Us being "rude and boorish" has nothing to do with the outcome of this election, that is just an excuse they give. We can be the most well mannered people in the world, but as long as we don't sit down shut up and accept the party line we will always be "rude and boorish" to them.

It's a just a few people having a little fun.
We need a good laugh every once and a while.

I think the RNC trying to cheat and change the rules to marginalize RP voters is pretty rude and boorish.

that needs to be repeated
The RNC can't expect to cheat, cheat, cheat, then reconcile once that cheating is successful. If I have no option to vote for on the ballot, I might just vote for Obama just to punish the GOP for their serial malfeasance - electoral corruption of such a magnitude that it arguably does rise to the level of treason against the Republic.

Yeah, you're right. It was a few YouTube comments that hurt us the most this election cycle. Definitely not the media bias or poor treatment by the RNC.
Get a sense of humor and then get real, dude.

When the media portrayal of Ron Paul supporters directly matches the behavior of Ron Paul supporters in the largest online social platforms in the world, that provides enough evidence to deter passive voters. Regardless of whether or not your actions pale in comparison to media bias, you can only solve problems within your realm of influence. You can't change the media bias; you can change your actions.
Let's consider a very simple scenario where a few Ron Paul supporters send in blank checks to the RNC. The RNC receives the checks, collectively roll their eyes, and then delivers a statement to the media about the "crazy, youthful Ron Paul zealots" sending in blank check donations. Would you call that media bias? Let's not give them more wood for the fire.
A sense of humor won't win us the presidency; intelligent, strategic planning followed by action will win us the presidency.
Really?....after all the black outs that continue, the local in-fighting, and all the other crap Ron has endured and us supporters as well, you really think playing 'nice' at this point is going to get us anywhere?...if you think that, then we can elect you or someone else to be the 'bend over, here it comes' representative...make sure you keep smiling as they stick it to you.

I always look forward to getting their "push poll" questionaires asking for money. I usually fill them out, not shoosing any of their "obvious" answers and writing in detail what I think about the crap they pull. And then when it gets to the donation part, I usually do similar to the above. Probably never gets read, but it does give me some satisfaction.

Stooping to their level doesn't help our cause. If there is mud slinging and in fighting, outsiders won't know or care who started it; it will only feed the perception that RPers are immature and rash.
On the other hand, standing with grace and dignity in the face of abuse and mistreatment demonstrates the measure of one's character. That's what Dr. Paul does again and again. It's an example we'd be wise to follow.

I approve of this message.
I will NEVER donate anything to the RNC until they're willing to hold fair elections and caucuses. (not holding my breath.)

I agree we shouldn't portray ourselves as insulting and boorish (I question the 'continue to' part). But this is merely saying pointedly that forcing Romney down people's throats, which is argued as a way to CONTINUE funding to the RNC, has consequences. I'm not going to do it, but I don't see any harm in it.

Console yourself with the fact that the TEA Party does the same thing.
