A steady stream of Texas Rep. Ron Paul's supporters walked out of a planned tribute for Donald Rumsfeld at CPAC Thursday afternoon. The walk-out had been planned ahead of time in part by Campaign for Liberty organizers and it seemed to be supported by more than 100 CPAC attendees.
The former defense secretary was also booed when took to the stage. There seemed to be a back-and-forth between Paul supporters and other CPAC attendees trying to drown each other out while Rumsfeld watched.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney then took the stage, but the heckling did not stop in what was an amazing display of friction. Someone in the crowd yelled to Cheney above the din "draft dodger." Nonetheless, the crowd is overwhelmingly warm to Rumsfeld, who eventually took his place in the presentation.

Paul followers are real scum.
I don’t agree on everything with Rumsfeld, but the oomPauloompas are out of line here.
I’m here at CPAC doing a booksigning, and the “Anti-War” nuts are just everywhere. I wonder how the Paulites get so many people infiltrated into this meeting??
The Paul supporters should get their own event, the LPAC- Libtardarian Political Action Committee.
Buncha loonytarians!
I was very disappointed that Michelle Bachman wanted anything to do with this sorry-ass bunch.
Ah, let us not forget "their" accepting as "one of them," the BOTTOM-FEEDING, Islamo-Fascist, Hamas/Hizbollah, supporting, SCUMBAG (and one who has caused tremendous damage to our Republic)...phony, pseudo "Conservative," Grover Norquist.
Wrong.
Paul fans would die for freedom.
Code Pinkos would kill to stop it.
Watching events out of CPAC this year has been a lot like watching a tractor inner-tube deflate.
Deflated inner-tubes are unable to support much.
And so goes the deflated CPAC...
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss...
Precisely why after 4 CPAC’s I quit going this yr. ...bunch of ignorant kids who were told Ron Paul is the guy and they drank the kool aid.........scared me that these younguns are allowed to vote.
When does a Paulhriod fight for freedom? When the foreign forces are actually inside our borders?
/ rhetorical question...cause we all know they are crazy
That is sad, the guy has spent his whole life serving this country. It isn’t like he is running for office or wants to force his views.
He is only sharing his view.
Very disrespectful.
It make you wonder what is in the water at Lake Jackson, Texas which compels those people to keep reelecting this America blaming traitor.
Is Lake Jackson a community of head shops and Taco Bells?
Hey! Who are you calling crazy!
Paul would watch our Middle East allies be overrun by the Muslim Brotherhood from the safe confines within U.S. borders, while Medea would prefer a Jane Fonda VC tank-style front row seat, while cheering her co-jihadists onto caliphate victory.
The result would be the same, but they definitely differ in their style.
Ron Paul was an Air Force flight surgeon, and has been the most consistent pro-Constitution Congressman in office during this century. He makes mistakes, and goofy statements once in a while, but he's at least 95% right and is a staunch pro-life, conservative, pro-freedom Constitutionalist.
Paul has the most conservative voting record of any member of Congress since 1937.
Geez, do they have the interwebs where you live?
Paul supporters will never walk out of a GOP Proud meet.
No surprise. The Paulverts have always been loons.
These people are just plain silly.
