Hating on Badnarik some more
Writing in the Arizona Republic, Doug MacEachran discusses how Badnarik has turned him away from the Libertarian party this election.

But then the subject of war and foreign policy came up, and suddenly Badnarik started wandering off onto the conspiratorial boulevards of Lyndon LaRouche-ville.I think I'll have some fun when Badnarik shows up on Thursday.
Franklin D. Roosevelt knew about the impending Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and "allowed that to happen." Bardnarik says he's fairly certain that Lee Harvey Oswald wasn't operating as a lone gunman. And he doesn't know what really happened in Oklahoma City, but he's happy to imply that someone planted four bombs inside the Murrah building. "The official federal reports just don't seem quite right to me," he says.
Being a narrow-eyed conspiracy theorist is one thing. Blaming the U.S. for the deaths of 3,000 Americans is quite another matter, however. Badnarik is one of those committed to the mean-spirited notion that it wasn't Osama bin Laden and friends who murdered 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001. It was interventionist American foreign policy.
