Recently a video from "a Ron Paul supporter" was put onto youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PsJvLVoOq4
Within hours, Huntsman's entire team was up in arms against it. His daughters were on Fox News and the video was being talked about all over the internet: from the L.A Times, to the N.Y. Times; from Huffington Post, to NBC.
Paul's camp strongly disavowed any knowledge of it, and then openly asked that the video be taken down by whoever put it up.
However, many people became suspicious when they looked at the video statistics (WHICH ARE LOCATED RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE VIDEO). Apparently, no media outlet could be bothered to investigate the video AT ALL, and instead wasted their time slamming Ron Paul for something that "some guy on the internet" did.
Brilliant.
Well, as it turns out, the Paul campaign hired a private third party investigation company to find out more, and they came to the conclusion that it was almost certainly someone close to the Huntsman campaign who made the video.

This is called "Black Propaganda" - Group X makes a video that is bad for Group Y, but claims that someone else made it.

Nice try, Huntsman. But everyone (except the mainstream media) knew immediately what happened.
Here's another article that points out that it was likely Huntsman's own daughters who made the video:

I'm awe-struck as to how evil this campaign is getting!
Ron Paul 2012
They will never let Paul be president. You haven't seen anything yet.
It's up to us to get him there.
Spread the word:
1) They're sinking THIS low;
2) The media does NOT investigate even the most BASIC and EASIEST things they could possibly check ("the media" in this case entails the LA Times, Huffington Post, the New York Times, FOX News, and MSNBC --- at least)
The media is utterly, totally and completely controlled. Anyway good luck. I am a socialist and
a skeptic so I will not be offering any material support.
I am not a socialist, but I agree that the news is totally and completely controlled on every end. And this is the reason Paul will never be president. He is a Republican and his media outlet, FOX News, doesn't like him. Without the support of the social conservatives and the economic conservatives, he has no chance to win the primary, let alone a general election where most fall under the category of moderate, which he is the candidate furthest in that area.
You are fully aware that the extreme Republicans have introduced avarice, racism, mental dysfunction and greed into what should be one of the most honored institutions of our nation.
I am not shocked that the current pack of candidates would attack each other like starving dogs in order to stay in the public eye and to further their individual ambitions. It's been going on since Bush stole the election.
This is nothing compared to the Burr/Hamilton duel. I'm glad Hamilton died.
Or what about the caning?

These are desperate times for the Huntsman campaign. Apparently he's not going to be graceful in defeat.
In an interview with CNN, Huntsman says he’s staying in the race.
“Where we stand right now is a solid, comfortable, confident position, and we go south from here,” Huntsman says.
I don't think he meant it the way it came out.

Turns out that Romney showed the press a partial tax statement for 2010. It was discovered thereafter that a significan section of his tax form is missing. That part, by law, tells what the overseas investments do. For example, does Romney's company in the Cayman Island hold controllling stock in a...

Is anyone else annoyed that the media isn't even discussing this? Romney has only won 18 and there are still 11 to go. They are trying to get him out before the convention but quite frankly I think he deserves more attention. His following is growing and showing that many people...

Do you think there's still a chance that someone other than Romney or Gingrich will emerge and become the Republican nominee. Both Romney and Gingrich both have good, but not spectacular levels of support, and there is a sense that neither one of them quite fits the bill, in terms of what the party...
