Heh!
One thing you can always count on: if you ask questions of the Ron Paul crowd - even rhetorical ones - you'll never come away empty handed.
Among the many emails I received in response to my post the other day about why the Paulites seem to go out of their way to harass Rudy Giuliani, the consensus is that it stems from Giuliani's initial smackdown of Paul in the first debate. Here's a sample:
This dates back to the first Fox News debate, when Rudy Giuliani violated the debate format and interjected while Ron Paul was speaking to critique Ron Paul's answer to a question. The Fox News moderators did little to stop him, but regardless, he was still speaking out of turn. Furthermore, Ron Paul supporters found the actual content of his comments pretty offensive. In later debates, Rudy Giuliani could be heard laughing repeatedly while Ron Paul responded to questions. Rudy apparently does not believe that "blowback" exists, so Ron Paul supporters are demonstrating the concept for him. Rude? Absolutely. But Ron Paul supporters are not too concerned with Giuliani's feelings.
