It was Hillary Clinton supporters vs. Ron Paul supporters at a school/polling site in Concord on Tuesday afternoon, as Mrs. Clinton stepped off her campaign bus to work the rope line - and faced very loud catcalls, six feet away, of "a vote for Hillary is a vote for war!"
. . .
And they were simply louder - one Clinton volunteer tried to start a chant of "Hill-a-ree, Hill-a-ree" but she and her allies were drowned out by the Paul supporters shouting, "End the war, end the war" and "Ron Paul Revolution, Give Us Back the Constitution."
. . .
One Hillary supporter asked for "respect" and "courtesy" from a small group of Ron Paul supporters, one of whom replied, "Look we don't have the media on our side - look at all these cameras with her."

Stay classy, Ronpauloompas.
While I see what you're trying to say, any basic devil's advocate argument shows that they don't have the media on their side and historically minority candidates have had to go to extremes, shouting down Hillary Clinton is not what I'd consider an extreme. If this got physical or insults were tossed then it'd be a good example.

I just find it typical of the Ron Paul cultist's method of political discourse in general, as evidenced by a number of trolls who have graced this site in times past and present.

Jeering or Cheering it seems pretty typical of anyone at political rallies.
