Quote from John_Wensink:
This ad is so scummy it belongs in the democrat playbook.
Another reason why I would never vote for ron paul.
Reuters) - Republican presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman and members of his family expressed outrage on Friday at an advertisement targeted at his adopted daughters by a group supporting rival Ron Paul.
An online ad authored by "NHLiberty4Paul" shows footage of Huntsman with daughters Gracie, who was adopted from China, and Asha, adopted from India, when they were infants.
"American values. Or Chinese," the ad asks to a soundtrack of Chinese music. It calls Huntsman "the Manchurian Candidate" and ends with an image of Huntsman dressed as China's former communist leader Mao Zedong, and the words "Vote Ron Paul."
Do you do any research or do you just swallow it whole?
Consulting Firm: Video Attributed to Paul Supporters Probably Created by Huntsman Operatives -
January 8, 2012
Ron Paulâs presidential campaign has hired a consulting firm to analyze the YouTube video critical of John Huntsman attributed to Paulâs supporters.
The analysis conducted by CanDo.com concludes that the video was posted by Huntsman supporters, not Ron Paul supporters. It was intended to provoke a backlash against Paulâs campaign.
Huntsman supporters in New Hampshire in October.
CanDo.com says it reached the conclusion because the YouTube account on which it was posted, NHLiberty4Paul, has no other videos and the video was posted on the same day the account was created. A Twitter account associated with the account was also created on the same day.
In addition, Huntsmanâs campaign site, jon2012.com, linked to the video a day before it was picked up on Facebook, Gawker, RedState and before the establishment media attempted to denigrate Ron Paulâs supporters.
âAfter researching the available evidence, we believe it is likely that the video came from a source within or closely tied to the Huntsman Campaign,â CanDo.com concludes.
Here is CanDo.comâs summary:
Since no direct link to the video exists on Jon2012.com, how could YouTube show Jon2012.com as the referring site? Our best guess is that someone used a server on the Jon2012.com domain (such as webmail) to read an email that contained the link to the video. It is also likely that the first mobile views at that same time originated from links in emails. Clicking on a link from a webmail system on Jon2012.com would provide the needed headers for YouTube to record the link. â¦
Based on the evidence above and the coincidental timing of the release and subsequent events, it seems likely that a party close to the Huntsman campaign posted and distributed this video impersonating a Ron Paul supporter in order to cast Ron Paul and his campaign in a negative light.
