MSNBC host says Detroit fast becoming a libertarian city

Ahh, I see the problem.  He actually says "libretarian" not "libertarian".  The Libretarian Party is an obscure and seldom heard of political party in Michigan whose planks include:

 

1) Pro-No Shirt, No Shoes and No Services (They see shirtlessness and barefeet as the natural order and accept the lack of Services as a result)

2) Pro-Decaying Roads (Also helps with the barefeet thing, as well as encouraging a horse-friendly road environment with more dirt and less asphalt and concrete)

3) Pro-Bombed-Out Infrastructure (Let's face it, it makes for better photographs and explosions are badass)

4) Anti-Light Pollution (The Libretarians are very much in support of Hobbyist Astronomers and advocate for zero nighttime artificial light, sort of like a more liberal North Korea)

The strategy is just to associate something negative with a concept or person, a form of conditioning, and it isn't about anything rational. If asked about the use of the word, the reporter would say that they were commenting about the government not providing services, which is what libertarians advocate.

I love this almost subliminal assassination type stuff. It tells me the "libretarian" movement is gaining ground.
