Yeah, but we're not the ones throwing poison in the GOP well either. It's not just with Ron Paul either. Look at some of the horrible anti-Mormon crap and the baiting on the Mitt threads.
Many of us make very positive posts about Fred, Mitt, Duncan, Tanc, etc. If we get a fair shot at the nomination, many (probably a large majority) of us want to support the GOP nominee as long as it isn't that leftwing mayor. But we get the strong impression that we've been drummed out of the GOP here and elsewhere.
If they don't even want our votes, we're not going to run crawling and begging for them to take them.
It's fine not to agree or support Ron Paul. Everyone has their favorites. But utterly trashing Ron Paul and his supporters on dozens, perhaps hundreds, of threads is just extended personal attack. This thread is only a minor sample of it. For another, take a look at this one which some mod placed in Breaking News. When it turned more positive toward Ron Paul and became probably the most popular thread on FR after over a thousand posts, they had to remove it. Apparently, it was doing too well. I suppose that's our fault too.
