I didn't mean to offend libertarians - or any other group for that matter. There were a couple places on the page that specifically mentioned "libertarian" (but I saw no mention of the group claiming ties to Jews, Catholics, Liberals or Buddhists.). So it was natural to associate the group with a *fringe* libertarian group.
The general philosophy of Libertarianism I have no problem with. Small government and individual liberty are worthy goals.

P.S. I will happily admit I am fairly ignorant of white supremacist groups.
P.P.S Hopefully we can get back to physics discussions :-)

People know so little about Libertarian philosophy that I tend to forgive ignorant statements such at that posted below. If you don't like something blame it on a group you don't know much about - like Catholics, Jews, Libertarians, etc.
For the politically uninitiated or naive, APFN is a white supremacist hate group. You can associate that with Liberals, Conservatives, Buddhists, ....... whomever you tend to dislike the most.
