Vile Ron Paul Supporter Ad Attacks Huntsman for Speaking Chinese and Adopting
I am infuriated, appalled and disgusted by this video made by Ron Paul supporters (it is not an official campaign video):
The vile video seems to suggest that Jon Huntsman is less of an American and shares less American values because he speaks Chinese and served his country as an ambassador to China. Oh, and because he adopted a daughter from there too.
WTF?
All three of the things these Paul supporters are disgustingly trying to hammer Huntsman for are either benefits to Huntsman’s candidacy or so personal that it should be off the table anyway.
I hope Ron Paul comes out an denounces this ad that supporters did on his behalf, but he hasn’t exactly been known to refute the ridiculous and now vile things his allies say.

Some people are really gullible (I’m looking at you, Brandon).
Are you so desperate for anything to use against Ron Paul that you’d link to this horrible video put up by some anonymous internet troll whose YouTube account goes all the way back to … yesterday? Looks like you are. How pathetic.
So…? Supporters of every candidate do stupid things and I don’t expect the candidate to apologize for it.
There’s no point holding a candidate responsible for what a supporter he doesn’t even know says.
Ron Paul on Jay Leno said positive things about Huntsman in being a reasonable man, and being more diplomatic on war.
I know it’s politics as usual to hang a candidate by the worst associations and supports. But try not to overlook those that are decent people that support him too. The majority of Ron Paul’s base are similar and the same young anti war, pro-tolerance supporters that liked Kucinich, and Obama.
If you read the comments Ron Paul supporters are already denouncing the video. I expect Ron will do the same, although he has no control over what a few dumb supporters do.
Give me a break. Ron Paul shouldn’t have to apologize and take credit for everything his supporters do. Why don’t you talk about policy or real issues? Oh yeah, that’s right, because you don’t have anything else to attack Ron Paul on.
Trolls pretend to be Paul supporters all the time.
So it’s not by the Ron Paul Campaign but some guy who support him and you are discussing this because?lol
I find it funny how Ron Paul has somehow become the father and mother of every human being that support him. He is to take responsibility for their actions and thoughts and whatever else they do. Let’s hope that guy is not a pedophile than Ron Paul would be in big trouble. I can already see the headline. Ron Paul promotes pedophilia.
Give it a break dude!
Y’all need to chill out.
I said I hope Ron Paul refutes it. He is not accountable for everything ever supporter says, but something like this that is gaining media traction and so disgusting should be refuted. Which is why I said “I hope Ron Paul comes out an denounces this ad.”
Any of you guys disagree with that? If not, then quit freaking out.
The problem is Brandon that you have no idea who this guy is. Anybody can make a youtube comment and pretend to be a supporter of a candidate in order to make him look bad. You should look at the fact that the youtube channel was JUST created, that there are no other videos supporting Ron Paul, and reword this blog to account for it because it is grossly misleading and based on very dubious evidence.
Well, if Ron Paul only had 10 supporters like Huntsman has, it would be a lot easier to control them… Here in reality though, ONE supposed supporter is a pretty stupid thing to use to try and make a candidate look bad. Good try on the article though. Fox may hire you.
John Huntsman probably posted this video himself so he could say all the stuff he’s currently saying about it. See how that works?
“I said I hope Ron Paul refutes it.”
He has no obligation to refute it any more than if a Gingrich or Romney supporter made a stupid ad about Obama.
What’s funny is this video had like 150 views when the Huntsman campaign released a statement at 6:30. I would put it at even money that someone related to Huntsman campaign created and released this video. And no. This isn’t some crazy, wacky Ron Paul conspiracy theory. Given how much Huntsman has been attacking Paul on conspiracy theories and race issues with his web ad and TV ad, I think it is very possible that someone related to his campaign made this ad to draw attention to Huntsman and make Paul seem less viable. Its also possible a crazy Paul supporter made it. I just would put at 50/50 as of right no given the facts.
Who cares what this anti-White Jew thinks? Whites can say he’s been ostracized for adopting foreign children, it’s our age old culture until the Jews took over the media. Deal with it.
Seems to me that someone who doesn’t like Paul had a bit of a Karl Rovian notion on how to get good press for Huntsman and bad press for Paul.

The video comes from Huntman’s own campaign. From Reddit:
The first referral of the video was jon2012.com meaning the sequence of events would be:
1) The video was uploaded to youtube by someone.
2) The video was watched by the person who uploaded it.
3) The video was embedded somewhere on the jon2012.com site.
4) Someone went to the page on the jon2012.com site that had the video and watched it from that page.

Have you even bother to check the video? The account was created the same day and posted only one video. Also check the statistics of the video to find out who view it first. You will be surprised…I am posting the statistics here for you. Do you see who is the first referral after the video was uploaded from /my_videos? It was jon2012.com!
Truth is a truth! Doesn’t matter if you like Ron Paul or not.
Apology TO not FROM Ron Paul is due!

But I’m sure you’re just as infuriated and appalled at Huntsman as you were at Paul, right? After all, your outrage at Paul was sincerely motivated by honest disgust at racism, and that would mean you’re even more outraged at Huntsman, now. So of course we’ll see a big blog post by you an RedState expressing your sincere outrage at John Huntsman for cheapening vile racism like this.
Memo to Paul supporters: Don’t fall for the silly fake website that has people gleefully plotting. It’s a diversion from the real evidence, here, from Reddit:
The first referral of the video was jon2012.com meaning the sequence of events would be:
1) The video was uploaded to youtube by someone.
2) The video was watched by the person who uploaded it.
3) The video was embedded somewhere on the jon2012.com site.

By the way, here’s a very sensible post by a Paul supporter from Daily Paul. Huntsman may not have made the ad, although he was very irresponsible in circulating it, and clearly circulated racist material for his own political gain.

I am an avid Ron Paul supporter, I find this ad disgusting..it does NOT change my view of Dr. Paul, the one man fighting for our liberties, including freedom of speech…even when it’s foul!! I am also tired of false Ron Paul supporters trying to make true supporters look bad. Forget about his supporters and focus on the man. At least now, finally, people are questioning the supporters of other candidates.
