You see, this narrative trying to tie Trump to white supremacists has been a theme on the left ever since Trump entered the race. And Spencer was just some random racist they found to pump up so they could tie him to Trump.
DC assured me that Spencer was a nobody in Montana (raising rabbits?) before the Breitbart article. Now this Huffpoo piece which was written before the Breitbart article says Spencer has a non-profit in Arlington employing 50 people at the time? That can't be right.
You're not even trying. NPi was HQ'd in Montana, where Spencer lived, from 2013 to 2016. They moved to Arlington in 2016, with Spencer splitting time between MT and VA. He moved to Alexandria in 2017, and apparently belonged to a gym for a short period.
That's a long winded agreement that your post was made up.
Seriously, this is why you are called bullshirt. He moved to VA in 2017. Only you, and maybe one other, would claim that is contrary to me saying he moved after the Breitbart article.

LOL, you just won't give up, will you. You asserted that he was a nobody living in Montana before the Breitbart article.

Now it's revealed he was running a non-profit employing 50 people in Alexandria (that's actually pretty big) before the article was published, and you want to try and crab walk this argument into "well he technically lived in two states" (that actually undermines your argument more by the way) and try to call *me* dishonest? No, I don't think so.

By the way, the house (6BR on a ranch) he was living in before the Breitbart article is valued at around $3.5M. Not bad for a nobody.

My assertion is that he was a nobody in the national picture. There are lots of millionaires that no one has heard about it, especially those who were born with rich parents.
But, hey, if you want to argue that he was actually a real somebody on the national scene, before the events I laid out, go ahead and do so. Of course, you'll have to reconcile that with the claim that he is a creation of the MSM, and that to you, he was non-existent before Nov. 2016.

Or, we could just end this silliness, since it has nothing to do with the reason that the media is talking about Spencer. That is all related to the Spencer-Breitbart-Bannon-Trump connections.

You just can't stop conflating arguments. He was unknown To ME until November. He was unknown to just about everyone until the MSM (not Breitbart) started writing articles about him. Yes, he's a creation of the liberal media. Hell, I wouldn't be shocked to learn he's a plant and being paid by the left.

That's an awesome conspiracy theory.

I think it's odd that you call a guy who has been a white supremacist for a long time, and who held an event where they nazi saluted the POTUS, is a creation of the left. He is a creation of his own actions. Now, if you want to argue that he's purposely taking actions and saying things to get the MSM to talk about him, then that's probably fair.

A plant is not necessarily fake. Never said he didn’t believe that crap, though it could all be fake.

I'm trying to think of a good example of someone else who protests to be a conservative but somehow undermines conservatives at every turn...help me out...

Yeah I'm waiting with baited breath for this too. I can't find any references on any libertarian websites, oddly.
You guys can stay ignorant.

No IP, I seriously want your help. I've searched all over Cato and Reason where a libertarian like yourself would lurk trying to find this but I can't for some reason. Darn.
