Here's my comment to Brian on Hit & Run:
It is one thing to associate with nonlibertarians to, among other things, get them to see the wisdom of libertarianism. It is something else to express their nonlibertarian ideas as one's own. Isn't that part of the controversy surrounding the Ron Paul newsletters? This isn't about tolerating the intolerant; it's about pandering to the intolerant.
