I posted this article regarding the Dec 18th Tea Party Patriots forum and straw poll to a tea party thread, and challenged the REP supporters to credibly answer any of the six concerns raised in that article.  Rather than responding with reasonable dialogue, within two hours the hardcore tunnel-vision-with-blinders-on REP fans were committing any number of logical fallacies in the process of trying to ignore my basic question.  And in pointing out that particular fact, I received an object lesson in how thin-skinned the PaulBots tend to be, as well as their proclivity to talk in cognitively dissonant circles once you've cornered them on the logic and the facts.  (It actually took a full 23 hours to get a reasonable response from a REP supporter.)
