Did you ever think you’d see the day when Ron Paul was invited to address an antiwar event? He’s a classic rightwing libertarian at the nexus with fascism. Among his most detestable views are: support for Israel’s blockade of Gaza; extreme racism toward all non-whites; opposition to immigration; opposition to social security for elderly & disabled; opposition to health care for low income children & women; opposition to LGBT rights, women’s reproductive rights, & civil rights; opposition to public education; a belief that those who are sexually harassed or assaulted at work should quit their jobs.

Other participants at the event organized in California by Cindy Sheehan are mostly Assad supporters, as is she. This cannot be considered an antiwar event when it is a symptom of political degeneration.
