Steve Jobs, Eric Schmidt, Intel heads and so on are/were libertarians? News to me (and them I imagine).

Eric Schmidt in particular is an Obama donor and adviser, and since 2008, chairman of the New America Foundation, which "does not believe in immediate government deficit reduction; it believes that will only make the situation worse. Instead, as stated in the paper, it has other suggestions, including investing in a sustained infrastructure program, lasting from five to seven years, to create jobs and demand."

Sounds extremely right-wing libertarian to me! /s

The whole article was rife with made-upisms. For example, plenty of libertarians believe in intellectual property.

I hear some communists also believe in the private ownership of the means of production too.

eh, that one's real. It's a wedge issue, and there are not entirely unreasonable libertarian arguments for IP. I happen to totally disagree with them, because they're wrong, but I sympathize with the libertarian that believes in IP.
