Rand Paul is on the record as being in favor of removing the civil rights act and the voting rights act. If anything, I think those acts should be strengthened and more fully enforced.

Sure, there are different kinds of libertarians. And yes, as far as their own civil rights are concerned they are probably all for it. But please read up a bit on where most of them today stand on many issues that are core principles of liberals and core principals of the democratic party.
