On this day:

Loretta Nall responds

Loretta Nall was kind enough to reply to my previous post, and boy was she quick about it! I hardly had time to read through my book on "Libertarian Party Victories" before she had posted a response. A word of advice: Don't ever challenge Mrs. Loretta to a duel. Anyway, here's what she had to say (in a comment and on her blog):

None of my principals support white supremacy or denial of the holocaust.

When I posted that blog entry I did not know that Larry Darby held those views.

He and I share the same views on drug policy reform and some of the same views on religion and government....in that we do not believe any theology.

Our similarities end there.

You can see first hand my views on race issues by watching this video of my speech to the Alabama Conference of Black Mayors on the 41st Anniversary of the Edmund Pettus Bridge Crossing.

I am a firm believer in Liberty being one of the things you can never have if you are not willing to give it to others as well.

Please take the liberty of contacting me directly in the future if you have questions about my stance on any issue....before you report it to your readers as fact. I am happy to answer your questions.

Just ask.

In Liberty,

Loretta Nall

Here's my reply, which is also posted as a comment to the previous post:

Ms. Nall,

Thanks for the response and clarification. I'm glad to hear that you do not endorse Mr. Darby's views on the Holocaust. I had assumed that a self-professed friend of Larry Darby would be aware of what he has said on that topic. His enemies certainly are.

You are a candidate for Governor of Alabama and the most prominent leader of the Libertarian Party - a minor party that dreams of becoming a major party. If you expect your campaign and your party to be taken seriously, I suggest that in the future, you should be more discriminating in your endorsements.
Since I'm already on Mrs. Nall's s**tlist, I figured, "Why not ask her the question she managed to avoid addressing?" Can't hurt, right? So, here it is:
One other thing while I have you here...do you still "encourage all of your supporters to support Larry Darby against John Tyson in the June primary?"

Now that we all know about Mr. Darby's views on Jews, the Holocaust, etc., that shouldn't be a difficult question to answer. I'm sure we'll get a response as soon as I click..."Publish..."
