Lovely three-person thread from Mr Free Market. The summary is:
"As a libertarian, I hate Africans"
"As an ex-Zimbabwean farmer, I hate Africans"
"As an ex-soldier, I think we should shoot the Africans"
And sometimes people still ask me why I’ve turned more liberal since I started blogging.
On the other hand, some libertarians make very good points. I’m not saying that *exclusively* cos they’re bashing Bono, although that is obviously a factor…
John,
How do you find these people? This is one of the best yet — his commenters are fantastic too. The ‘Ban all knives’ comment on the IKEA story if genius. The ‘horse-face’ jibe at Camilla is stunning.
"As a ex-Zimbabwean farmer…" Oh my word. At least the Tagline is honest.
The thing is that libertarian is a very flexible term, going from people with a mild distate of taxes to gun-toting tatcherite loonies.
It’s a spoof.
It is a spoof, isn’t it?
No it isn’t a spoof, is it? What seems odd is that although dear old Free Market has got loads of guns and seems to be quite wealthy, he’s whinging like one of his caricature-"victims". It’s not as if rich white right-wingers aren’t in charge of everything,is it?
