    Bovard, I don’t know you from Adam, but this is a most vile and reactionary attack on John Brown and all the idealistic young people in the movement for equal treatment today. At least you let us know you’re siding with the great enemies of freedom, the slavers. Shame on you. pic.twitter.com/3DqUXrJRfS

        Personally, I have always though those keeping slaves were doing the wrong thing.

        He wanted the slaves to revolt against the masters for their freedom. He wanted to arm the slaves and offer support in more than just words. To act like you’re upholding some higher value is laughable.

        Replying to @JimBovard

        John Brown was an evil and psychotic man who committed multiple murders until he was executed for his crimes. Slavery is an evil and despicable institution. These are not mutually exclusive positions to hold.

        Replying to @JimBovard

        Personally, I thought slavery was a crime against humanity and should have been stopped by any means necessary. I also think it's hilarious that you're just openly saying 150 years ago you would have been telling the abolitionists to "just go vote!"

        The Venn diagram libertarians and slavery apologists is a circle It is such a shame that the union did not execute every Confederate official after winning the war they started John Brown was right

        You’re canceling Jefferson then, with his “tree of liberty refreshed with ... blood,” right?
