Libertarian with coolest / scariest facial hair?

[Alex Libman]

I'll sign it as long as I can still make fun of Bob Barr's scary beard!

Hey now, this deserves a spin-off thread! A lot of cool libertarians have facial hair! A few examples:

Walter E. Williams
(Ron Paul's likely choice for VP)



Ludwig von Mises



David Nolan



John Stossel



Eric S. Raymond



Lysander Spooner



Sam Longoria



Larry Elder



Tom Selleck

(Will have to split this post into 3 because of the darn forum limit settings...)

[Alex Libman]

James M. Buchanan (the economist)



Richard Branson



Jacob Sullum



Vernon L. Smith



Joseph Bast



Richard Ebeling



Donald J. Boudreaux



Walter Block



Roy Childs

[Alex Libman]

Doug Bandow



David Boaz



James Bovard



Karl Hess



Albert Jay Nock



Lord Acton

And many others, but I haven't got all day.

And, of course...

(click above image for details)

Post your own favorites... Notability requirements: that person(or that person's organization) must have a Wikipedia article, and include photo with the facial hair in the post.

Spooner wasn't a libertarian, he was an anarchist!

and he wins

(Added missing "James Bovard" link label under his photo, sorry.)

Spooner wasn't a libertarian, he was an anarchist!

Given that he lived 1808 - 1887, does that distinction matter? I guess it doesn't to AfSG.

and he wins

The "coolest" or the "scariest" facial hair category? Or both?

I guess we could make this into a 3-phase vote. First people post photos, then they "second" up to 3 photos of their choice posted by someone else, then I add a poll excluding ones that never got seconded. Or who cares - we know Bob Barr will win in a landslide!

This beard gets a nomination for coolest liberty beard.
Can you nominate yourself?

[Alex Libman]

Only if you have your own Wikipedia entry that's not nominated for deletion (main namespace, not user page).

I had someone contact me for info for a wiki page. Maybe they succeeded in adding me?

Fascists have facial hair too!

1st: Lysander Spooner wins any contest involving liberty and facial hair automatically. Basically, this is a competition for second place.

2nd:

I'd have to go with Spooner or Acton for the coolest. The rest are pretty scary in their own unique ways.

I'll second your second place for coolest facial hair. My addition to this thread is first place for dead last and I maintain that distinction to this facial hair thread--it's all I got!

Ohh, OK, gotcha.

I was close, and it's still one hell of a truck.

Humph, our resident "movement regulators" better tell that guy to cut his hair.

Another one of the "freaks and geeks".

Good for him!!
