It isn't spin, State laws already preempt local ordinances--ask any lawyer or judge (psst even the Dim-ocrat ones will agree on that). Salon is fake news just like CNN and MSDNC.

No shit, the article is pointing out the hypocrisy of Republicans, US states being unitary governments that can preempt local laws doesn't make the Republicans any less hypocritical. Indeed, it goes to show even more that Republicans are authoritarians who are willing to crush local opposition who then hypocritically use Libertarian rhetoric.

One problem with that theory.  The vast majority of Republicans and Conservatives more generally are not libertarians or even moved by libertarian rhetoric.  That is only one subset of the over all movement. In fact the governor in question is a known social conservative.  Social conservatives are an other subset of the over all movement, btw.  So you've now failed twice.  First for citing Salon as if it were credible and second for bringing up libertarianism against someone who isn't even a libertarian.
