Ah man, I don’t “confront” people just to be a jackass. I initially asked Kokesh some questions about his platform and made criticisms of it, and was told I was an annoying and ignorant troll. Usually when people get defensive and resort to name calling that quickly, it is a signal that something’s amiss.

I’ve mailed him directly about the messages to Angela Fisher’s son but have received no response. There are a million details such as this, and they all trace back to narcissistic type behavior.

My initial gripe was simply—and still is—that I don’t believe his platform is compatible with voluntaryism. Now I am convinced he is a dishonest individual, and is actively damaging the “liberty movement,” and basically scamming good-hearted individuals into dumping their hard-earned money into politics supporting him as a “full-time activist.”

When you make implications that everyone who disagrees with you is “mentally disturbed” or a “state plant” the chances are that something is amiss. He may even be projecting.
