Next David Horowitz decries the “strain of isolationism and anarchism” in America, especially as represented by “libertarian websites like LewRockwell.com,” which are “totally in bed with the Islamofascists and have turned against this country.” By country, of course, he means the imperial presidency’s war-spying-torturing-taxing-planning apparatus.


from Lew:
IMPORTANT

If you want to respond to Mr. Horowitz, a donation to LRC would be much appreciated!

Lew has stood by Ron Paul. Even to the extent of giving up their tax exempt status, so that he could continue to use his blog to support Ron Paul's candidacy.

It is now OUR TURN to stand up for Lew and Ron Paul!

Please join me in contributing to Lew Rockwell.com, so that he can respond to Mr. Beck.

A supposed ex-Marxist. Neo-conservatism is a perfect fit for him, as its founders were themselves, ex-Trotskyites. I myself, somewhat question the "ex" aspect. ;)

David Horrorwitz is a Communist and he even says so in the interview with GB. Its GB that tries to spin it the other way.

The typical American wont catch it though, give them 800 channels on TV and a Cheeseburger and these sheep will be happy

Well, I donated the closing price of gold on 11/5 ($807.10) to LRC on 11/6 as a tribute to all the RP supporters that made 11/5 possible & Lew's good work. Earlier in the year, I donated $250.

Me, I'll continue to contribute to LRC. I've been reading LRC since around 2002. Often a lone voice in the wilderness, derided as a crank by other conservatives, he's stuck to his guns on liberty & money issues.

He's also provided an ongoing forum for Paul in the years/decades leading up to RP's current popularity.

It is hard to think of another cause more worthy of 2d place for my donation buck after the RP campaign.

Precisely my thoughts, bolded & underlined. I'm only a recent reader, since about mid 2006ish.

I did sign up for the monthly $10 contribution. As the Austrian school would proclaim, "I valued LewRockwell staying in circulation far more than I did keeping my $10 per month". :D

A lot actually. If we start firing mini-money bombs at RP supporters who are unfairly attacked and viciously mischaracterized, what message does that send to the attackers?

Gary North on the LRC Secession
Posted by Lew Rockwell at August 6, 2007 12:39 PM

Writes Dr. North: "Because LRC was an adjunct to the tax-exempt Center for Libertarian Studies, its positive references to Ron Paul's ideas raised a threat of the loss of CLS's tax-exempt status. So, on June 30, LRC 'seceded' from CLS. Now donations to LRC are no longer tax-deductible. The details are here.

"My view is that LRC is deserving of support, despite the loss of its tax-deduction. The site has become the most heavily trafficked site in the world of anti-bureaucracy ideas. Here is where we go to find out what disaster government has imposed on us lately.

"In the world of LRC, every government boondoggle is a potential I-35 bridge waiting to collapse."

I'm so proud of my fellow RP supporters for donating to another great patriot and their bloggers/writers. I've been a fan of Lew for a long time and have been reading LewRockwell for at least 7 years it seems. They deserve every penny we can muster! I'm broke right now but will be pitching in something next time I get paid (and I've donated before).

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

Ok I donated $25. I have also met Lew and he is a very nice person and a true patriot, I believe. Shame on Horowitz and Beck. Shame on them.

I value the feeling that I have done something to help those that the anti-RP MSM smears more than the $25!

If we keep up this most excellent money bomb action for those on the receiving end of the anti-RP arm of the MSM, the good guys really will benefit from those trash puppies saying all these nasty things. KEEP IT UP, GLENNIE POO. You and your pals are ticking off the wrong people. After all, we are the people who raised $4.3 million in ONE DAY for our guy!!! And yes we will keep bringing it up, bc it will always be true....ahhhhhhhh....sooo sweeeeet.....

If I get slammed by the MSM while defending RP, can we have a money bomb for me??

That whole Glen Beck segment was really absurd - I counted 3 outright lies from Horowitz alone. It was also interesting to look at the framing they used - Guy Fawkes wanted to "blow up parliament with everyone in it," but the American revolutionaries simply "broke with England." No mention of the protracted guerrilla war that took place.

If this is the worst we have to deal with from V for Vendetta fallout, then things are going to be ok!

probably b/c the traffic was already there and they have the RP archive and lots of other great stuff too...

remember when the campaign was still primarily about education?

in the long run, this will have paid off 100X for lewrockwell.com
it was a very wise move on his part.

Lew Rockwell is a true legend in the cause for liberty.

Without his efforts to create the Mises Institute 25 years ago, (Ron Paul also played a part in its early development) I doubt Ron Paul could have become the knowledgeable statesman he is today and I further doubt that his campaign could have got off the ground in the early stages.

Lew also created www.lewrockwell.com which started off as a means for him and fellow thinkers to share news items and to present current affair opinion pieces with each other.

Mises.org and lewrockwell.com are extremely successful websites and I'm proud to have followed them both from the very early days. If I had a spare million, those two organizations, and www.antiwar.com (which is currently doing its quaterly fundraiser) are the places I would gladly contribute.

For those who have joined the freedom movement just in the last 9 months specifically because of Ron's campaign it is important to understand the significance of Lew Rockwell.

The success of Ron's presidential campaign has just as much (if not more) to do with Lew Rockwell as it does with Ron Paul. They both are 2 wings on the same bird.The success of this campaign would not be happening without Lew's work over the years. Period.

Lew was Ron's chief of staff back in the day until he decided he needed to do more. The way to look at it is that over the last few decades Ron has been working within the system while Lew has been educating people outside the system. And now all of thier tireless work from over the years are now coalescing to form the perfect revolutionary storm.
