Why would a RP supporter create a Huntsman hit job?

[rp2012win]

Nobody is asking this question. Think about this. Ron Paul is in a clear 2nd place in NH, somewhere in the low 20's, and Huntsman is in the single digits. Why would a RP supporter feel it necessary to create a Huntsman hit job and then twitter it to people like erik erickson? You don't create hit jobs on candidates in the single digits that your dominating. You save those hit jobs for candidates above you. It just doesn't add up.

That was my thought too.

what if rupert murdoch wanted to hamstring half the contenders this cycle?
what if he has the deep pockets for classic dirty tricks? what if he is active?

[FreeTraveler]

Good point. None of RPs supporters are dumb enough to punch down.

rupert murdoch like joe mccarthy thrived inside our Cold War paranoias

There's already a thread discussing the ad

If it were a real Ron Paul supporter, the video wouldn't be there right now. I don't know if it has been taken down yet, but if it hasn't, you know darned well it wasn't a supporter.

I'm still wondering how some "random" person would have access to Huntsman home vids/pics. The stuff in the ad doesn't look like things you could easily find just searching online.

Oh god, can this discussion die yet?

[anaconda]

Maybe because Huntsman is betting all of his eggs on New Hampshire and because he's a globalist tool?

But more importantly, how does one unidentified person making a video and uploading it to youtube become even remotely newsworthy? Will someone please ask Megyn Kelly this in front of a national audience?
