I got to meet Libertarian Party presidential candidate Bob Barr when he visited Murphy's Taproom in Manchester, New Hampshire. I offered him a spot on my blog unedited if he had a statement for anarchists. I told him that many anarchists remain politically active in an attempt to shrink the government. I also mentioned that the Anarchy In Your Head webcomic attracts readers from a wide variety of political views. I'm not a supporter of politics, much less of Bob Barr, so don't consider this an endorsement. However, I am a fan of free speech and of making as much information available as possible.

O_O You got to meet Bob Barr!? That's so cool. I just wish more people knew about him... Nevertheless, I'll be voting for him Nov 4th.

Move to New Hampshire. During primary season, presidential candidates will be offering to personally mow your lawn followed by the oral sex. Google "Free State Project".

I think he didn't really know who he was talking to, actually. I think he didn't hear the interviewer correctly, and didn't realize he was supposed to be speaking to anarchist-libertarians. He said absolutely nothing about anarchism at all. I would be very interested to hear what he thinks about the more radical elements of libertarianism.

I actually explained it to him a couple of times- once early on and gave him a little time to think about what to say, and then again right before the statement. I think he made a generic safe political statement about what he thought would be appealing- putting aside differences to shrink government. I reminded him that many anarchists remain political active and that there are a lot of non-anarchists as well who view my site.

That had nothing to do with anarchism/voluntaryism.

[AnarchyInYourHead]

I know. =\ Oh well. I promised him it would go up unedited. He had a chance to say something meaningful and he blew it. *sigh*

He was told to send out a message to anarchists, and his message is "vote"? Lol.

"I want to return people's faith in government."- Bob Barr

This guy is not for liberty, he is for winning. Barr is just a washed up Rep. that suckered all the Libertarian political junkies into voting for him.

Vote for No One.

voting is gay

Anyone who refers to himself in the third person is suspect.

[utubehayter]

not Barr, he is an imposter, a pretender.

[UcanbeGOD]

I see why some are disappointed but he is BOB BARR. What is he supposed to say don't vote for me? I feel like Ron Paul and Barr etc are really in favor of little or no GOV but are still politicians and maybe are naively thinking they can change things but in the long run they mean well.

BOB DOLE!
