Portrait of a libertarian Republican

I’m posting this strictly for the lulz. Eric Dondero, a self-described libertarian Republican who once worked for Ron Paul, is spitting mad about President Obama’s victory.

And when I say spitting mad, I mean that literally.

If I meet a Democrat in my life from here on out, I will shun them immediately. I will spit on the ground in front of them, being careful not to spit in their general direction so that they can’t charge me with some stupid little nuisance law. Then I’ll tell them in no un-certain terms: “I do not associate with Democrats. You all are communist pigs, and I have nothing but utter disgust for you. Sir/Madam, you are scum of the earth.” Then I’ll turn and walk the other way.

This is even funnier if you imagine Daffy Duck saying it. Which you probably are, now that I’ve mentioned it.

Daffy Dondero’s “personal boycott” gets even funnier (and pettier, if you can believe it.)

Have a neighbor who votes for Obama? You could take a crap on their lawn. Then again, probably not a good idea since it would be technically illegal to do this. But you could have your dog take care of business. Not your fault if he just happens to choose that particular spot.

Yes, well. I believe some jurisdictions may also frown on pet owners letting their dogs shit on other people’s lawns. Then there’s that whole respect-for-private-property thing.

When not befouling his neighbor’s yard, Dondero is doing his part to dismantle the “libertarians are all assholes” stereotype.

When I’m at the Wal-mart or grocery story I typically pay with my debit card. On the pad it comes up, “EBT, Debit, Credit, Cash.” I make it a point to say loudly to the check-out clerk, “EBT, what is that for?” She inevitably says, “it’s government assistance.” I respond, “Oh, you mean welfare? Great. I work for a living. I’m paying for my food with my own hard-earned dollars. And other people get their food for free.” And I look around with disgust, making sure others in line have heard me.

Keep in mind: this isn’t something he’s planning on doing; it’s something he’s already doing. Imagine how many converts he’s made.

No, not to libertarianism. To the libertarians-are-all-assholes point of view. Well done, sir! Well done!

If all libertarians were like Dondero, Gary Johnson would have received at least five percent of the popular vote. You know it’s true.

Dig into the comments for even more fun.

Hint: when Dondero’s not glowering in disgust at people in the line at Walmart, he’s predicting “Nazi-style concentration camps” in two or three years. What a guy! We need more like him!

  1. To the libertarians-are-all-assholes point of view.

    They’ll believe that anyway.

    • How often do you berate welfare recipients in the checkout line, Cyto?

      • I’m glad Dondero has finally hit the big time. Way back when he was still trolling the comments section of any vaguely libertarian leaning blog ranting against Ron Paul, we knew he was destined for great things.

      • Never. How often do actually address people’s points?

        • If your point is that libertarians have a bad reputation — I completely agree!

          My point is that people like Dondero aren’t doing anything to improve that reputation.

  2. Regardless of what Dondero calls himself, nobody can figure out what the heck he is and what makes him tick. That somehow he associates his nut jobbery with libertarians has libertarians scratching their heads too.
