Turning the camera on the cameraman

[TruthisTreason]

Has anyone officially established that this man works for the Grayson campaign? Someone should look at the FEC reports.

He parks his car at Grayson's campaign office.

yeah dont cause a scene.. even though my first response when watching was I wanted to punch him in the nose.. Just keep offering him something to eat.. Hes a fat guy he cant keep passing up food forever. hehe

LOL, somebody seriously needs to bring a bunch of different kinds of food... be like, "mmmm look at these delicious ribs soaked in bbq sauce...."

then offer them to him and eat them up...

then be like

"mmmmmmmmmmmm twinkies....."

"oh ya cupcakes!!"

"What...what.what is this?? A fried snickers bar?? Oh my god..."

Can't you just see the Grayson ad: Do you want someone who touches your pancakes? If not, then vote Grayson for Senate.

That can be take so many different ways

 

[Matt Collins]

somebody needs to dress up just like that guy, go everywhere he goes, and stand in the corner filming him.

Who watches the watchers?

 

[itshappening]

so they pay him 500 bucks to follow Rand? seems ridiculous. oh well, keeps him off the streets

 

[dannno]

What if 10 people showed up with cameras and stood around filming him?

I mean, you could probably even hold up your cell phone and just pretend to film him..

 

[dannno]

It would be awesome if all the camera people dressed like him..

As others have said, he is waiting for slip-ups, mistakes, off-color jokes, anything...but at the same time, he is also trying to get an angry response from Rand or a Rand supporter. It's like the paparazzi, follow someone enough, and one day they may be in a bad mood, and you have your prize footage...

 

[georgiaboy]

funny.

y'all need to stop harassing poor Chandler, though. ;-)

At every event, the Paul campaign outta create a special sign or place for Chandler, to make him feel more welcome. Make sure he gets an extension cord for his camera ac adapter, a director's chair, etc.

 

[MRoCkEd]

Yep. This goes without saying but avoid the perception of harassing the dude.

 

[Dionysus]

I think our supporters should offer him a Big Gulp 60 oz soda to show how magnanimous we are, but be careful, those things are easy to spill! In particular, you never want to spill them on electronics.

This. Taking it up a notch is very likely to blow up in your face. I know, because it is entirely my nature to take things up to the n-teenth notch.

I don't think anybody is serious about anything other than having a little fun with the guy. I support the idea of bringing him a "director's chair" for the next event.

In the end, we will need his vote and all his friends' votes in the general election.

Too much self-congratulation on this one. Voters want to see that candidates are focused on the issues facing their State, and the nation.

Campaign hijinx of whatever kind (witty or not) do not play all that well with over 50 voters.

They won't be spending too much time searching youtube.

Did you watch the video?
In it you see Dr. Paul serving/cooking food at a charity event. It plugs that Rand founded a charity that does surgeries for poor people and Mr. Hightower got to ask the Grayson employee if Grayson does any similar charitable work -- no comment. He even got to remind people it was friendly, by offering the guy pancakes. I'd say they handled it perfectly. Not to mention, it plugs the lion's club and I bet their are a fair number of over 50+ people in KY that have directly benefitted that organization.

I fail to see how this video would not go over well with most any crowd.

And it was interesting enough to get picked up and gone somewhat viral, bringing along with the humor, the message that Rand is good, charity-giving guy and his opponent might not be.
