Sorry, but...

While not all libertarian institutions qualify as extremist (the Cato Institute comes to mind), the Libertarian Party most certainly is, as can be determined by reading their platform every 4 years. On second thought, however, I really should have used the term "fringe", since that is less of a perjorative.

My point was that candidates that actually hope to get elected are unlikely to resort to spam since they will almost certainly lose more votes than they will gain. Candidates like Mr Russo, however, have no real chance of winning and know it, but run to promote a particular ideology; such candidates have nothing to lose by spamming. To that extent, the particular ideology really makes no difference, wouldn't be surprised if a Green candidate did the same thing.

BTW-- If you had actually read many of my posts, I doubt you would have thrown in the "wonderful workers paradise" line. I admit that my politics are hard to categorize, but I don't think that anyone who's paid attention would accuse me of being a socialist, though I'm certainly not a libertarian, either.
