What is a "Hunter thread" and a "Rudy thread?" Any thread on someone's candidacy is going to attract people from every side. Otherwise, it's just a mutual admiration society. Besides, I've seen plenty of savage bashing of Hunter and his supporters by Rudycrats.
The one person no one on FR seems to like is McCain. So how does he end up winning some straw polls, and coming in strong on others? Because the Party hacks show up and bias the results. It's hard to imagine any rank-and-file conservative who really wants McInsane.

Look - I have not seen Rudy supporters going on Hunter threads to bash Hunter, maybe there have been exceptions that I don't know about - but clearly the main offenders are those who stalk the Rudy threads. If they come on a Rudy thread to bash Rudy - what do they expect?

That's the point: if you choose to personally insult and attack people - do you really think they are going to be nice to you and respect your views?
