Fantastic media coup in favour of The Libertarianz Party of New Zealand. The only bad publicity is good publicity, don't you know?

JulianP, speaking on the Census rebellion, ended up having his words twisted into their antithesis! Libertarians are the arch-enemies of racism. By what Socratic rhetorical spell did this quick-minded interviewer argue the libertarian into the racist corner?

It was a something along these sorts of lines...

Interviewer: But don't libertarians think the government should have a role in telling people what to think?

Libertarian: No. I don't like what you believe, but I defend to the death your right to believe it.

Interviewer: What if I believe in Christianity? In smoking cigarettes? That okay with you?

Libertarian: I have my own preferences for those things, but I'd never ask that they be forced on others.

Interviewer: Does this apply to racism also?

Libertarian: Yes it does. Real freedom is the freedom to be right AND the freedom to hold badly mistaken views.

Interviewer: Thankyou. And that concludes our interview with the Christian smoker racist.
