LewRockwell.com
LewRockwell.com (LRC) is a libertarian web magazine run by Lew Rockwell. The site, which is closely associated with the Ludwig von Mises Institute, is known for espousing free market economics and opposition to war and imperialism. Deviation from these editorial themes include links to outside science and history articles pertinent to libertarianism, as well as occasional articles criticizing the presidency of Abraham Lincoln [1], usually in context of the libertarian doctrine of the right of secession. The site also features essays that include arguments against the United States's participation in the Second World War [2], speculation about an end of the United States as a cohesive nation-state [3], and accusations of fascism on the part of countries often considered free [4]. It is read by one out of 4,000 Alexa users daily. [5]
Criticism
Tom G. Palmer of the Cato Institute has criticized the blog for [6] carrying columns by controversial figures, such as Gary North, whom Palmer calls "one of the oddest of oddballs" (North has called for the stoning of homosexuals and women who have abortions [7]), and Joseph Sobran, whom he notes "speaks at neo-Nazi conferences of the Institute for Historical Review" and was fired from the National Review by William F. Buckley for what many considereed to be anti-semitism.
