From a mostly OK article on indigenous land rights at Mises.com: “As the legendary libertarian writer Murray Rothbard explains …” “Legendary?” Seriously?

I mean, I guess if anyone who ever said anything right-on about anything you care about is “heroic,” calling your favorite writer the stuff of legend is the next logical step. But how do you even write this shit without falling over laughing? Like, “And his bowtie of garnet was forged and made by Telchar in the fires of Nogrod. And the Collectivists saw it, and the terrible light of his glance glinted in his spectacles. And he cried out the names of sages of the glorious natural rights tradition, and they fled in fear before his countenance.”
