The word "racism" appears once in that article, here:
The Mises circuit is in fact full of people who celebrate the old South and confederate politics. To do so isn't necessarily racist (though let's be honest, David Duke is about as racist as they come). I know because I used to be an old South kind of libertarian, but I've never been remotely attracted to racist ideology or rhetoric.
I really don't see what a libertarian can object to in that article.

Mr. Paul says he abhors racism, has never visited the institute and should not have to answer for the more extreme views of all of those in the libertarian orbit.

It's implicit at every turn, come on. When you randomly bring up Lysander Spooner to say he condemned the Civil War as an act of blatant militarism it's solely for the purpose of painting a racist picture.
