It was once said: "I have met the enemy and he is us."
Truer words were never said.
I think the libertarian vision is a noble one. It respects people. It sees each individual as an end in himself, and not the means to the ends of others.
With any such set of ideas there is the message and there is the messenger. And rationally it behooves us to keep the two separate. In reality though people often judge the message by the messenger.
The libertarian movement worldwide has some really decent, hardworking, caring individuals at its helm. It also has some kooks, nuts, weirdoes, cultists and certifiable lunatics out there. In other words it's pretty much like the rest of the world.
