It is a game since you are changing the subject from why are Paul supporters feeling put upon to Paul himself. Ron Paul has been discussed to death. There is nothing more to be said about him.

It does concern me, a bit, that all pretense of civility has been thrown to the wind and all threads discussing this candidate become a contest to come up with the most outrageous, most infantile, most shocking insult possible against Paul and anyone who dares not to damn his soul to hell.

It is obvious why Paul supporters may feel abused to anyone with slightest degree of human empathy.

We decry the left's use of terms like "tea bagger" to derisively refer to Tea Party proponents, but I first saw the term used right here on FR on a Ron Paul thread, to refer to the "small governemt" following he had.

The person who coined it seemed quite proud of it, and even included a like to the Wiki article describing it's sexual connotations so that everyone would know what it meant.
