*sigh* Since there seems to be a great deal of argument on what Libertarians believe (amongst themselves) I'm not sure you can stick them in an all encompassing group (which I think we agree on, if I parsed you correctly...but then you go and put them in a group) However, paft's original statement was right wing libertarian (notice the small l). Now either the difference was a nuance not intended, sloppiness or ignorance, I can't say, however I do interpret it differently* as I consider myself right wing with a basic libertarian philosophy.

The original statement I replied to was subsequently dismissed as an opinion (which was backtracking, but oh well). My point (I'm not sure any more since this getting pretty convoluted) was to the effect that the since the statement "all liberals are lazy" is demonstrably false, it is obviously hyperbole, and taking it personal AND personalizing it is done so as an excuse to attack...with more hyperbole. Heck even you qualified your agreement with "pretty much all" (
which may or may not be true depending if we are talking about a subset of Libertarians or libertarian leaning right wingers)

*since my (appropriated) motto has always been clarity is preferable to agreement, let it be stated that was my goal in this rather wordy comment.
