Libertarian Party to White nationalists: Get out

The National Libertarian Party says it stands for freedom for all, but it won't stand for white nationalists.

The party, considered the fastest growing third party in the country, issued a statement Tuesday asking any white nationalists who belong to the party to leave.

"There is no room for racists and bigots in the Libertarian Party," said Libertarian National Committee executive director Wes Benedict. "If there are white nationalists who — inappropriately — are members of the Libertarian Party, I ask them to submit their resignations today. We don’t want them to associate with the Libertarian Party, and we don’t want their money. I’m not expecting many resignations, because our membership already knows this well."..

Everyone knows the Klan or White Supremacists types advertised in Ron Paul's newsletters. Where are all the self-righteous broadbrushing Ron? Or in fact, some other incidences with Rand as well?

Last time I checked, Ron, while leaning Libertarian on many issues, was a Republican congressman and ran for President as a Republican.

Will you extend the same courtesy to them and paint the whole party as such because of that?

The way I read this, the Libertarians are saying they are currently the home of White Nationalists. Hmmm....

Only rich software developers are allowed to eat lunch with the big-L Libertarians.

They find their way in every party. So far, the LP is the only one in the past decade or so with the stones to say outright- get out.

Reagan, Buckley, and Cooledge did prior to this for the Republicans but sadly, leadership as of late doesn't want to rock the boat.

How can they get out if they were never there in the first place?
