Even as Lawrence O'Donnell was announcing his "first" on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" today — he will be the first broadcaster to have both Libertarian presidential candidate Governor Gary Johnson and vice presidential candidate Governor William Weld together tonight at 10 pm — MSNBC played clips of the (nearly) nude libertarian protesting Johnson's selection.

The Libertarian Party has always had a large, grumbling, wild eyed, anarchist faction. In 1984 they undid their party's progress by refusing to nominate Georgetown international relations professor Earl Ravenal because of real or perceived slights to the more unwashed libertarian activists by Ed Crane, who then left the LP, when the barbarian hordes took over, and went on to run the Cato Institute. Until Governor Johnson rescued the Libertarians in 2012 by accepting their nomination, they've been running unknowns, or an occasional outlier Congressman, Ron Paul in 1988, or Bob Barr in 2008.
