She was also a racist and a eugenicist (the two are linked.)

And any “anti-government” type who spends a significant portion of their life living off welfare...well, who has time for hypocrites?

Refresh my memory. I read practically every word she ever wrote while I was in college in the late '60s and early '70s. My memory isn't what it used to be. So please feel free to refresh it.

How did she live off welfare? And I don't recall her every writing anything racist, nor advocating eugenics.

So please enlighten me as to what you are talking about.

Perhaps instead of attacking Rand, you can interact with the ideas. They do not depend on her choices. To not honestly confront ideas and focus on personalities is lame.

Usually one must go to Daily Kos or Democratic Underground to read that sort of thing. You are educated enough to see your ad hominem, but you and Jonathan Chait make a nice pair. Hey, this logical fallacy thing is fun!

Do you have anything to back that statement up? Or is it just something you heard?

"She was also a racist and a eugenicist..."

So was FDR and Woodrow Wilson.
