Backlash Comparison: Who's Nuttier, Apple Fanatics or Ron Paul Enthusiasts?
In the past two weeks, THREAT LEVEL reporters have managed to draw the wrath of two different cultural tribes renown for their resolve and certitude: Apple fanatics, and Ron Paul enthusiasts.

Apple fans pummeled Kim for her story on the iPhone's controversial security model, while Ron Paul boosters went after Sarah for her piece on a recent spurt of deceptive spam promoting the Republican presidential candidate. Some representatives from each group got vicious, resorting to personal smears, sometimes laced with misogyny.

4. At least Ron Paul isn't a corporation like Apple.
If I ever start worshipping a corporation, slap me please.

2. I Feel Bad for Ron Paul's Admirers
They're getting so played right now. "Deaniacs" went through this four years ago.
