The mailer I quoted was posted on ThirdPartyWatch, a blog owned by Barr supporter Richard Viguerie. I haven't seen anyone but you claim that it's not genuine. <BR/><BR/>As for "official campaign literature that contradicts his position" - you're right, there isn't any. Opposition to immigration has long been a central tenet of Barr's candidacy. He doesn't try to hide it. I've made several posts in the past linking to articles he's written that attack immigration. Barr is contradicting the Libertarian Party position, not his own campaign's position.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13534096073937573676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429305915843274151.post-68957735942577332562008-07-05T11:05:00.000-04:002008-07-05T11:05:00.000-04:00Mark,I am saying that perhaps what you read did no...Mark,<BR/><BR/>I am saying that perhaps what you read did not actually come from the campaign, but rather a group trying to villify Bob Barr, like they did with Ron Paul. After having spoken with Bob in person about this issue, I find it hard to believe that there is official campaign literature that contradicts his position.<BR/><BR/>BrettAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429305915843274151.post-79531778970548349762008-07-04T23:40:00.000-04:002008-07-04T23:40:00.000-04:00I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say, Br...I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say, Brett. I posted both Barr's thoughts about immigration and the LP's position on the issue. What do you think I'm ignoring here? <BR/><BR/>I don't know how opposition to immigration is "pro liberty," even if some libertarians, including Ron Paul, take that position. This is an issue on which I agree with the LP, most libertarians and Barack Obama, not Barr or Paul.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13534096073937573676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429305915843274151.post-38178990426881661032008-07-03T19:42:00.000-04:002008-07-03T19:42:00.000-04:00Perhaps you should check the official position on ...Perhaps you should check the official position on the website in regard to this issue. I recall similar statements being linked to Ron Paul’s campaign as well. This seems to be a common tactic for those who oppose the message that the pro-liberty candidates are conveying. If you make things look official enough, people who do no research will just run with the story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
