Well, Rothbard was one of the three founders of Cato. He's actually the one who suggested the name. After the not-so-amicable parting of ways between Rothbard and Cato I wouldn't have expected them to sing his praises. Why do I seem to keep getting objections to the simple statement that not all libertarians "love Hayek and Friedman"? I mean, really, it's not that great of a claim. And lastly, call Rothbardianism fringe, but it's surely still libertarianism, right? Rothbard's been hugely influential on modern right-libertarianism as a whole, so why the insistence of erasing him from the picture?
