::: For years, wikipedia said "McVeigh self-identified as a libertarian in a statement that was reported by MSNBC.com and The Washington Post; and in 1996, while in federal prison, he voted for Libertarian candidate Harry Browne in the United States presidential election, 1996." Both halves of that statement were removed separately, but that is what people read for years. Earlier, wikipedia read "McVeigh was a self described libertarian and an anti-government extremist" and the article carried the category tag "Libertarians". Lots of people were claiming - falsely and for many years - that McVeigh was a libertarian in the political context. There is no legitimate reason to perpetuate that myth.

This section of the article has now been modified in several ways, which will hopefully address all of these concerns. [[User:JWD3|JWD3]] ([[User talk:JWD3|talk]]) 23:18, 16 February 2021 (CST) | |||
