Well of course the libertarian leaning Republicans don't like this.

Another related article. Ignoring the unfavorable headline, the contents of this article aren't too bad.

Here's one from a Republican leaning Libertarian Webb supporter.

There are 'civil liberties' Libertarians, ones that are pro-free speech above all else.  To appeal to the left we should try to emphasize matters such as being against war (except for the last resort) and for separation of church and state (at least the extent we can be).  Sorry jfern, I can kinda see where you're goin with this, be you can't expect me to support a 'libertarian' that's against a free market.

Well, really it all comes down to who you would have voted in the 1933 election in Germany.
