Title: 'What is Aleppo?' asks U.S. Libertarian Party candidate

Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson framed an embarrassing lapse on foreign affairs as simple human error on Thursday after he responded to a question about a flashpoint in the Syrian civil war by asking, "What is Aleppo?"

The gaffe came during an MSNBC interview about the continuing battle for Syria's biggest city, Aleppo, which has been divided for years into government and rebel sectors and has been in the news daily in recent weeks. "What would you do, if you were elected, about Aleppo," Johnson was asked.

"About Aleppo. And what is Aleppo?" he responded. " You're kidding?" the MSNBC interviewer said.

"No," Johnson said.

"Aleppo is in Syria. ... It's the epicenter of the refugee crisis," the interviewer said.

"OK, got it. Got it," Johnson said.

Poster’s Comment:
And, just think, the libertarians want to be taken seriously when they and their party leaders continue to display no shortage of unconventional ignorance and radical actions. I still have visions of hundreds of libertarians wandering around at their convention dresses as sci-fi characters such as Kylo Ren from “Star Wars” and Gandalf costumes. And if that were not enough, Libertarian Party chair candidate James Weeks stripped naked to a Thong on C-SPAN. I have said that libertarians are strange with their truly bizarre ideas and antics. I will continue to say that. Only now, I can add ignorance as Gary Johnson pitches his case in his candidacy. Libertarians are a friggin’ joke to be laughed at and ridiculed.

I can not hold that against him. Either you are for dealing with America and all its problems domestically or you are for world issues. I would not vote for Gary Johnson because he is for open borders which makes him unacceptable. Do people leave their front door wide open all the time just because they want to look as if they are above it all? No and neither should the America!

He got punked by demoncrap operative or as we know them MSM.

He got punked ...

He let it happen and therefore it was his fault. Also, it was unfortunate that he humiliated himself by displaying total ignorance of the happenings in Aleppo since it has been constantly in the center of so much carnage as of late. It was an unacceptable lack of knowledge display since he is running for commander-in-chief.

He did neither. You are simply on your routine demonization trip of anything and everything libertarian. Nothing more. That is the only thing you are putting on display on this thread.

There is no excuse for Johnson’s ignorance.

The interview was not an “ambush interview” and he was not forced or tricked into on-the-spot participation. As a campaigning politician, Johnson must be prepared to respond to any question asked at anytime, regardless of the sequencing or preparatory lead-in.

Johnson “fucked up royally”….there is just no nice way to express his poor performance and disappointing reaction to the question.

Earlier this year it was reported in “the Journal of Neuroscience that marijuana does not kill brain cells. In fact, marijuana can actually have a positive impact on a person’s mental health.” I did not place much faith in that report at the time, I have even less faith in it now after watching the interview with Johnson.

In this case, Gatlin, ignorance is in the eye of the beholder.

If we were talking about baseball, and I asked you to recommend a good pitcher, you'd infer I was talking about someone who had a low ERA and a high strike out count. If instead we were talking about kitchenware, you'd infer from the exact same question I was asking about a container for pouring juices and such. It's called "context", and your willful display of ignorance about it is all you have to show here today.

It seems denouncing libertarianism is something that gives you something on par with a druggie high. It certainly would explain your sadistic obsession with libertarianism.

These Liberaltarian freak shows believe in Constitutional amendments such as "The borders shall be open" and Gay Johnson is on record supporting a border that you drive across at 60 MPH.

Liberaltarian open borders brings in riff raff from all over the turd world, including crap holes like Aleppo. They do not even know the places from which they've opened the floodgates.
