Anthony Bourdain = Libertarian

[Forefall]

What an endorsement that would be. There's a large number of intelligent people that follow his show/books religiously (myself included)... he said that he was a Libertarian in a magazine ad...

I'm going to send him a nice, long email detailing Ron Paul and see what he has to say.

looking forward to his response!

Love his show on the travel channel.

Nice

I love Anthony Bourdain!!! His show is my #1 favorite show and if you haven't read his Kitchen Confidential, it is a MUST READ. (My fav. book too) I'm now reading A Cook's Tour. The man is intelligent, and his writing is witty, colorful, descriptive, and just all-around excellent. Support Tony, and let's get him onto Ron Paul.

 

[Forefall]

Agreed, JC.

Bourdain is a fucking god. I love his style and his bluntness.

i don't know... he seems pretty liberal to me. just from watching that travel channel show, i've gotten that he's pro-illegal immigration and pro-socialized medicine

but he's also old school punker.

Lots of actual ( meaning not pseudo-"populist") Libertarians support the former.

Hah! Yes... the Ramones to be exact.

I'm having trouble tracking down his email address... I figured it would be an easy "just go to his website" kind of thing, but his site doesn't have contact info, maybe he's been spammed too many times from people asking for recipes

Voted for O-Bomb-ya

A disappointment to me personally for someone I admired. I was very happy when he was elected President. I certainly voted for him and I was very happy when he was elected. I wish he’d get angry.

Yeah he isn't libertarian. He is probably liberal, and snooty. Comes from New York doesn't he? I like his show, but there are some episodes where he and his hosts come off as pretty pretentious. Like the episode where he visits Vegas and rails against how "corporate" and "soulless" it is, and the episode where he visits this guy who makes chocolate sculptures. He just kept going on and on about how the chocolate sculpture guy is a genius sophisticate, anyone who disagrees is obviously the opposite. Its more vibes I pick up, he wouldn't act blatantly full of himself on television, but its definitely there. Old buildings in European countries, unanimous consent on socialized medicine = cultured. American owned fine dining, modern buildings, the polish of a well run business = soulless and "bourgeois". Although I can't fault him for clearly not being that much of a fan of the United States, and he undoubtedly runs in to many people who rail against the US in his travels.

^Just my misc. thoughts.

Yeah, I guess he's libertarian "for a New Yorker." In other words, he's probably anti-war, pro drug-legalization (he's been known to partake, that's for sure), pro-illegal immigration (a LOT of the people who work in kitchens are illegals), and unhappy with D's and R's--so calls himself a libertarian.
