Yes, he's against the war. Good. But organizations like the BNP are also against the right wing.

There are dangers in progressives seeking common cause with the likes of Paul; those who lie with dogs tend to get up with fleas, and there is no room in any progressive movement for ultranationalism, xenophobia, or hard-line economic laissez-faire views.
