The website says
“Friedman says he is not an absolutist rights theorist but is also “not a utilitarian,” but believes that “utilitarian arguments are usually the best way to defend libertarian views”.
The quote omits words in the middle of the passage, hence is not a correct quote. The actual passage reads:
“I believe that utilitarian arguments, or consequentialist arguments more generally, are usually the best way to defend libertarian views.”
It isn’t a seriously misleading misquote, but it does miss the fact that I am proposing consequentialist arguments, not specifically utilitarian ones.

Thank you, Dr. Friedman, for your comment. The text will be revised to include the complete quote. Thank you again for taking the time to help make NWE a valuable information resource.
