[Sentient Void]

Updated, everyone!

George Carlin trashed on libertarians.

Is this really the best we can do??? Anyone have any more ideas / comments?

Also added people who were able to contribute to the list so far. I'm going to turn this into a blog when I feel we've got a pretty solid list... and try to work on sending it viral...

It would be ncie if we had these celebs coming more out of the woodwork and proclaiming their libertarianism as well.

John Mayer... maybe im not sure if this was serious or not

It was a satirical stunt. He talked about his adoration for Obama before the election and was dead serious in tone.

 

[dejavu22]

Yea i figured as much but i remembered it and never bothered to look it up afterward.

But i did find a more extensive previously compiled list

Dave Barry
from wiki:

is a Pulitzer Prize-winning American author and columnist, who wrote a nationally syndicated humor column for The Miami Herald from 1983 to 2005. He has also written numerous books of humor and parody, as well as comedic novels.

I read his Sunday column before I ever knew he was a libertarian - hilarious stuff. The TV show Dave's World (which I've never seen) was based on Dave Barry.


Jack Kevorkian should probably be on this list - I've heard he was an Objectivist.
"Choices are important in life. You gotta have choices. It's your body, your life. You have every right to think and say and do anything you want, as long as you do not HARM or THREATEN ANYBODY OR ANY PROPERTY. That's freedom, and we're far from that."
I also just found out that Mary Ruwart's sister was a patient of his: http://www.lp.org/blogs/mary-ruwart/my-sisters-journey-to-dr-kevorkian

I think James Clavell, author of Shogun and Tai Pan and other East Asian novels, was libertarian/Objectivist. Wikipedia seems to think so as well:

Politically, Clavell was said to have been an ardent individualist and proponent of laissez-faire capitalism, as many of his books' heroes exemplify.

Clavell admired Ayn Rand, founder of the Objectivist school of philosophy, and sent Ayn Rand a copy of Noble House in 1981 inscribed: "This is for Ayn Rand—one of the real, true talents on this earth for which many, many thanks. James C, New York, 2 September 81."

There's also a list from the Advocates for Self Government:

[Sentient Void]

Awesome. Updated again!

I didn't add everyone from the advocates for self government link because many of these names a lot of people haven't heard of at all, hell I haven't even heard of many of them.

As for economists/founders/et al of the movement, many are not anywhere near well-known, so that's why I left them out (and put in someone like Milton Friedman for example).

 

[emazur]

Some are more famous than others. John Larroquette absolutely should be added to the list - he's probably more well known to the average American than almost anyone else on there - has done a lot of TV acting, most well known for his role in Night Court in the 80s http://server.theadvocates.org/celebrities/john-larroquette.html

Sean Morley (WWE's Val Venis) is also quite well known among wrestling fans

 

[A Son of Liberty]

It was a satirical stunt. He talked about his adoration for Obama before the election and was dead serious in tone.

:thumbs:

"So we keep on waiting... waiting for the world to change... One day our generation is gonna RULE the population..."

Yeah, Mayer doesn't get it.

 

[Sola_Fide]

Derek Webb is a popular Christian singer who supported Ron Paul last time.

I really like Derek Webb's song called Wedding Dress. Derek Webb is a Calvinist too

 

[TheViper]

Judge Napolitano is listed on there twice.

I think author Jeffery Deaver is a libertarian by the content of his books.

 

[jdmyprez_deo_vindice]

Thomas DiLorenzo

 

[jdmyprez_deo_vindice]

Oh and Sean Morley (Professional Wrestler best known as Val Venis)
