[Ron Szoke]

Here's a Weekly Standard article about the Ron Paul gathering in Minneapolis.  
The general tone & genre is routine cutesy-smartass putdown of the weirdos & 
misfits who hold deviant political views.

Even they are ashamed of their candidate's supporters.

Minneapolis
While the press often considers the Ron Paul movement to be chock-full of 
cranks, wackos, and conspiracy theorists, I take a more nuanced view. For me, 
the Ron Paul Revolution is like a cozy winter fire. From a distance, the crackling 
flames of individual liberty and freethinking libertarianism take the chill off 
sterile two-party politics. But get too near the searing embers, and they will 
cause blistering, profuse sweating, and all-around general discomfort.
