The woman was impolite. She didn't need to have the prologue about being "more educated". I, too, would have winced. Ayn Rand calls a spade a spade and I like her for it.

wow this illuminati crap has been around forever

[aaa333ify]

That lady was so rude. "Now that I'm more educated..." What does that mean?!

Ayn Rand is super sweet, but she knows when to stand up and call people out when they are being impolite.

@ 8:50 Donahue goes Soul Train

@dubified89 I think she'd biased as a result of her ethnic background as a Jew.

@broncofan92slay Yes, idiots have been around forever

@dubified89 She should pay a visit to a housing estate in Gaza just after an Israeli air-raid!

The lady at 4.52 does well to raise the subject of the Illuminati, but there's no reference to that in the "Atlas Shrugged" book unless she means the secret hideaway of John Galt and his free energy machine. But that's not the same thing as the Illuminati.

I like Rand but I can't see how one can oppose initiation of force and at the same time support Israel.

Ms. Rand is right, Mr. Donahue is wrong. The lady in the audience was very impolite

And let me register my protest against these hippies too. This is the problem with most Ayn Rand-haters and bashers. Before presenting their usually FLAWED arguments, they begin to tell tales and lies-- that 10 or so years ago they read Ayn Rand, but now they found her to be wrong. Well, if they actually understood or read Rand many years ago, then why MISREPRESENT her views? A careful study of their empty arguments simply proves they didn't understand her views and that they're simply lying!
