From The\u00a0Tom Woods Letter<\/a>:<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a certain executive vice president of a certain Beltway libertarian think tank who has a habit of smearing rival libertarians.<\/p>\n

He did a preposterous hatchet job on the heroic Jacob Hornberger of the Future of Freedom Foundation, for no reason whatever apart from institutional rivalry. He denounced the Mises Caucus of the Libertarian Party from a position of complete ignorance, thereby alienating a huge number of smart libertarian young people for \u2014 well, again, no real reason at all.<\/p>\n

And forget about his treatment of the Mises Institute, where he\u2019s just another sad example of Mises Derangement Syndrome.<\/p>\n

When that thrill a minute Bill Weld got the Libertarian Party\u2019s vice presidential nomination in 2016, this person excitedly tweeted out an image of Weld\u2019s blurb of his book \u2014 from 1997. This is a grown man, I remind you.<\/p>\n

His latest target is someone you\u2019ve probably never heard of: Eric Brakey.

Eric was Maine state director for the Ron Paul 2012 campaign (our smearer hates Ron Paul, so this is a red flag for him), and currently a state senator in Maine. He\u2019s running for U.S. Senate this year as a Republican.<\/p>\n

Despite that, Brakey endorsed Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson in the latter\u2019s own U.S. Senate race in New Mexico.<\/p>\n

Anyway, on to today: the other day Brakey offered the wild proposition that perhaps the reason the Democratic Party is so gung-ho about immigration is that they expect the new arrivals to change the political landscape in their own favor.<\/p>\n

Can you believe anyone would make such an outrageous accusation against the wonderful…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
