Ayn Rand

Why do people hate her so much?  I mean, invoking her name in some circles is tanamount to summoning a demonic clone of hitler, or pissing in their face.  Even if you don't like her philosophy, which is very understandable, she was a good writer.  It just weird how hard the dividing line between people on her is.

To be honest, I don't know where you're getting this crap. No offence intended.

Newborn 13 year old atheists claim to be pro-reason, but that doesn't make the bullshit they spew any more worthwhile. Ayn Rand's thinking is not applicable to any but those who were born under the rule of the tsar in Russia, witnessed the bolshevik's rise to power, and moved to America. The reason people hate her, even if they don't realize it, is because she makes absurd claims (not just "morality") and tries to teach the reader to believe them.
