CONCORD, N.H. — Republican presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman, who often speaks movingly of his adopted daughters while on the campaign trail, said Friday that Ron Paul’s supporters were out of line in using the girls to argue that he is un-American.

An online ad posted by “NHLiberty4Paul” includes video footage of Huntsman, the former ambassador to China, with daughter Gracie when she was an infant. It also shows Huntsman holding Asha shortly after she was adopted from India.

“American values? Or Chinese?” the ad asks, ending with “Vote Ron Paul.”

Ru Paul just stepped in it, BIG TIME.
The candidates families should be left out of the attacks.

Reprehensible.

I would hope that Ron Paul will waste no time in personally denouncing the ad.

“Paul’s New Hampshire spokeswoman, Kate Schackai, said Friday she didn’t know who was behind the ad, but it wasn’t anyone affiliated with the campaign.

“The video was utterly distasteful and no one who actually supports Dr. Paul’s principles would have made it,” she said.”

Why is Paul even bothering to put up ads against Huntsman? He’s not going anywhere.

I’m no fan of Huntsman, but this ad is sick and wrong.

I am not a Huntsman supporter, but I find this vile. I would even think it vile if Romney was getting this treatment. How can Paul go so low. I tell you his son is going to have a hard time running for President someday with his support of his father. Sure of course he should support him, but I think he should be a back of the scene support. Support as son to his father and not support as Senator to Presidential nominee.

Hmmm... I immediately thought of these daughters of MR. Huntsman:

Looks like American values to me.

It is a really tacky ad (but no surprise coming from the Fraud Paul ad). It is one thing to go after a candidate, but this one goes after the children for being Chinese.

What? It was a private youtube video, not affiliated with anyone in the campaign in any context. Probably a hit piece fabricated from supporters of another candidate.

Like he denounced his support from David Duke or Stormfront? Or like he denounced support from Adam Kokesh? How about Russia Today or Iran's Press TV? How about how he denounced the racist writings of his split personality...errr.. I mean 'ghostwriter'?

Don't look for it.

I had the pleasure of lisening to these young women in an interview. They are much more interesting than Obama’s “China John”.

That’s a real posibility, as well.
