    Libertarians are not the brightest bulbs.

What is the point of this? He has an interesting argument, why not just make it?

Personally, I am not sure that aversion to coercive violence is at the root of libertarian philosophy so much as an aversion to coercion backed by a public entity. It seems to me that libertarians are tolerant of coercion as long as it comes from a private entity.
