Desperation 2004

Some interesting election links: *Various libertarian-ish people from Reason magazine's Rolodex announce their presidential preferences. Kerry appears to be leading, with a strong showing by Badnarik. Most surprisingly emetic response goes to Nat Hentoff. (E.g., on Ralph Nader: "He’s also become part of the bash-Israel crowd, and to get on ballots he’s been cooperating with Lenora Fulani, who has been accused of harboring anti-Semitic biases." Now I hold no brief for Fulani, but notice that Hentoff doesn't even bother to call her "anti-Semitic," much less provide any evidence for the charge – he's content to simply note that she "has been accused of harboring anti-Semitic biases." The stuff about FDR is nauseating, too.)
