Paul campaign disavows anti-Huntsman ad

Every media report that I've seen showed Ron's comment that he "disavowed" the ad and thought it should be pulled. I haven't seen any media organization claim that Ron was responsible for the ad or condoned it. Even O'Reilly was fair on this issue.

You're calling it an 'ad'. Its not an ad, its a random youtube video. But it's being packaged by the media as an ad. Its not. Stop referring to it as such.

At this point it needs to be used in reprisal as a club against Huntsman, and the media in general. Ron is trying to win New Hampshire.

Someone give me the email of the account and I can trace the IP.
 
the only data in that XML with any worthwhile content are the keywords

I'm not familiar with any youtube exploits. I can however trace an IP from an email address. So the hardest part is finding the email the person registered the account with. We could get to the bottom of this reallll quick

question is how could it be published on the 5th but there were views on the 4th? Was it private and then made public on the 5th? I've tested going from unlisted to public and the published date didn't change. My point is the smoking gun is if it was private on the 4th only approved users could view it then it became public (published) and that is the date it gets. Would the youtube stats list private views too? If this is all true a referral from john huntsman site while private means something then, right?
 
From Ben Swann:

Ok... a little more info for you here... on the Huntsman thing...
a lot of people asking me about what this means...

Just a quick search to find out what "first referral" means. apparently referral does not mean "watches".. it means "embeds"
the first referral, "first embed of the video" was from the person who up placed it on youtube."my_page" 1 view. the second "embed" not "view" was from j...on2012.

This is the defintion I found "When it says 'first referral' it just means that someone copied and pasted your embed code and embedded it on a 3rd party site that possibly is related to your video in the sense that they are both of the same categories, but don't worry. It's a great thing when your video gets embedded on a site out there, you'll get lots of views and a larger audience!"

Wouldn't only an administrator be able to "embed" on a website?
this is not a social networking page, it is a private website.

I can't go "embed" a Reality Check on the Huntsman campaign website.

No doubt there are people on here who are more Youtube savvy than I. If I am wrong, speak up.
 
It's even on yahoo news now so it's a coordinated globalist attack on RP. They would never do this to anyone but Ron Paul. Bring it media. Bring it.

Interesting, I was sitting here wondering what time zone the tube servers are in/or set to but you bring up a good point. You might right...
 
Someone tell Ben that ALL website addresses going through Twitter are linked using the http://t.co domain, and won't show up as the original address as a referral. If you have java scripts disabled, you won't be able to click through to the website. You can see for yourself.

In the case of this specific Tweet, it was http://t.co/sSXkhnn1

This whole thing is ugly. And for the media to take this and run with it just confirms how low and amoral they really are.

And to any NON-Paul supporters out there who might be reading this:

Use your noodle.


A sincere, TRUE Ron Paul supporter would have taken down the video by now, since RP's campaign itself said it was disgusting and called for it to be taken down. And since MANY actual Paul supporters have also asked that it be taken down.

Would a true Ron Paul supporter leave up a video that the campaign itself asked to be taken down? And that is obviously causing trouble, and distracting from more important things? Um, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the answer to that question.

So, to Wolf or anyone else out there who is still pushing this as something by a "Ron Paul supporter" or the campaign itself - you should be ashamed of yourself. You're so transparent, and thankfully more and more people are waking up and seeing through your BS.
