No matter how ANYONE colors this primary, or voting, Ron Paul's message is now being heard by many more people than anyone would have thought when this began.

That was a good speech. I guess you already know about Huntsman's dirty tricks campaign against Ron. The deal about his adopted daughter?
Huntsman Complicit in False Flag-Style Dirty Trick Against Paul http://www.theendrun.com/huntsman-complicit-in-false-flag-style-dirty-trick-against-paul
YouTube stats show that Huntsmans 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.

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, Huntsmans campaign released a tacky, glib Twilight Zone attack ad in a desperate bid to steal Ron Paul voters, in the words of Infowars.coms Paul Joseph Watson.
Now, just days later, a ridiculous, pathetic joke of a video has been posted to YouTube entitled John Huntsmans Values. The one minute video, which was posted two days ago (Jan 4), features clips Huntsman speaking Mandarin, images of him with his adopted Chinese and Indian daughters, and Photoshopped images mixing Huntsmans 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 Huntsmans faith and American Values, referencing his adopted daughters, and calling him The Manchurian Candidate.
An idiotic video if ever there was one, and one that would normally get virtually no attention except by people wanting to marvel at the stupidy.
Now for the rub: The concluding caption is American Values And Liberty Vote Ron Paul. Starting to smell the stink yet?
The video was uploaded by a user called NHLiberty4Paul on Wednesday, January 4. A quick look at the users channel page (archived here as a backup) shows that the account was created the exactly same day that the video was uploaded. This brand new, anonymous user has, of course, zero other uploads.
Furthermore, according to the publicly-viewable stats provided by YouTube, the very first place this video was posted was Jon Huntsmans campaign website, Jon2012.com. This was done on November 4, the very day the video was uploaded to YouTube, and before the video had received any traffic from other sites.
Huntsmans people then immediately came out condemning the video and calling on Ron Paul to disavow it, as though he had anything to do with it or even knew about it. An article published on the website of the Salt Lake Tribute on January 5, the day after it was posted, reads:
Huntsman to Paul: Disavow manchurian candidate ad with Chinese daughter
Jon Huntsmans campaign is asking Rep. Ron Paul to disavow a YouTube spot posted by a supporter that questions whether the former Utah governor is loyal to the United States or China and features shots of his adopted Chinese daughter, Gracie Mei, and an image of Huntsman superimposed wearing a Communist uniform.
The ad is offensive and the Paul campaign and their supporters should condemn it, Huntsman spokesman Tim Miller said Thursday night after the clip began circulating.
(Continued here.)
The same day, the video was posted to the front page of RedState.com, where smear artist Leon H. Wolf used it as an excuse to attack Ron Paul and his supporters. With absolutely no proof and zero skepticism regarding who created the video, Wolf tells his readers that this video was created by Ron Paul supporters and provides yet more evidence that they are mostly liberal Democrats who are mad that Obama has governed too far to the right.
Clearly Pauls supporters are smarting a bit from finishing well behind a guy with no money and no campaign organization in Iowa, which was their one and only chance to win a state, and are letting their true colors show, Wolf added.
The video was also posted to Breitbart.tv on January 5th, where, again, with zero proof or skepticism, it was attributed it to an independent group supporting Ron Pauls candidacy, and was said to illustrate some of the more fervent energy on behalf of the candidate. They later added:
UPDATE: Weve received suggestions from some readers that this video was created to troll Ron Paul supporters and make them look bad. It appears that the YouTube account was created just one day ago. There is no way to know for sure whether this was created sincerely on behalf of Dr. Paul or as a dirty trick against his followers. As always, we will let our readers decide.
Huntsman himself foreshadowed an upcoming attack on Ron Paul in a recent interview on CNN. Referring to a recent tweet by a Ron Paul staffer poking fun at his poor showing in Iowa, Huntsman and Piers Morgan laughed through the following exchange:
HUNTSMAN: Just tell Dr. Paul that I owe him a tweet in return, and he should be he should be expecting one some time soon.
MORGAN: I think you should do what Mitt Romney does and get the dirty work done by somebody else. Perhaps in your case your daughters could unleash themselves on Twitter on him. I think that might be a better way of doing it. Keep your hands out of it.
HUNTSMAN: Theyve got plenty theyve got plenty up their sleeves Piers, and you might be surprised at what they release in the next few days.
MORGAN: No, Im hearing Im hearing noises of more stuff coming. I cant wait.
Watch the video here:
Despite all of this evidence that this is a false flag-style dirty trick set up by OPPONENTS of Paul with the complicity of or even at the direction of of the Huntsman campaign, the corporate media is now running with this story and attributing the video to Paul supporters, and in some cases even the actual Ron Paul campaign itself, while allowing Huntsman to play the victim. Examples:
Huntsman objects to ad by Paul backers featuring adopted daughters Washington Post/AP, Dec 6
Huntsman outraged at ad targeting adopted daughters Reuters, Dec 6 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.
Pro-Ron Paul ad mocks Jon Huntsmans adopted Chinese daughter San Fransisco Chronicle, Dec 6
Jon Hunstman denounces ad showcasing his adopted daughters Guardian, Dec 6 Ad posted to YouTube by pro-Ron Paul group labels Huntsman as un-American for adopting girls from China and India
Huntsman Slams Web Video Featuring Adopted Daughters Fox News, Dec 6 Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman slammed a group purportedly backing Ron Paul after it released a Web video that included footage of Huntsmans adopted daughters and questioned whether he represented American values.
Jon Huntsman objects to video supporting Ron Paul that calls him Manchurian candidate Boston Globe, Dec 6
Ron Pauls Negative Ad Blitz The Atlantic Wire, Dec 6
Cindy McCain, whose husband, Senator John McCain, just endorsed Mitt Romney yesterday, jumps in on the action, acting as though this video was posted by Ron Pauls campaign, tweeting: I deeply resent the video made using the adopted daughters of @johnhuntsman. @ronpaul shame on you. Fox News and ABC make this tweet headline news.
The Paul campaign has, of course, already explained that they had nothing to do with this video, nor do they support it at all.
Pauls New Hampshire spokeswoman, Kate Schackai: The video was utterly distasteful and no one who actually supports Dr. Pauls principles would have made it
Pauls campaign chairman, Jesse Benton: The video is disgusting [whoever] put that up should remove it immediately.
Nevertheless, CNNs John King right after attempting to link Paul to racists and anti-Semites felt the need to show this video to millions on national TV, with captions calling it a political ad. Paul, of course, denounced the video, and pointed out the absurdity of asking him to answer for it. He apparently hadnt even seen it yet. (The relevant section starts around the 6:40 mark, but I recommend watching the full video.)
(John Kings wife, CNN journalist Dana Bash, recently let it slip that she is personally worried about Ron Pauls campaign.)
Meanwhile, this story has generated more positive press for Huntsman than money could buy. Endearing images of him with his adopted daughters are all over the media, along with quotes of him explaining how he heroically saved them from a bleak fate.
Furthermore, one of Huntsmans (biological) daughters the ones who just days ago he hinted had plenty up their sleeve and that you might be surprised at what they release in the next few days has already gone on national TV denouncing the video as vile and promoting Huntsman as a family man.
This is a priceless Jon Huntsman campaign ad, running in every newspaper and on every TV screen nationwide, for free. Cui Bono?
UPDATE #1: Some anonymous person (AN APPARENT SANTORUM SUPPORTER!) has now created the YouTube account NH4Santorum and uploaded the same video there, calling on viewers to vote for Santorum. NH4freedomRomney has also appeared (OBVIOUSLY CREATED BY A ROMNEY SUPPORTER!). It too features the China Jon ad, and calls on viewers to vote for Mitt Romney. Will the media now ask these candidates to disown the video, or will they suddenly be perfectly capable of seeing how ridiculous that is? The answer is obvious.
UPDATE #2: A couple months ago, Huntsmans daughters made a viral video spoofing Herman Cains smoking ad:
Here is a Washington Post headline from a month later (Dec 1): John Huntsmans strange viral video strategy. The article begins, In their latest video, three daughters of former Utah governor Jon Huntsman rap insults about the rest of the GOP presidential field to the tune of Justin Timberlakes SexyBack.
UPDATE #3: A reader has e-mailed me to point out that the offending Jon Huntsmans Values video was tagged jon2012girls by whoever operates the NHLiberty4Paul account.
jon2012girls is the online moniker of Huntsmans daughters, which they use on YouTube and Twitter. Their Cain spoof video carries the same tag. (Like the info in Update #2, these are just facts take from them what you will.)
UPDATE #4: Some people are going wild over a thread on a web forum which purports to be an exchange between Huntsman campaign insiders, one of whom supposedly got a call from the big man himself to thank him/her personally for creating the China Jon video. The thread is an obvious fake/parody. If its not obvious enough just by reading the thing, please note that, earlier today, there were only TWO TOTAL THREADS in the entire Jon Huntsman Forum (on this random website which says at the top Be Anonymous Registration is not required to post), including the thread in question. The other thread was entitled Great plan to get rid of ron paul supporters FOREVER!. It reads: Even when ron paul loses big time, his supporters will still be a thorn in the side of the status quo. We need to get rid of these people forever. I propose that after Huntsman is elected, he nukes iran, which will quickly result in WW3. At this time we can force a military draft, ship all them ron paul hippies to the middle east and use them as cannon fodder. JUST LOOK AT THESE NUTS IN THE PICTURE!!! THEY ARE A DANGER TO AMERICAS FREEDOMS . Do people really think this is how Huntsman supporters talk? Its obvious satire. These anonymous internet users are not real Huntsman campaign insiders, just like the creator of the China Jon video is not a real Ron Paul supporter.
Not knocking him but he's not fluent, from what I can tell.
That is interesting because you can be sure the presstitutes would never expose that. They love the illusion that he is highly talented for the consumption of the Amerikan Ostrichsheep.
