Libertarian Senate Candidate May Be Ousted
Provocative E-mail Offends Some Party Members
Posted: 5:36 p.m. MDT August 15, 2002
DENVER -- The Libertarian Party of Colorado may oust U.S. Senate candidate Rick Stanley for forwarding a provocative e-mail on the Internet.
The e-mail stated: "I look forward to the day when we offer Summary Street Trials, in the streets, in public offices, motel rooms, coffee shops, where ever these bastards lurk. We, the American Sovereign People, are administering justice under laws of war and treason, strictly, mercilessly, and swiftly."
Stanley (pictured, left) thanked the writer, adding, "I will forward and when the day comes, and it will, America will be prepared for the traitors day in the people's court."
The exchange prompted several Libertarians to file a complaint Thursday. They want the party's state board to conduct a hearing and perhaps remove Stanley from the party.
Some Libertarians claim Stanley's actions violated party principals that prohibit the initiation of physical force against others.
Stanley defended his actions in an e-mail to supporters Thursday. He said he never sought to initiate violence, which would violate an oath he said he signed with the Libertarian Party.
"Every Libertarian I know disagrees with something in the national platform," Stanley wrote. "There is something seriously wrong in this party when the few try to silence any dissent."
A hearing could take place in two weeks, and Stanley could be removed from the November election ballot.
Stanley said the comments in the e-mail were not his.
Last month, he was fined $629 and given a suspended sentence of six months in jail for carrying a loaded gun during a December Second Amendment rally in Denver.
