"Ayn Rand And The 2012 Presidential Campaign" NPR: Diane Rehm Show 8.20.12

Paul Ryan a libertarian? He voted for the Patriot Act, he voted for the National Defense Appropriation Act, he voted to ban online poker, he’s proposing a budget that gets balanced in thirty years. He is anything but a libertarian.

"Senior fellow Onkar Ghate of the Ayn Rand Institute, Slate political reporter David Weigel and Stanford history professor Jennifer burns join guest host Tom Gjelten to discuss her influence."

I fuckin love the diane rehm show. She has a few liberal biases, but she brings on an array of guests, usually well educated folks too.

I know this is going to leave me angry. There is no way NPR gets something like this right...

Edit: Meh, not as bad as I thought so far.

Edit2: Until we get to the callers...
