Reason on Reddit: Ask Matt Welch and Nick Gillespie Anything Tomorrow at Noon During Their Epic AMA

reddit

Admit it, you are curious about Nick Gillespie's favorite flavor of Pop Tart. You want Matt Welch to dish about his recent interviews with Rand and Ron Paul. You're wondering if Somalia really is a libertarian paradise. And you probably need some advice about a new leather jacket you are thinking about purchasing.

Didn't get a chance to ask those burning questions during previous Ask a Libertarian sessions? Now's your moment.

Tomorrow at 12 noon, head over to Reddit for an epic Reason AMA. Editors in Chief Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch will be there to answer all the questions the Internet can throw at them for a couple of hours. And by "the Internet" we mean you.

The link will go live a few minutes before noon, so post early to increase your chances of getting an answer. 

Reason's annual Webathon is underway! Your (tax-deductible!) gift will help Reason magazine, Reason.com, and Reason TV bring the case for "Free Minds and Free Markets" to bigger and bigger audiences. For giving levels and associated swag, go here now.

Oh, dear. The fedora'ed neard "nice guy" douchebags are too much for me to handle.

[Counterfly]

M'lady.

[Kaptious Kristen]

I take back my reply to your Hamm/Pork headline on the other thread.

[Counterfly]

No takesies backsies!

And I was just demonstrating my understanding of said dbags!

I mean it's not like I:

"M'lady." *tips fedora*

[Kaptious Kristen]

GAH! Trigger warning!

[SIV]

"Why does Reason support rape?"

[UnCivilServant]

"Because we oppose pillage and plunder"

[Troy muy grande boner]

Admit it, you are curious about Nick Gillespie's favorite flavor of Pop Tart.

I'd kind of like to know how me manages his unibrow.

[Kaptious Kristen]

I'd like to know how much he paid for Roy Orbison's wig.

[Idle Hands]

lol. Why even bother arguing with 15 year olds? they already know everything.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Ask a Libertarian?

Q. Why was Frasier included in Expendables 3? What action movies has he been in?

[Francisco d'Anconia]

If you were a tree...

[UnCivilServant]

...I would not be able to type this.

[Warty]

Why are you monsters who support slavery, racism, and the destruction of the earth?

[End Child Unemployment]

What burns in my mind is what is the deal with The Jacket.

[John Titor]

Already did that.

[Warty]

How much filthy Koch money did it take for your conscience to die? Why do you hate women?

[Idle Hands]

Well since they will be pandering for donations not even all that dirty delicous koch money is enough to fuel their quest for global domination.

[JEP]

Is this on the general Reddit page? Or a sub reddit?

If on the general page, you're going to get all kinds of derp.

[Idle Hands]

Does your mom know your gay?
Do you still beat your wife?

These are questions that need answering.

[UnCivilServant]

Aren't those questions contradiuctory? There would be a lack of a wife to beat if the first were to ensnare the unwary.

[Idle Hands]

Not true plenty of gays get married now.

[JW]

"Why should we believe anything that privileged, white Rethuglican males like you have to say?"

[Steve G]

If you are in the left turn lane at an intersection, is a turn signal required?

[flye]

And if there are two possible lefts, shouldn't you use your turn signal only if you're taking the leftmost one?

[UnCivilServant]

Answer - you should never turn left, take three rights instead.

[flye]

As a libertarian, is "no cop - no stop" strictly required or just a guideline?

[Steve G]

+1 UPS driver

[Warty]

Why are you apologists for Big Rape?

[Idle Hands]

What's Big Rape? and is it related to small rape?

[Warty]

I dunno. KKKORPORATIONS PATRIARKKKY

[lap83]

"I dunno."

Lies. You're the CEO.

[flye]

Sustainable rape, farm-to-table.

[JW]

Locally-sourced, organically grown, carbon-neutral rape.

[JW]

"Which one of you is the power bottom?"

[Jordan]

I don't see this going well. Reddit is not a liberty-minded place...

[Jordan]

Kudos for branching out though. This is the sort of thing that keeps me donating to you guys.

[John Titor]

Yeah...r/libertarian and r/anarcho-capitalism are kinda full of stupids.

[This Machine Can Handle a Rope]

I don't see this going well. Reddit is not a liberty-minded place...

My thoughts as well. You might get some sympathetic questions on pot, Mexicans, and ass sex, but by and large it's a prog-lite breeding ground.

[Kaptious Kristen]

I still hope they do the "Ask a Libertarian" thingie they did the last couple years, with video replies to questions and such. That was mildly entertaining.

[Brett L]

Never will you find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. Except seated legislatures.

[Derpetologist]

So Nick and Matt have decided to smear themselves with chum and go swimming with sharks. This will end in tears, I just know it.

Meanwhile, Real Serious Journalists like Thom Hartmann are asking the important questions, such as: Is Libertarianism the Velvet Glove Over the Iron Fist of Racism?

[Brett L]

We're such racists we thinks cops of ANY race shouldn't be able to choke black people!

[Jordan]

Any cop who says he would disobey an order to choke black people is clearly the real racist. Just ask Tony!

[flye]

Or is it the Sneeze Guard over the Salad Bar of Fascism?

[Mr. Soul]

Sister Mary who?

[Stormy Dragon]

Ask Matt Welch and Nick Gillespie Anything Tomorrow at Noon During Their Epic AMA

Andrew Napolitano will at the same time be holding a Reddit Ask You Everything where he gets to question the commenters.

[tarran]

What if we all tried to answer rhetorical questions? What if the questioner was forced to listen to all those answers? What if half the answers had nothing to do with the question? What if some of the answers were intended solely to troll? What if...

[Xajow]

So, I am reading along, not bothering anyone, when I come to this sentence fragment: "And by 'the Internet' we mean"

By "the Internet" you mean what? All of humanity? Nerds with plenty of free time? The fans of Strong Bad's E-mails? What? What do you mean! End the suspense. Tell us, please, what you mean by "the Internet".
