Is there a "Media Matters" for the Ludwig Von Mises Institute? I can't find it.
Edited on Tue Aug-02-11 11:01 AM by FormerDittoHead
sourcewatch.org and mediamatters.org has scant little on the factory of bullshit known as the Ludwig Von Mises Institute.

There's enough at sourcewatch.org to get the idea, but I'm looking for more.

http://sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Ludwig_von_Mises_Institute

I understand it's obviously a think tank well funded by the pocket change some rich people have given it, plus the money that the idiots on the right are willing to pay for their propaganda to justify their racism and greed. I get that.

When I was a "DittoHead" I was familiar with the John Birth Society and books like Gary Allen's revisionist classic, "None Dare Call it Conspiracy" full book: http://www.whale.to/b/allen_b1.html (a pdf is also google-able)

Looking for an easy to read, updated counter to the Mises Institute and its alternative reality, I was surprised that, at least in the world of Google, there is little if anything at all.

I must also note that the SEO people at the Mises Institute do their jobs quite well!

With all due respect to my college professors in history, philosophy and economics, I don't remember the tiny details that one of the brainwashed idiots might throw around to prove that all government is bad except that which protects wealth and that the rich are that way because they are naturally superior.

PLEASE HELP ME - is there any place which is devoted (or partially devoted) to dismantling the empire of lies that is the Ludwig Von Mises Institute?

I'd LOVE to quickly shut these guys up.

Thanks in advance.
