this came from Huntsman's campaign... click on the page, click the graph icon to the lower right of the video itself, note the first external reference comes right from Jon Huntsman's campaign website, then note the user who posted it signed up that very same day, then note all his favorited videos are pro-Huntsman

if that's a real Paul supporter I'm the Queen of England

Paul as a "true 'murcan" and not a commie pinko Chinese-talking Obama adminstration ambassador. Yes, it would cause most normal people to reject such an ad but it is republicans who are the consumers here.

Good golly, the man served as ambassador to China, and was apparently very well qualified to do so.

Knowing the language of the country to which you are appointed ambassador is now some kind of "anti-American" thing?

I disagree with Huntsman's politics, but he strikes me as a sane, decent person who served this country exceptionally well in an important diplomatic post in successive administrations.

He is of a much higher caliber than the other Republican candidates, and does not deserve this sort of thing.

This attack ad speaks volumes about Ron Paul. What a lowlife.

Huntsman has half-heartedly pandered to the crazies on a few economic issues, but you can tell his heart isn't in it. He would be a very formidable candidate were the inmates not running the Repuke asylum. Unfortunately for him he believes in science, climate change, doesn't hate gays and seems to be a rational and sane person with whom one can rationally and reasonably disagree. And that ain't sellin' over in freepertown.

And it is not from a Paul assocated PAC.

Since there are 10,001 horrible things directly connected to Ron Paul, highlighting a you tube video some supporters (or other troblemakers who may even be against Paul) made kind of misses the point.

I would hate to see every youtube video a supporter of President Obama ever made being identified as "Obama's commercial," if you see what I mean.

"The video is disgusting. Whoever put it up should remove it immediately," Paul spokesman Jesse Benton said to CNN.
