Regarding Rev Wright, I think the notion of forming an anti-imperialist alliance is a fantastic idea. I think there is a lot of common ground in the rhetoric of Paul and Wright. I don't find Wright to be anywhere close to Alex Jones in terms of psychotic paranoia baggage. I also think the OP's point about how this alliance could do a lot to mitigate Paul's exposed flank as a racist (thanks a lot Lew, ya prick) makes a helluva lot of sense.
The rev has collectivist baggage, sure. But so what? Mainstream discourse in America is overwhelmingly collectivist. I think there's definetely room under a "restore the republic" tent for both Wright and Paul. (But Alex Jones can fuck right off, imo)
