A lot of the moonbattery is not him. Many of the "controversies" are invented, based on people misstating what he said, or substituting questions people ask him, for what he actually said. They do this because a lot of anti-war groups have hung onto him because he is pretty anti-war. But he's not anti-war because he believes in strange conspiracy theories. He voted against both Iraq wars (I & II). He voted against going into Kosovo. The only one he supported was the war in Afghanistan... because that was self-defense.

Whether you agree with the policy or not, its based on sound reason, not moonbattery. For my part, his anti-war policy is one of the only ones that put me on the fence about him... but I just can't be a one issue voter two elections in a row.
