My favorite part (last paragraph awesome!):


Ron Paul supporters were particularly peeved, with one man refusing to leave even as party officials tried to push him out the door.

"This is a fraudulent event," Evan Donoghue, 29, shouted at party officials who briefed the waiting crowd on the religious rules. "You are letting all these people know you are a religious bigot."

Donoghue eventually gained access to the caucus but only after several skirmishes with security guards, party officials and even Assemblyman John Hambrick, R-Las Vegas, who was volunteering at the event.

The dustup prompted others to jump in.

"You want to take him out, take me out, too, you son of a bitch," Alan Kaplan, 83, yelled toward Hambrick while the assemblyman was blocking Donoghue's path.

Anyone know Mr. Kaplan? He seems like he'd make a good interview.

Kaplan, Jewish name. What do you know! An old Jewish man sticking up for a Ron Paul supporter. This is why we need to abandon all these perceptions about groups and whether their members are on "our side" or not.

That line should be the motto for our movement. Essentially it sums up our campaign. Love it, way to go Mr. Kaplan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
