...and it's not necessarily the activism...it's the "libertarian macho flash," as Ian obviously knows it from having read Michael Cloud's book. It's going out of his way to make the message as unpalatable as possible, and BROADCASTING it, to boot, that's counterproductive to libertarian persuasion. Those of us who suggest he just lighten it up a bit and think about his choices (like not just supporting borderline activism, but producing a movie on it, and making a big deal about it on air.) There are a lot of fellow travelers who, instead of being persuaded to principled liberty, will decide it's for nut jobs.
