They try so hard to convince everyone "SHE'S WRONG!" that they don't even realize they actually agree with her.

Seeing Rand so misunderstood, mis-categorized, and all around misrepresented is just painful. The worst is when they go so far as to attribute ideas to Rand that are actually antithetical just so they can reinforce their arguments against her. They try so hard to convince everyone "SHE'S WRONG!" that they don't even realize they actually agree with her.

"... it seems Rand means readers to conclude that threats and violence are permissible against people who don’t share her vision of economic policy."

    Never in history has one person spouted so much crap in so few words. There is so much wrong with this review, I wouldn't know where to begin nor do I care to try.

    What book did this person read? How did she/he/it get the message this was a book for the 1%? “I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.” ? Being rich has NOTHING to do with it....too bad they missed the entire point. Did they skip over the bum on the train? Irresponsible writing from an irresponsible reader with an obvious ill agenda. Wow.

    All of the efforts to debunk Ayn is a positive sign...they are paying attention, and are very concerned about their position.

    Lack of this attention would worry me more.

    I was going to try to write something pithy, intelligent and scathing.

    Unfortunately, all that comes to mind is WOW. YECCCHHH.
    Get it away from me.
    EEEEEUUUU!!
    Now where did I leave my 10mil magnum ammo? But what if it splashes on me, and I get infected, and the Producers have to draw lots to see who'll put me down?
    Oh, wow.
