I wouldn't call him a FF as much as just a very wise man, but he's definitely not an HP.

Ralph Nader is an enemy of freedom and extremely authoritarian, so anyone who opposes him is a Freedom Fighter.

But if we just substitute 'BRTD' for 'Ralph Nader' in this sentence, then it would be equally valid (or equally invalid), would it not?

I don't hold as many authoritarian positions as Nader does. Nader is authoritarian on basically everything.

So opposing someone irrelevant is fighting for freedom?

Well in that case I'll just go put up a sign saying "MY NEIGHBOR IS A FASCIST".  I never knew that fighting for freedom was so easy and took so little effort.

If Nader were irrelevant, we would be far better off and there would no Americans dying in Iraq. Sadly that is not the case.

I don't hold as many authoritarian positions as Nader does. Nader is authoritarian on basically everything.

So (if one accepts what you say about your comparative authoritarianism is true), then your position becomes:
1. Ralph Nader is an enemy of freedom and extremely authoritarian, so anyone who opposes him is a Freedom Fighter.
2.. BRTD is an enemy of freedom and extremely authoritarian, so anyone who opposes him is a Freedom Fighter (just not quite as much of a FF as those in category 1).

Well I hold very few authoritarian positions. I'm basically only authoritarian on tobacco and surburban development.

I quite liked that guy. Though I hate the two-party system, I have learned to accept it.
