I have never claimed that this is not so. However, here is Gahid's original claim:

This unsubstantiated drivel is what I have been replying to. I am well aware of his past connection with the Libertarian Party. But to leap from pointing out ties to an organization to averring that the entire purpose of a candidacy is to shill for that organization, is idiotic, to say the least. I would hearken back to my last post: could it not be said with just as much fairness that he's shilling for LewRockwell, the Mises Institute, or AntiWar.com? These are websites/organizations with which he has been closely affiliated, and far more recently than with the LP.
