Even if they have a philosophical libertarianism in common, a committed anti-Communist who called for rollback rather than containment has a very different role in Republican politics than someone whose support is animated almost entirely by an approach to radical Islamism that can be most charitably described as strategic retreat. I’d expect Justin Raimondo to be this dumb (fun fact: Raimondo’s hero, Murray Rothbard, was one of the only libertarians who endorsed LBJ in ‘64 on peacenik grounds), but I’m a little disappointed in Brian Doherty.
