If this gets shifted to Huntsman, and it may well in the next day or so, it will hurt him badly. People hate this sort of crap.

The ad itself is just silly, really, but the desperation is so bush league to make a play like this.
 
Huntsman's job is not to increase his popularity. There'll be no Huntsman Surge. His job is to damage Paul. Just like Bachmann last week. She eventually lost all credibility, but only after inflicting damage on Paul's campaign. This partly allowed Santorum to rise in Iowa. Huntsman is beating up on Paul so Santorum can rise. I think it's all coordinated by RNC. They will get rewards in next admin for cooperating. I expect Rick Perry to pull a dirty trick on Paul in SC. That's why he changed his mind and got back in the race.
 
The fact of the matter is, that was home video footage from Jon Huntsmans personal life. There is a reference from Jon2012girls, and the video quality is very sub par. The editing appears to be the same as other Huntsman Ads.

While I truly believe it was produced by Huntsman's daughters, we shouldn't make a claim without irrefutable evidence to back it. However, we need to fight this by presenting what we do have, and making it clear that a Ron Paul supporter's actions are not what Ron Paul practices. Nor can he be blamed and/or ostracized for another individuals actions.
 
While in the world of responsible journalism, I would agree you'd want perfect proof, I think the circumstantial case being delivered vigorously is enough to throw doubt upon the question. Besides, campaigns are won and lost upon having information believed to be true at the exact right time.

Considering the timed evidence of the origins, and looking at the motive, considering no campaign has any reason to engage Huntsman because he is A) a threat to no other candidate and B) polling so low, I'd say the argument is strong enough that readers would consider this being true.

And it is worth pushing a bit because if Huntsman collapses those are votes we may get.

AngelaTC - First, this isn't about you. And Bush won, so you're encouraging this? Put your duct tape back on, beauty queen.

The thread is clearly fake, put out as a joke. The jon2012.com referral is because jon2012.com has a twitter feed and NHLibert4Paul tweeted this to @JonHuntsman Jan 4. "Update 1/6/12: Several people have emailed us to point out that the first referral to the video, according the YouTube statistics, is from "jon2012.com" — Huntsman's campaign site. Huntsman campaign spokesperson Tim Miller tells us in response, "All tweets that tag @JonHuntsman show up on our site. So someone saw it here."

Gee. What do you know? A perfectly valid explanation.

So how about all those conspiracy theories now?

You people are embarrassing and humiliating Dr Paul and our entire movement with your unsubstantiated accusations. Shame on you. Have you ever heard the saying, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"? This reminds me of when Herman Cain accused Perry of leaking his harassment story. What an embarrassment. :mad:
 
This will not matter anything in a few days time and Ron Paul should ignore it. I dont think this media tactic is going to affect Ron's second place position in NH. We are pissed because of how dishonest and unfair the media is. I don't think the average NH voter really cares too much about this whole contrived story. At least, I hope they don't.
 
BTW, I don't think this was a stunt by Jon Hunstman or his campaign but they sure are using it to their advantage, which is typical for a campaign that is fast coming to an end and is in desperation mode.
 
Just remember that on Piers Morgan, Huntsman declared that they would be getting back at Paul over the jab taken at him over twitter.

This does not constitute proof that his campaign made this video. We need to drop it and move on.
 
Just for your information. This story just hit the german press over here.

The headline of the german SPIEGEL translated:

US Republican Election: Racist campaign against "China John"
America's primary campaign is getting dirty: with racist undertones, a video of Republican candidate Jon Huntsman vilified as agents of China.
Probably followers of the radical-liberal opponent Ron Paul have created the clip.

This isn't going to get us anywhere we don't have any allies in the MSM that would take this on. They already call us kooks and trying to explain this won't help that image right or wrong.

Good DP post on this here>> http://www.dailypaul.com/201111/urg...n-campaign-on-this-you-have-no-clear-evidence

The media hates us why would they report this circumstantial evidence to try to help us? they won't! I say we drop it and move on they got us and the campaign didn't handle it well.
