I discovered your blog because you mentioned my arrest for taking pictures of cops in one of your Fox columns.

I was surprised but impressed that Fox would address the issue.

Now I’m a regular reader of your blog.

[...] FoxNews.com scaled down its opinion section, killing off my column and several others. They had to create room on the front page for the important [...]

I’m an Agitator reader of 4+ years who found out about it via the Fox link.

I can’t even remember how long I’ve been reading Radley, I came across Radley from Cato. In fact, I started subscribing to Reason once he moved there.

Radley – I do hope you land another gig on the “outside.” As others said, it might be more fun if it’s on the left, especially since there are a lot more outfits that fall under the umbrella of the left than the right (like ABC, NBC, CBS, NY Times).

I will miss the occassional links to the rantings of the comments to your Fox articles!

Your voice is definitely needed now at a left-leaning site, and I hope you get a gig soon. Must be gratifying, though, to see in all these comments what an influence you’ve had — and a *real* influence, not just preaching to the choir.

Hey, how was Philly?

Radley, your Fox column was pathetic. I searched all through the Forbes.com archives and didn’t find a damn thing!

I honestly don’t remember how I first found you, but if it was through Fox News, it was probably before 9/11, because I had pretty much given up on them by that point. When Clinton was in office they were great as the “alternative media”, but they pretty much sucked from the moment they hired Geraldo Rivera.

So, does this mean “Puma” is right? You’re not a “biweekly Fox columnist”?

If only we had known the power of the RLCIL!

Jesus, I’ve been reading Radley so long I don’t have the faintest idea how I came across this site originally. I suppose it was sometime around 2002-03.

You “college Republican” types are making me feel old…

Anyway, here’s hoping you find greener pastures for your work in addition to here and Reason. It deserves a wider audience and needs to be heard by people that probably don’t agree with you already.

Has anyone replaced Kristol yet?

I wonder if they did away with the column because they read some of the comments.

I’ve been drooling over your writing for a few years now and originally found you from Fox. I’m one of the lurkers here.

Can we see the columns they refused to print? Or were they already reprinted here?

Although I watched FNC as often as any of the other mainstream news outlets, came to TheAgitator via the Cato site. But, I am sad Foxnews.com is dropping its columns and yours particularly. It really was a chance for people who don’t “get” libertarianism to find out that it’s pretty much the view they have and that many of the problems they have with this or that government policy become more clear when they realize they are problems inherent in government policies in general.

I agree with people suggesting that you get a column on a center-left site to see the contrast in feedback from Fox’s center-right audience. It will be hilarious to see people bitching that you are a right-wing screwjob when you criticize Obama for the same sorts of thing you (and they) criticized Bush for, back when so many labeled you a left-wing screwjob. ;-)

When they moved the opinion links off the front page, I sent them a nasty note. They probably already had me blacklisted by then, though.

Oooh, how we found theagitator stories. I heard him on a radio show on a Baltimore news station (driving through jersey), talking smack about MADD. After googling Bradley Ralko and Bradley Backhoe, I finally hit the correct spelling and here we are.

The only time I ever went to foxNews was specifically read our humble agitator’s pieces and send them to my conservative friends.

I’m pretty sure I came over here waaaay back when from your FoxNews column. It was linked to by…Andrew Sullivan(?) then followed it over here.

But I think Stephen Milloy is an absolute tool.

SO THERE ;)

My story’s about the same as Fritz’s, so I won’t repeat it. But thanks, Radley, and I hope your column gets picked up elsewhere, maybe cnn.com or rlcil.org.

Basically echo everything Fritz (#11) said… I was a young College Republican fresh from voting Bush in ’00 and on my way to being a neo-con after 9/11 when I found this site via FoxNews (http://www.forbes.com) and started reading a different viewpoint that suddenly made a lot of sense, while at the same time enrolled in an Econ class taught by a libertarian. My eyes were opened. Now I’m just jaded, bitter, cynical, and caloused by what I read here every day.

Keep it up. We need more like you. I point my friends here on a regular basis, and some of them have slowly started to come around.
