Their target audience, on the other hand, is assumed to be earnest and gullible—vulnerabilities to be exploited.” “I wouldnt be the first to point out how embarrassingly easy it has been for rancid Koch libertarian front groups to convince those on the Left that they are all on the same team.” “The problem was simple: In 1976, the Kochs threw a lot of cash into bankrolling a Libertarian Party presidential campaign, and they got zilch in return, despite buying all sorts of good press about what mavericks the Libertarians were. The movement was all lobbyists, no Indians. Which is to say: no voters.” “There are ways of making political cross-dressing even more effective. One is called left drawer/right drawer. It consists of cross-dressing issues while alternating left- and right-wing conclusions....” Left drawer/right drawer produces some interesting results. First, it prevents the average person from classifying libertarianism as left or right.....Second, by appealing to the right and left at the same time, the libertarian confuses the left/right spectrum.” Found: Libertarians Lying To Liberals Guide Book By Mark Ames October 24, 2013 filmsforaction.org/articles/found-libertarians-lying-to-liberals-guide-book/
