know racism well having been the victim of it many times in a lot of the Asian nations I visit and even in Mexico.
I haven't suggested that racism is a libertarian principle, although it's every bit as libertarian as are the people who raped the LP party platform and who have the nerve to call themselves the Libertarian Party Reform Caucus. My question wasn't about racism, or stunts, or myself. It was a hypothetical question asking what lasting effects to the LP (if any) do you think such an action would have. Personally I think it would have a dramatic and detrimental effect on the party not only in that district, but state-wide, and perhaps even nationally. --- In [email protected], "steven linnabary" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Paul" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > I have a hypothetical situation. > > Let's say a a white (and completely non-racist) Libertarian Party > candidate was in a major federal election against one of the most > powerful black candidates in congress in an overwhelmingly black > district made a press release inviting his opponent to a public > debate, and when the press arrived to cover the debate, he walked out > in a KKK robe and hood and said, "Libertarians hate niggers!!!
