Why would you say that? Because GB told his listeners to read a book from an author Ron Paul likes as well. GB and Conservs pretty much just hype the "Conserv friendly" aspects of Ayn but ignore the more anti-Conservs part of her like as much as she distrusts big gov she feels the same way as big religion being involved in peoples lives. Oddly enough I sure saw a lot of anti big-gov signs out there in those tea party, not a lot of anti big-religion involvment though.
They can call themselves whatever they want but the founder of the Libertarian party David Nolan called Palin "A Shill" and Glenn "A wannabe"

HA! Yeah, I worded that poorly.
It seems progressives actually have more in common with libertarians than conservatives. So, I hear more honest dialog between progressives and libertarians.
Conservatives seem to revile libertarians, so the presence of high ranking conservatives at the Tea Bag Meeting, & their constant promotion of it, seems to preclude the involvement/influence of any serious organized libertarians including the Pauls.
I could be wrong.

Barr has a party to sell, of course he'll take credit. I purposely did not talk about Libertarians.
Michael Steele: Those of you who live outside of Washington know what I’m talking about. Those of you who actually attend Lincoln Day dinners and county party events. Those of you who toll in the vineyards, spending time in communities in diners, barbershops, and coffee shops, where real, everyday, hardworking Americans can be found. You know it’s real. You can see it, and you can feel it. This change, my friends, is being delivered in a tea bag. And that’s a wonderful thing. source
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and the Tea Party Patriots are not expecting a warm reception on Capitol Hill Thursday. In a series of conference calls Wednesday night, representatives of the "thousands" of tea partiers who have promised to heed Bachmann's call to make a "last stand" against Democratic-led health care reform told their members to expect the worst from the members of Congress they plan to lobby. source
Former Rep. Rob Simmons (R-CT), the national GOP's favored candidate for Senate against Democratic incumbent Chris Dodd in 2010, has departed from his former reputation as a moderate Republican -- he's now become such a devotee of the Tea Party movement, that he's inserted a tea bag inside his pocket Constitution!
"I've made it a habit over the years to carry my Constitution in my pocket as a reminder of what this country and what this country's government is all about," Simmons told a recent event. "But more recently because of the participation of many of you, I've added something to my Constitution. I've added a tea bag." source

Race I love ya, but that doesn't explain Dick Armeys place in this whole thing. Personally I think the teabaggers should protest more, they are uneducated on the topics I have seen videos. Go teabaggers !!racehorse wrote: Bob Baar, the 2008 Libertarian nominee for President, says the teabag movement is Libertarian in origin.

HB3 wrote: why would there be anti-religion signs at an economic protest?
Now you are just effen trolling aren't you? Okay fine, tell me why there were "anti-liberal media/ pro faux news" signs at an economic protest? Tell me why there was "pro-religion/ anti women choice" signs in an economic protest. Why were there "Fox supports our troops" signs in an economic protest?
That's the entire damn point, whatever these protests were suppose to be has turned into what a day of listening to talk radio or faux news is, a bunch of conservs whining and yelling and complaining about anything Dem or liberal.
