It seems quite silly to argue against a viewpoint by citing that you've met some douchebags who follow that philosophy.
I'm met plenty of republicans who lack understanding of the power they have over the less fortunate. I've also met many liberals who can't comprehend why someone would want to own a gun, or who constantly look for any excuse to peg someone as racist/sexist/classist/etc. (Obviously these are all United States-centric examples since I've spent most of my life here)
To me it seems far more productive to examine the "best form" of each philosophy rather than the worst

On the third, though, I think it is worthwhile to examine the good, bad, and ugly of each viewpoint. I only meant to point out an example of ugliness that sometimes falls out of libertarianism.
