LP Convention Coverage

Here's some coverage, courtesy of C-SPAN, of the LP National Convention in Portland. Please note that RealPlayer (free download) is required. The LP portion begins at time marker 14:22 and is slightly over an hour long.

Speaking are Christopher Farrell of Judicial Watch and Andrew Neil of Sky TV, The Sunday Times, The Economist, BBC and other organizations.

Enjoy!

UPDATE: C-Span is apparently moving pages around on their site right now. The video can currently be viewed from their front page at c-span.org.

It's not working. It goes to the site, but it says that the file doesn't exist.

Its not that they aren't willing to say unpopular things clearly. Are they part of the political problem when they only make fun of policies in an expected way, instead of presenting real alternatives based on reason and economics.

Why won't they hackle republicans and democrats with arguments from the libertarian platform instead of each others platforms which are hardly much different anyways.

Its not that comedy central is so liberal that they won't allow conservative viewpoints tongue in cheek by stephen colbert, so why wouldn't they allow a tongue in cheek libertarian viewpoint?

forgot to include the title on the above post:
Why won't the Daily Show and Stephen Colbert make more fun of or mention Libertarians
