In reply to the discussion: Pierre Omidyar - Libertarian GG's Libertarian Billionaire Boss [View all]muriel_volestrangler
(101,295 posts)20. Half of the article on DailyPaul that you linked to is from Infowars
You linked to that, not to Edmonds' site. There is both text and video from infowars, clearly marked.
Since you're struggling, yes, I will clear this up: if you want to say Omidyar is a Libertarian, then don't link to the world's premier Libertarian site - DailyPaul, for an article half of which comes from the world's premier nutball-libertarian site - infowars.

GG and Co. give a shit about domestic spying. It's a ruse, it's bait for the gullible.

No, I'm saying Omidyar and Co. are using people's fear for profit. Just like the NRA.

I disagree wholeheartedly. I am seeing the same kinds of reactions from the groups.

Ah. So all his experience in cyber security is null and void if he profits from it?
