CPAC Civil War: Ron Paul Supporters Scream “War Criminal” At Dick Cheney

(By Jon Bershad, Mediaite) - Things should have been nice and chummy at CPAC [yesterday]. Dick Cheney strolled on stage to cheers and the inspirational tune of Tina Turner’s “Simply the Best” and began to present the “Defender Of The Constitution” award to Donald Rumsfeld. However, as the chants of “USA! USA!” died down, a voice screaming “War criminal!” could be heard. And then, as Cheney continued to talk up his former colleague, a shouting match began between supporters of Ron Paul and the rest of the convention hall.
