If somone changes their support for Ron that fast then they were not a supporter in the first place. Everyone of us KNOWS this is bull and would not even consider the possibility of this being true, its been vetted, its all bull, and we know it. To magically change sides that fast without it even being investigated is all I need to know about this persons supposed support for Ron Paul. Its just like all those fake supporters who can no longer support Ron now because of the video attack on Huntsman, made by Huntsman's very own daughters. They were never Ron Paul supporters in the first place and just slinging mud to prop up the establishment canidate that they do support.
Oh don't go with that bullshit "you aren't a true supporter!" retort. Cognitive dissonance like that doesn't get anyone anywhere and only makes us look bad. I can tell you definitely that this person was a supporter. This stuff about the newsletters wasn't new to the person I am talking about, but the media have gone after this story so much and befuddled just about everyone with their perfidy at times. My impression is that for people like him this story brought down their last wall of dissent to the overwhelming anti-Paul echo chamber of the media. Honestly, I myself was shaken a bit by the report.
Now, I am trying to talk to that person about it, but the reality is that there are indeed people who have supported Ron Paul, yet because of some disagreement with him change their minds. I am personally aware of it happening in several cases. One thing I don't do is tell them they never honestly supported Ron Paul in the first place. The maker of the Huntsman video was different because it was a blatant setup, but if some people less cynical about politics and the media bought into the hype that does not mean they did not truly support Paul.
We have to understand that this is much bigger than one election. This campaign is going up against all the machinery of the corporate and political establishment and seeking to expose, then end, their various misdeeds. It is to be expected that disinformation and propaganda will be used to break the weakest of his supporters then slander the rest. Going after every person that is taken with hate and accusatory language will only play into the hands of those seeking to defame our cause.
Now, on another matter I have looked a bit into Renae Hathway and found the following link, it's a Google cache since the actual page is gone:

What we have there is a report saying she was a "subscription manager" not someone involved in the actual editing of the newsletter. More to the point it is noted that she was not working there the entire time, as she started working there in 1991. Quite a bit of the most horrific material was before she was there. You also have the fact that no mention is made of how long she was there. If she had left a year later, for instance, she may not have even been around when any of the offensive material was published. Of course, it also doesn't change that her role means she was less like to know the ins and outs of the editing process for the newsletter so her statement Paul proof-reading them may only attest to what Paul himself has said, that he occasionally read them.
After 20 years people tend to be less clear about things like this, especially the frequency of something. I couldn't tell you with any level of certainty how often I saw something or did something even just one year ago.
