Was curious indeed; did some googling. Libertarianism is hilarious: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Ludwig_von_Mises_Institute#Grea...

I've seen quite a bit of mises institute being posted around here in brief, otherwise insubstantial comments. It's nice to have a single link to follow them up with, so that curious parties can get a view from other perspectives.

Most of those items are appeals to absurdity, lacking any particular rebuttals of the things they ridicule.

I think you will find that claiming something is obviously ridiculous to someone who actually needs convincing is one of the worst approaches possible.
