    Barrett asks for Haugh resignation, Part Two: Haugh responds

    What follows is an email from Sean Haugh to Kevin Barrett, and copied to others. This email was sent to me by LP Political Director Sean Haugh, in response to my inquiry regarding whether he wished to respond to Barrett’s press release. The email is reproduced here with the specific permission of Mr. Haugh. The only edits I have made is to reformat actual email addresses, to protect those persons from spam...

    Subject: Real Quotes from Kevin Barrett From: “Sean Haugh” Date: Sun, May 18, 2008 11:34 pm http://lastfreevoice.wordpress.com/2008/06/26/barr...

    response from Barrett's PR representative:

    Anyone can post a “quote” on the Internet and attribute it to [Barrett]. Haugh is actually using “quotes” posted by people with psuedo-names in blog comment sections. Not very authoritative and very sloppy... Haugh is a disgrace to the Libertarian Party and needs to go.

    Uh, that was me. And I provide links to the originals. And so did Haugh in his posting.

    Howdy Julie! It was the Waukesha Freeman. The article will be in tomorrow's paper.

    Here's my statement which I encourage you to share with the Wisconsin LP:

    In almost all cases, as Political Director I support the candidates as nominated by our state parties no matter how I feel about them. I cannot in good conscience do this in the case of Kevin Barrett.

    I do not have a problem with him or anyone as a so-called "9/11 Truther." I accept that people who express skepticism over the official story about what happened that day have a home in the LP. But Mr. Barrett goes well beyond that in two ways:

    1) He frequently calls for the mass executions for treason for reporters who wrote articles with which he takes issue. I absolutely will not support any candidate who calls for mass murder of anyone, and am appalled that anyone who considers themselves Libertarian would advocate something so horrific.

    2) He has made qualified statements of support for the preeminent Holocaust deniers in North America. I researched this extensively before coming to this conclusion. He seems to be playing both sides of that fence. I am and will always be totally intolerant of the Holocaust deniers. It's a blatant racism borne of a deliberate stupidity and I will do absolutely everything in my power to make sure that Holocaust deniers do not feel they have a home in the LP.

    I strongly urge the Wisconsin LP to not nominate Kevin Barrett for US Congress. Regardless of your decision however I will go out of my way to disassociate him from the national LP.

    When I asked the national Libertarian Party Political Director Sean Haugh why 9/11 conspiracy theorists are naturally drawn to the Libertarian Party, he replied that it was because when people feel the government is lying to them, they are attracted to the political party that searches for the truth no matter who it affects. In other words, the Libertarians do not exactly discourage anti-government conspiracy thinking within their ranks.

    Haugh did end up calling me back to say that he could not support Barrett’s candidacy for Congress. Not because of the 9/11 conspiracy thinking. It was Barrett’s support for Holocaust denier David Irving that had given him pause. “Oh, my.” And then Haugh’s research also led to discovering Barrett had called for the execution of journalists “complicit in the 9/11 cover-up.”

    So it’s interesting to note that the Libertarian Party does have some standards. Calling for violence against journalists and denying the Holocaust are, in Haugh’s words, “beyond the pale.” http://www.foxpolitics.net/politics.iml?mdl=issues...

    There’s more where that came from. Note that even prominent people within the 9/11 Truth movement itself are reporting these quotes and claiming that Barrett discredits their efforts. From the references you can also see that there’s a community of people out there who are watching and listening to Barrett’s every word. When he says this junk in the future as a Libertarian candidate, every one of these people will have reason to link these noxious sentiments to our party. http://lastfreevoice.wordpress.com/2008/06/26/barr...

    Indeedy.

    I was amazed the Libertarians were that naive as to provide him a platform. Many have been fooled by the charisma aspect, the befriending, the appeals to fairness, etc. Its best to do a thorough google search early on, and not just relying on showmanship, hype and apparent intent.

    But hopefully the Libertarians will be ready and able to take action if it becomes necessary, as many others have had to.

    Good work, Arabesque. Your persistence in tracking damaging behavior and statements really does leave a trail which others can then find, refer to, learn from, and continue.

    Sean Haugh really seems to be on point as to his critique of Barrett.

    It looks like there's a little controversy over Barrett's support of McKinney. Remember, if your function is to disrupt, nothing you do really has to make sense or mean anything one way or another. Barrett's function at this point seems to be to do as much damage to the 9/11 TM as possible while retaining enough stature to be heard/paid attention to.

    Maybe someone should warn McKinney about accepting Barrett's endorsement:
