Why does News strive
to ignore Libertarians?
Letter to the editor by Boulder Libertarian Jack Rudd
Published in The Rocky Mountain News, September 2, 2001 issue

Your Aug. 11 story by Katie Kerwin McCrimmon ("Poll: Allard shows weakness") states that Tom Strickland is Sen. Wayne Allard's "only announced foe."

This is clearly false reporting, since there is at least one other announced candidate for Allard's office, namely Rick Stanley of the Libertarian Party.

I am curious to learn why the Rocky Mountain News makes such a determined effort to pretend that Libertarians do not exist. You folks must believe that the Libertarians are a threat to ideas that you hold dear. Your attitude is reminiscent of the refusal by Palestinians to utter the name of Israel, referring to it instead as "the Zionist entity."

Since you similarly abhor making reference to the word "Libertarians," let me suggest a euphemism that will allow you to report honestly about them. You can refer to Rick Stanley as the candidate of "the anti-collectivist entity."

Fair enough?
