Ron Paul's tweet to Jon Huntsman

[merrimac]

I think it was hillarious! Seemed kind of out of character so I'm wondering if he actually wrote it. What do you think of it?

I love it, huntsman is not a great american.

it is silly to attack losers but every once in a while makes for a good laugh on an otherwise sombre night for usa

Is Rand playing with the twitter account?

[jersdream]

Probably was a staffer....out of character, hilarious...probably not the right thing to do whoever did it. Especially considering we finished 3rd....I know when this was tweeted we actually had lead....or right there, but I don't like being arrogant or cocky or smack talking when the voting wasn't over.

have you seen the ads he is running against Ron in NH?

[Disconsolate]

I highly doubt he writes his own tweets :p.

I agree. We have young campaign staff. It is what it is.

This is somewhat childish, not to mention punching down

[RonPaulFanInGA]

It's funny to imagine that Ron Paul himself wrote that. :D

[demolama]

I don't think it is the official twitter account

Which is probably why it was deleted after only being online for 30 minutes. Obviously Ron Paul didn't write it but I think it's funny.

It's a tweet and its jovial, Huntsman dosent care about IA he said "IA dosent pick presidents, they pick corn." He disrespected a whole state, I think the tweet is fitting

Are they on TV? I thought it was just online since he didn't have the funding for TV yet

[VictorB]

It has been put back up. The campaign was asked about it and said that it was indeed intended.

[ghengis86]

It is; it's been verified by twitter ( hence the little blue check mark(

Delete. Double post.

Ron Paul's spoken said this was intentional after the IT guy thought it was an attack.[/QUOTE]

Agreed, but not fitting for an official campaign posting. For an 'official' RPF thread, it's fine.

This is a horrible, horrible idea, and will turn off emotion-based voters. Bad Bad move campaign. I know some staffers needed to blow off steam but dang, don't tweet your frustration to the whole world.

sounds liek Benton to me.

LOL!

That tweet totally has Rand's smart-alecky finger prints all over it

[TER]

According to the LA Times

from Huntsman's manager:

“We find it odd that Rep. Paul would attack Gov. Huntsman in such a childish fashion,” Miller said in an email statement. “That said, it is just the latest in a long line of odd statements from him, like when he called Martin Luther King Jr. a pedophile for example.”

How low. Ron Paul should denounce it
