Lew Rockwell publishes local Libertarian
Jeremy Ashton takes Glen Beck to task in this editorial published on lewrockwell.com:
Dear Mr. Beck,
On your radio program you recently did us all a great disservice by misrepresenting the libertarian philosophy. I am already well aware that you are not a fan of Ron Paul and would prefer that any of the other Republican candidates receive the 2008 presidential nomination. However, as one who always claims to want to have open and honest debates about the issues, I expected more of you. Remember, it isn't about left and right (though I have an extremely difficult time seeing much of a difference between these two "ideologies" these days) but about right and wrong. In order to have this discussion, shouldn't one start off honestly by making sure that everybody has the right information? Since you also claim to be one who thoroughly studies out all sides of an issue, I have a hard time believing that you were ignorant in your misrepresentation of libertarianism. However, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and take the time to educate you on the beautiful philosophy of liberty.
