Why should the GOP be concerned about a fringe candidate who's largest base of support is made up of Digg users? Come on!

You know, this makes my paranoia come out, and now I'm thinking that anyone who writes in Ron Paul on an election ballet will be added to a list somewhere. In other words, anyone who still plans on voting for Ron Paul, you should also plan on every flight you make from now until Ron Paul becomes president, to take about 4 hours longer when dealing with TSA.

Why would they do this. That is a rediculous statement. Just because you vote for Ron Paul doesnt mean anything.
It definatly doesnt mean you are a threat to the USA.
But if the people are that blind then I guess we get what we deserve sadly.

I'm pretty sure they are worried about Ron Paul because when you put someone like McCain next to Ron Paul, or compare a speech by Ron Paul with McCain then people quickly realize who is the real deal and who is feeding them a bunch of lines.
Ron Paul made the other guys look silly in the debates. He just plain out told the truth of what was going on with things and when you put the establishment "We will make it better" promises next to it, then your "guy" ends up looking like someone who is shallow and passing along BS.
If he was fringe before this election, he certainly isn't anymore.
Personally, I am glad the establishment has to do all these things to push him out. It draws attention to the corruption and shows the cards the republicans are holding to many people.
They target Ron Paul supporters because if you support Ron Paul then it means you do not buy into the party line. It means you are not easily controllable. And while most McCain supporters are reduced to name calling and personal attacks, the majority of Ron Paul supporters can sit and debate the subjects and just like the debates on TV, when you get that the McCain support ends up looking silly.
I noticed today MSNBC put out a hit piece on Ron Paul supporters focusing on 9/11 truthers. Which I find funny, because I seem to remember that is what I was always told about the democrats in 2004. Of course MSNBC picks out the worse arguments and tries to paint the entire deal with that single image. Typical media manipulation. They will quote someone all day saying "There were no planes", but they sure won't quote an engineer or such in public.
In order for the veil to be dropped people have to see the truth. And the only way that will happen is the corruption becomes obvious. And the only way that can happen is for things like the treatment of Ron Paul to actually happen in public eyes. So I am kind of glad it's happening. I donated $2300 to Ron Paul and I've gotten way more than my money's worth from it.
