Minor detail: that wasn't Molyneux. He didn't make it very clear, but he was quoting someone else's web site. They giveaway was the "as a former Ron Paul 2008 supporter" part. Stefan Molyneux was not a Ron Paul 2008 supporter. In fact he was actively blogging and pod casting against Ron Paul in particular and political action in general during the campaign. Also, if you follow Molyneux at all you'll recognize that the tone and language of that post was not his. At the risk of sounding like a fan boy, Molyneux, for all his florid bombastic style, is actually much more genteel than that. He rarely attacks individuals, mostly limiting himself to refuting their ideas. Refuting them very well IMO.
