The truth about Rand's meetings with neocons McConnell and Bill Kristol

[Matt Collins]

So you are saying you were hired by the campaign and they left you off FEC reports? Also, that you were in a role as a spokesperson? Seriously, Matt.... if so, correct me. If not, pretending you were a paid staffer on here is fine but, don't go to other sites and say you 'haven't spoke for Rand since the primary' if you never did.

Call me ignorant but, we both know that I'm not 'in the dark' when it came to who was on staff.

I'm not going to post it publicly, but I'll PM you the details.

As I said in PM. You did a lot of good as a volunteer and no reason to have a 'look at me' moment all over the internet.

And as I said in my response, there are strategic reasons for doing so.

a specific and strategic reason... like making yourself look important?

I can't take credit for that great response sent to me.

Strategic ego-stroking sessions.

You (and only you) make it difficult to like you, regardless of how much good you do. It comes off that you're only doing it for the attention and that you consider yourself to be some sort of demi-god in the political arena who must be worshiped.

Not trying to be a "hater," it's just that some day, you should attempt to understand why many people think you've got some bizarre attention complex. And I do understand that even this "bad" press will only serve to titillate you.

I don't seem to have a problem with people liking me. MANY people like me.

If a small handful of people arrive at the wrong conclusions, that's not my problem. I'm not running for office.

Strangely I am not the one who has turned this entire thread into a discussion about me.

dude has serious problems.

Whatever makes you sleep at night.

As usual, the point is absolutely lost on you. I'm not sure if it's because of weak intellect or your absurd cravings for attention....or both.

Matt was not on staff, but I am sure he did have Rands ear more than most, which is not terribly often. Rand did not have many touch-points for the grassroots anyway as he is an island unto himself. Matt, for better or worse was one of them. Go figure. There were a couple of times in the campaign were the hardcore supporters got 'squirrelly'. Matt had a role there. Everyone plays a part. Just my 2 cents

Have to say I prefer the written Hunter to the audio Hunter.

cool info!

I don't understand why so many people hate his audio recordings lol But I've heard a ton of people complain about them.

What's interesting though is that his audio recordings are just him reading a weekly column that he wrote. The SA parody while an unfair attack, is still kind of humorous because it does poke fun at his voice.

So, Allison Gibbs was wrong when she yelled that "Rand is a Warmonger" at the Liberty Summit in Orlando in August???

If she really did that, then she is a bimbo.
She was dating one of the motorhome diaries guys, who identify as anarchists. If she shares their views, then I'm sure she views both Ron and Rand as warmongers since they believe in a state

It always amazes me that libertarians are the quickest to attack their own rather than focus their critiques for the true authoritarians in this world.

I'm tired of purists for throwing our liberty candidates under the bus just because the purists misinterpret one comment in the course of a campaign.

Anyone who saw Rand as a warmonger either lacks logic or desperately wants to demonstrate their own ideological purity compared to other libertarians (particularly, our candidates).

I saw so many RPFers hate on Rand for over a year. What did THEY do to help liberty? Not crap except preach to the choir in a little corner of the internet.

Sorry, but I'm sick of the distortions and outright lies about Rand's positions

If she truly yelled that "Rand is a warmonger" across the room at a liberty summit, then she is a joke

well said, Randy!

Thanks for the info Matt. I always wondered what happened in the Bill Kristol meeting.

There's a saying in healthcare about how nurses eat their own young.

I think the same saying can be applied to libertarians.

This! But even more appallingly, they were usually being manipulated by the media they CLAIM to hate/distrust. Most big "libertarian issue" blowups came not when it was relevant, but rather after the media chose to unleash that particular line of attack. We can't progress until we stop allowing ourselves to be manipulated. We should be the ones who know better, and lead others...
