Serious Dust Up: Raimondo versus Tucker

The following Twitter exchange took place last night between Justin Raimondo of Antiwar.com and Jeffrey Tucker of Liberty.me.

  1. The original tweet was from Liberty.me. It may have been a staffer posting it. That would explain the source of confusion. The #idiot comment was uncalled for.

  2. I agree that #idiot was uncalled for and shows a lack of class on Raimondo's part. It's possible that there is a history between these two that I'm unaware of.

  3. That's funny. A while ago, I called Cathy Whats-her-face a "tramp" in a tweet to Raimondo and he chided me for it being "un-called for." I disagreed, but apologized for causing unintended offense to someone I admire, namely Justin.

    That being said, I direct you to this:

    It's a "brown bag" seminar at LvMI from a number of years ago with Tucker, Shawn Ritenour, Mark Thornton moderating, along with a few others that I don't recognize. They were discussing an article in the JLS that Gary North penned and Ritenour was offering a response to. During the discussion, Tucker, a converted Catholic, throws around a lot of firm statements about some very heavy philosophical aspects and views of Protestantism. The other participants, who identify as being adherent of various strains of Protestantism, answer the bow-tied one by saying, basically, "you don't know what you're talking about."

    It's hilarious. So, give a listen and see if the "idiot" tag applies or not.
