Are Environmentalists Communist? and What About Ayn Rand?
what about her-since the author seems to know next to nothing.
and alright, who is the gulcher he refers to in the article? I KNOW those bumper stickers were on someone's car who is a producer here

The article starts out with straw men and then moves in a rough transition to poisoning the well, which is a form of ad hominem.
A Communist.
I grew up in Malibu, and my dad was an LA. County Life Guard at Zuma Beach before starting his own business. We spent many days on the beach and when we got home my parents used gasoline to take the tar off the bottoms of our feet that naturally oozed from the sea floor and found it's way onto the beach. I wonder where this guy thinks the La Brea Tar Pits came from that are full of Pleistocene animals?
If you didn't make it, you missed out on how Rand died a communist, which is the last bogus criticism of Rand when they're completely out of things to say.
Then we both wasted our time on crappy article ending. :)
The Medicare / SS thing is the generic invalid cheap shot to take at Rand when someone's run out of arguments. If she was a "Red" for receiving benefits, why wasn't she a "Red" for choosing to pay taxes to those programs instead going to jail for tax evasion?
I completely reject the bumper sticker and Ayn Rand's claim that there's something communistic about concern for the environment. Of course political groups try to co-opt movements to their own interests. Political parties tried to do this with the OWS and the Tea Party. . It's not a conspiracy, but most people involved in a party as a career have an interest in the stability associated with people arguing as groups over two menu choices that aren't that different.
