Our son was born in Russia. We adopted him just before his first birthday, so he has virtually no memories of his time in a children's home there. He is every bit an American boy.

I most definitely agree that those who made the ad are scum, but I am not quite ready to blame its production and release on Mr. Paul just yet. I'd like to hear his thoughts on it.

Of course, it says a lot about some of his supporters that they thought it was appropriate.

Ron Paul will deny that he had any editorial control of the ad in question, but will not pull the ad.

That is his MO, is it not?

You may be right. It didn’t use Paul’s usual voice. He didn’t call them ‘fleet footed’ or say they should be treated differently if they commit a crime simply because of their race..

..nope, not Paul’s ‘voice’.

What is BS? The video was privately posted on YouTube by an unknown person; Paul’s campaign rep has publically said this is disgusting and was not done by anyone in the campaign... How can any candidate be held responsible for randomly posted you tube videos?

This is so wrong on so many levels, I find it diffucult to believe that it is legitimate.

This really looks like some sort of opposition effort to poison the campaign in NH. Before jumping to conclusions, I’ll suggest waiting until the instigator is identified, or at least researched more carefully.

Hey 2ndDivision,
Been a while since we traded post.
Going after kids must be off limits, unless they make public comments, like Meghan Mclaime.

You-tube has no standards?

Seems easy enough to check the organization or get the ad pulled, right?

Perhaps Ron Paul has been punked.

Meghan is an adult who put herself out there. She's getting paid to be a commentator. None of the Palin children, with the possible exception of Bristol, asked for any publicity or criticism. I cannot describe adequately my hatred and disdain for the “intelligentsia” of this country who lemming-like, did whatever it took to get Mr. Obama elected and crush his critics. They are a cancer upon our nation.

Very sweet.

Somebody in the Ron Paul camp is asking for a knuckle sandwich.

Do you use YouTube? It’s not an ad and there is no organization, it’s a privately uploaded video... I suppose if the campaign filed a lawsuit, subpoenaed YouTube to find out who posted it they could eventually get it pulled, but by then the campaign will be done...

Looks like a counterfeit, to make Paul look bad. No way Paul would actually OK this ad. (And I say that not even LIKING Paul. This just isn’t his style.)

I wouldn’t be surprised if this were created by a Romney supporter, or someone else who would like to see Paul’s percentages reduced more quickly.

JMO.

I really miss Palin not being in this race.
This site is so divided, like the conservative nation as a whole, on who to support. Where is our Reagan, when this country needs one... NOW

Ron Paul - RACIST.

What a piece of garbage. I’m embarrassed this guy calls himself a Republican.

Gee I don’t know why this “racist” thing keeps following Ron Paul everywhere he goes.

And Bristol, arguably, didn’t put herself out for publicity until after she had already been attacked. She merely parleyed the notoriety into a lucrative mini-career.

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

Not a Paul ad. It's put out by an independent group, NHLiberty4Paul. Its intent is clear and evil. But all it manages to show is that Huntsman has a nice family and can speak Chinese (can they?). NHLiberty4Paul are scum!
