Chris Sinnard (a few pages back in this thread) attacks all the guest speakers that "FFF" has somehow attracted for its conference, but the ones he lists are either not libertarians or Misesians at all (e.g. Cockburn), or, if they are (e.g. Kwiatkowski), have something else to offer, like trail-blazing insights into the military industrial hijack by warmongering corporatists.
This is the list of guest speakers that Chris Sinnard complains about : "Alexander Cockburn, James Bovard, Karen Kwiatkowski, Glenn Greenwald".
He then says about them, "what a bunch of America-Haters and Racists! I'd like to try and go, I'm hoping I can get my white hood and robe back from the dry cleaner in time." I think that either Mr Sinnard's mind simply wasn't on what he was writing, or he was deliberately muddying the waters by mis-matching his examples to his argument.
I mean, if he had said "Jacob Hornberger is an ideological hack fronting a corporatist rat trap disguised as a libertarian think tank," I would have been delighted, and he would have achieved at least some of what I suppose is his purpose, namely, saying that "FFF" per se is rubbish.
