.@AnthonySomma Rothbard's a lightweight, IMO. It's no accident his ideas have not gained much traction.

Kaiser hates libertarians and has said as much. He attacked Lew Rockwell a few years ago, too.
ReplyDeleteMax.....tried a mirror lately?
ReplyDeleteExactly. Consider the source.
DeleteMike... Great comeback! I stopped watching Kaiser a long time ago, and I hardly know anything! (but I'm learning... Thanks to LRC and EPJ....)
DeleteHa, this guy blocked me on Twitter after calling me a racist for suggesting he base his opinions in the Zimmerman case on the facts.
ReplyDeleteYup. That's the Idiot Left for you. It's always the same thing. Racist....neoconfederate...slavery...LOL!
DeleteHe's basically admitting to you that he has no argument whatsoever. Whenever the race or sex card is pulled out of their ass you know you've won the argument. :)
"Rothbard's a lightweight, IMO. It's no accident his ideas have not gained much traction."
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing Galileo Galilei's ideas had not gained much traction either, initially. Must be because he was a lightweight, and not because his ideas were scary to accepted religious beliefs and his discoveries a threat to established paradigms..

DeleteKeep saying it. Just spell the name right, Max.
ReplyDeleteYet Peter Schiff is a frequent guest on his program. Makes no sense
ReplyDeletePeter Schiff can seem like Rand Paul, only thing he cares about in the end is Peter Schiff. But at least he does / says Shit with his own private property.
DeleteClose your eyes and ignore reality, Max, that's the way.

ReplyDeleteFor a different take on Galileo vs. Religion, see Tom Wood's 'How The Catholic Church Built Western Civilization'
well, i guess we'll have to wait for Max to finish his thought. Compared to who, pray ell, Kaiser?
ReplyDeleteI knew that Max guy was a two bit sell-out, good for nothing, awhile back. This just proves the point.
ReplyDeleteThe stupid idgot prolly has no idea what a helot is, too boot.
Any day now I expect to see or hear of him licking The Boot.
He's That kind of guy, no?
Yeesh, every time I hear the guy's name I think of Max Headroom.
You know, that computer generated bot from the early Nineties, programed to say whatever "they" thought would motivated us towards accepting the wishes of our overlords, and all with a smile and a laugh.
Americans are such suckers for a smile and a laugh from the right pretty boy poseur.

Yeah, max, Rothbard's ideas have no traction (Ron Paul? The liberty movement? End the fed?). Max is obviously an expert when it comes to the history of economic thought. Did you know that Mises wasn't actually a Mengerian? Well according to max keister he wasn't.
ReplyDeleteMax and his dumb ass wife need to lay off the drugs every once in a while and read a damn book. He apparently doesn't have the balls to challenge any of Rothbard's ideas (via Schiff), because he knows he would get torn to shreds.
"Max and his dumb ass wife need to lay off the drugs every once in a while and read a damn book."
DeleteHe's too busy talking to do something so mundane.
Never heard of this guy Kaiser, but I've studied my share of economist. There is at least one writer in any given economic school of thought worthy of consideration. Even the Anarcho-Communist had Georges Sorel to toss a few interesting concepts in the mix. Rothbard is one of the most provocative economist and he never shied away from exploring ideas to their conclusions no matter how unsettling they may be. That is the essence of deep thought. To call him light weight is shallow delusion. After all, what does having a cult following, the meaning of 'hasn't gained a following', have to do with truth? If one creed is true, then billions of people who follow countervailing ones are deluded. Given that, the number of people who believe in something is no measure of value at all. That Kaiser believes it matters whether millions follow Rothbard in regard to his value as a truth teller reveals himself to be an unworthy superficial starfucker himself.
