So much for maintaining the illusion that this Huntsman guy was above that particular kind of fray.

The End Run posted:

YouTube stats show that Huntsman’s official website was the first website to post the ridiculous, anonymously created “China Jon” video immediately after it was uploaded, yet Huntsman and the corporate media blame Ron Paul supporters for its creation and call on Paul himself to disown it. Meanwhile, Huntman uses it as a means to play the victim and paint himself as a cosmopolitan hero, with full media cooperation.

January 6, 2012

If you thought it would be impossible for Jon Huntsman and the Establishment media to stoop any lower than they already have in their attempts to marginalize and discredit Ron Paul, you thought wrong.

Just last week, Huntsman’s campaign released a “tacky, glib ‘Twilight Zone’ attack ad in a desperate bid to steal Ron Paul voters“, in the words of Infowars.com’s Paul Joseph Watson.

Now, just days later, a ridiculous, pathetic joke of a video has been posted to YouTube entitled “John Huntsman’s Values”. The one minute video, which was posted two days ago (Jan 4), features clips of Huntsman speaking Mandarin, images of him with his adopted Chinese and Indian daughters, and Photoshopped images mixing Huntsman’s likeness with that of Mao Zedong. (Huntsman was formerly a U.S. Ambassador to China.) The video and images are interspersed with asinine captions questioning Huntsman’s faith and “American Values”, referencing his adopted daughters, and calling him “The Manchurian Candidate”.


Continues, with sources.

PS: In case there is any question; Yes the Paul campaign wants whomever created and sponsored the ad to take it down. The Paul campaign doesn't know who put it up and is still assuming that it was a wayward Paul supporter, but would also like the media to do their part in finding out such information.

I'm not a Huntsman fan at all but this was a low blow. Whoever made it should be ashamed. I'm not sure how people can twist that into an attack on Ron Paul. Kind of lame. Huntsman is the victim here and any attempt to say otherwise is almost as bad as the first smear.

So it's the Paulista's position that Huntsman made a fake video discrediting himself, then posted it on YouTube to blame it on Ron Paul's supporters...and their proof is that Huntsman linked it to his own website really quickly?

Some days you could almost forget that the truthers are Ron Paul's Royal Guard. Today isn't one of those days apparently.

Do you know how to read? It isn't the paulista's position, it's reality...


It was first posted on Hunstman site...


You think a Ron Paul supporter made it, hacked into Huntsman's site (without leaving a trace), and released it from there???

No, you have this fundamentally wrong as the bolded word indicates. The video doesn't "discredit" Huntsman, it smears him with demagoguery. The typical & appropriate reaction to a smear is to side with the person smeared.

HTH

EDIT.

Apparently it was all done by Huntsman and his campaign in an attempt to make Ron Paul and his supports look bad. Guess Hunstman is a sore looser.

It's a shame this kind of tripe gets any play what so ever and Hunstmans daughter should be ashamed of themselves.
