he shown himself to be totally anti-war, particularly when the US is or has been acting in a strong occupation role vs. an assistance role.

Obama using drones and black ops and Obama's generally militaristic attitude as CoC would cause someone like Stone to comment strongly against the president.

As for calling anyone who disagrees a racist... well that even happens here to people who are clearly not racist, but will be called such if they disagree with Obama's warring or disgruntled about his constant caving to Republicans while lambasting progressives/liberals. Which gives credence to that comment, imo.

I personally would imagine so, because he's just that kinda guy.

And why does it matter? The message to me is always the pertinent topic, not the messenger. His message at this moment seems reasonable and based in factual experiences of many. That's really all that matters regarding your OP.
