Confirmed: Jon Huntsman is a wanker

No one cares about Huntsman so he has to attack himself...

I had my suspicions about this ad. First, who is racist against the Chinese? It's just not very prominent. Second, who still is freaked out by communist espionage? Third, I found it odd that someone who supported Ron Paul, whose followers are a bunch of libertarians and anti-war college students, would make something like this, it doesn't really fit the Paul supporter demo.

On the other hand, who in the primary stands to gain the most from voters defecting from Ron Paul? Clearly, it's Huntsman. Who has leaned the most towards Ron Paul's anti-war message in the last few debates? Who's been making dopey ads against Ron Paul.

To summarize, someone makes an oddball ad that holds strange prejudices and casts strange aspersions that have never been made before. Then they attack a candidate that is barely registering anything in the polls. The bad publicity of the ads clearly would hurt Paul while garnering sympathy and publicity for Huntsman. So, yeah, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if a Huntsman supporter made this ad. It would still surprise me if Huntsman's campaign was directly involved although some of the evidence points to that.

It is interesting to note that there were two versions of this ad made on the same day. One claims to be made by Ron Paul supporters and the second claims to be made by Rick Santorum supporters. The only difference is the message at the end. Here is the Rick Santorum version:

Really the only thing we know for sure is that Huntsman and his staff decided to use this video in their campaign.

That's pretty wild.

Sometimes I willingly remain naive rather than believe that someone do something like this involving his family. But it does look fishy. Also, could Huntsman possibly be that stupid? He would have to know that something like this could be found out. If in fact he had knowledge of this before it went out, it would destroy his career and hurt his relationship at least with the adopted girls.

Meh. I don't see any evidence that it came from the Huntsman campaign.

I dunno.

There's no "evidence" but if it's true that it posted to his website before it went to any other viral destination then it's (at the very least) suggestive that no one had noticed it until they started pushing it.

Yeah, maybe it didn't come from the Huntsman campaign. This is something more like what Romney's staff would do.

Maybe Huntsman or his staff should come out and state how they learned about this video. It seemed that it was only made popular by them when they were first to post in on their website.

Yeah, maybe it didn't come from the Huntsman campaign. This is something more like what Romney's staff super PAC would do.

FIFY

The initial post was made on YouTube by someone named NHPaul2012. The only post ever made by the guy was this video. It went viral when Huntsman picked it up himself and ran with it to express his outrage.

Huntsman is the Gray Davis of the field.

Do his daughters sing country music? I'm beginning to suspect this is a very expensive marketing campaign to make them the next SheDaisy.

Pops might cut the party short. So sad.

So, how well does the candidate need to do in tonight's primary for his father to go all in? And how badly does he have to do for dad to switch off the lights?

BuzzFeed spoke to two Huntsman family friends in Utah, who requested anonymity to comment on what one described as "the delicate issue of intra-family contributions." But both said Huntsman Sr. expects a return on investment--even on his son's presidential campaign.

"They are best friends," one Utah Republican strategist said of the candidate and his father. "[Jon Sr.] would love nothing more than his son to become president of the United States. He will roll the dice, but he won't keep rolling it. The house credit line is not unlimited."

Indy nails it on this.

I'm glad Sr. got released as a GA or AA (whatever he was). All around solid move by the Church.
