Description

Murray responds to a question regarding his "endorsement" of Johnson over Goldwater in '64. This parallels the recent accusation made by Jack Hunter that Rothbard endorsed George H. Bush in '92.

Rothbard ends by saying: "A vote for Bill Clinton is a vote to destroy the last vestige of parental control and responsibility in America. A victory for Bush will--at least partly--hold back the hordes for another four years. Of course, that is not exactly soul-satisfying. What would be soul-satisfying would be taking the offensive at long last, launching a counter-revolution in government, in the economy, in the culture, everywhere against malignant left-liberalism. When oh when do we get to start?" Well, that revolution commenced with Ron Paul's 2007 presidential campaign, and arrived in full force in 2012. What's the difference between Rothbard's "endorsement" and Rand Paul's? Rand made a POSITIVE endorsement of Romney. Rand Paul is going to campaign for him, even in light of there being an actual revolution underway. Any attempts at comparing Rothbard's actions with that of Rand's is completely disingenuous.
