I find the negative reactions to her, (or her writings, I'm not sure if they can be separated), to be almost exactly like the attacks her protagonist suffered in the novels.

Which is so odd, it amuses me.

I'd prefer "Ayn Rand: The Worst Author Ever"

Why don't I quit fucking around and really take the gloves off?

AYN RAND: INSANE NAZI CUNT!!!

Because she's not a nazi.

Turn up the gain on your joke detector, dude.

2009's most influential author is a mirthless Russian-American who loves money, hates God, and swings a gigantic dick.

lol wow.....this....."article" was actually published in a GQ?

[cerveauxfrits]

Sure.  It's not like GQ is The Economist or something.

[Benx6444]

Is Ayn Rand so boring that we can't even get the libertarians and Austrian schoolers to come in here and pick a fight?

Meh, start one up in the "Political" thread and I'll scrap with you guys. Otherwise, enjoy the echoroom.

Say what you will, her rants (delivered by men of course) in the novels are fucking genius. 

Even the movie version of Fountainhead was alright.

And blowing shit up because somebody stole it from you?  Priceless.

She also introduced Science Fiction material in Atlas Shrugged.  I don't know.  I was young, it would probably suck reading it now.

[Benx6444]

Ooh! Ooh! Lemme try now!

Ayn Rand was a big meanie dumb face nazi puppy hater rapist stupid facey retard brain!

Did I do good dad? Did I do good? Can I burn the Mona Lisa now?

Naw, "Atlas" actually gets better the more you read it and the Fountainhead gets worse. I fucking hate the Fountainhead.

[Spanky]

I think I only watched the movie.

[Benx6444]

This "article" is nothing more than a pathetic, (and sometimes patronizing) rant against Ayn Rand. It has no point. I was actually kinda pissed because I thought some new lectures or letters were getting published and the left was overreacting and losing it's fucking mind all over the place. *sigh* Unfortunately, we are left in the dark as to what exactly prompted this idiot to publish this ..... thing.

I am an objectivist that appreciates art.

What does that make me?

"Overall, the experience eerily replicates that of devouring a family-size bag of Cheetos in a single sitting.^1"

^{You know, if you are going to try and slam a writer, you really are required to be able to at least write.}

lol, exactly, what was GQ thinking by publishing this?

[Spanky]

Oh fuck me.  It gets a lot worse farther in.

Why am I even reading this pointless shit?

Fuck you for injecting them with a sneering sense of superiority, and with the tautological belief that anyone who didn't "get it" was a jealous know-nothing—which, ipso facto, only proved that superiority.

An apostate.
