Mancow-Barnyard Chicken
Part of now-off-the-air-in-Chicago Mancow’s shtick is that he is a Libertarian.
That’s the stated viewpoint that WTTW announced they were getting when they hired him to do commentary.
The commentary may be Libertarian, but Mancow refused to interview me when I was the Libertarian candidate for governor four years ago.
So, ponder on this.
If you have a forum in which you could showcase a Libertarian candidate and refuse to use it, how much of a Libertarian can you be?
A parallel question:
If you say you are pro-life, but support the pro-abortion challenger, how pro-life can you be? (Reference 1998 and 2000 primary elections in which pro-abort Rosemary Kurtz challenged me in the Republican primary, succeeding the second time around.)
