It's never smart for your supporters to be rude. Never. It can be a real problem for a campaign. The candidates don't really control what supporters do, of course, but where organization is involved, there should be some thought given to it.

I don't really care whose supporters did something stupid. I'll criticize that whenever it occurs.
