Jon Huntsman’s presidential campaign released another video targeting rival Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) on New Years Eve.

The video is modeled on the science-fiction series The Twilight Zone and attempts to portray Paul as a kook who believes in conspiracy theories. The video shows clips of the Texas congressman talking about the secret society of the Skull and Bones, and discussing New World Order conspiracies.

In one clip, Paul says that the civil war was “senseless,” and that the northern states should have bought southern slaves and released them instead of going to war. In another, he says that U.S. foreign policy led to the 9/11 terror attacks.

Paul has given multiple interviews to conspiracy theorist and radio host Alex Jones.

The ad concludes with slides that state, “Tune in next week for more of The Ron Paul Chronicles.”

A video released by the Huntsman campaign last week branded Paul as “unelectable” because of racist, hate-filled newsletters that were published under his name about 20 years ago.

    • Slavery was ended in England in 1833 by purchasing slave owners slaves.Slavery was ended without a violent civil war.

      After 1830 when the mood of the nation changed in favour of a variety of types of reform, the antislavery campaign gathered momentum. In 1833 Wilberforce's efforts were finally rewarded when the Abolition of Slavery Act was passed. Wilberforce, on his death-bed, was informed of the passing of the Act in the nick of time. The main terms of the Act were:

      1. all slaves under the age of six were to be freed immediately

      2. slaves over the age of six were to remain as part slave and part free for a further four years. In that time they would have to be paid a wage for the work they did in the quarter of the week when they were "free"

      3. the government was to provide £20 million in compensation to the slave-owners who had lost their "property."

    • Bin Laden gives his reasons for attacking U.S. in 2002 letter to the American people.

      Q1) Why are we fighting and opposing you?
      Q2)What are we calling you to, and what do we want from you?

      As for the first question: Why are we fighting and opposing you? The answer is very simple:

      (1) Because you attacked us and continue to attack us.

      a) You attacked us in Palestine:

      b) You attacked us in Somalia; you supported the Russian atrocities against us in Chechnya, the Indian oppression against us in Kashmir, and the Jewish aggression against us in Lebanon.

      (c) Under your supervision, consent and orders, the governments of our countries which act as your agents, attack us on a daily basis;

      (i) These governments prevent our people from establishing the Islamic Shariah, using violence and lies to do so.

      (ii) These governments give us a taste of humiliation, and places us in a large prison of fear and subdual.

      (iii) These governments steal our Ummah's wealth and sell them to you at a paltry price.

      (iv) These governments have surrendered to the Jews, and handed them most of Palestine, acknowledging the existence of their state over the dismembered limbs of their own people.

      (v) The removal of these governments is an obligation upon us, and a necessary step to free the Ummah, to make the Shariah the supreme law and to regain Palestine. And our fight against these governments is not separate from out fight against you.

      (d) You steal our wealth and oil at paltry prices because of you international influence and military threats. This theft is indeed the biggest theft ever witnessed by mankind in the history of the world.

      (e) Your forces occupy our countries; you spread your military bases throughout them; you corrupt our lands, and you besiege our sanctities, to protect the security of the Jews and to ensure the continuity of your pillage of our treasures.

      (f) You have starved the Muslims of Iraq, where children die every day. It is a wonder that more than 1.5 million Iraqi children have died as a result of your sanctions, and you did not show concern. Yet when 3000 of your people died, the entire world rises and has not yet sat down.

      thanks for teh lulz Paultard!

      It has been a pleasure pissing you off - and no I will not watch your silly video - I don't take anything seriously from pretentious clowns that use terms like "statist."

      Being as you are still young, there is hope you will pass through this childish libertarian phase. Most people manage to free themselves from the conceptual confusion. Most out grow such a simple-minded right-wing ideology.

      Good luck and Happy New Year!

      So only kooks believe in conspiracies?

      Or is it that sheep pretend there are none?

      I for one, am sure that there really are a few conspiracies out there. For example, a multi-year shroud of silence at Penn State.

      I know there are conspiracies, but I don't adhere to the crazy conspiracy theories, the official 9/11 being one of them. I offer no counter-theory but I do point out the huge holes in them and the nonsense in them. It is not a matter of belief, where I am concerned. I do my research and my homework, and never offer a theory.

      So the people who came up with the "official 9/11" story form a conspiracy. I agree. I don't offer a specific counter theory either. Somebody knows. We all speculate.

      And even though I don't believe that the earth is hollow, my specific disbelief in the "formal explanations" still makes me a kook in the minds of many.

      Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember your own viewpoints on the background of marijuana prohibition pointing to big money doing some radical shell games. A conspiracy that might make you a kook in the eyes of many US Federal officials.

      As a further example, you yourself may have posted "The shocking truth about the crackdown on OWS" That posting clearly referred to "18 hour meetings with Homeland Security" and "leaked memos" -- and again, no specific theory was raised, but you promoted a conspiracy with the certain power of the "Fist of Perhaps."

      So, kooks promote theories that might illuminate a seeming conspiracy, while smelling out the odor of a conspiracy is the job of patriots.

    • Let's be honest... Nobody wants Obama to have to face Paul...

      The (and their lobbyists, those taking kick-backs and pay-offs etc);

      Military Industrial Complex,

      Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex,

      Prison Industrial Complex,

      Agricultural Industrial Complex,

      Banking Institutions National & International,

      Even The Oil Cartels (why because you can make everything with HEMP that you can make with CRUDE),

      The Logging Industry for almost the exact same reasons (can't make solid oak home furnishings with hemp)

      What do you have to lose? A corrupt system that feels it's okay to raid even the wrong house an and shoot people dead over a little pot?

      Dead or permanently emotionally scarred children and/or grandchildren because we had to go fight another war to try to save this crumbling empire?

      One day you might have to realize that "Damn there isn't a pill for everything, maybe I should have smoked a joint instead of giving myself liver cancer with all those pharmaceuticals...." (Pharmaceuticals that destroy the areas surrounding where they are made.)

      You jobs at the prison in question? Really when about 60% of everyone in their on a charge (at the very least) can be linked to drug use or abuse, or inability to procure drugs.)

      Really you like more Genetically Engineered Food? Like the war on whole non pasteurized farm fresh milk?

      Like the war on nutritional supplements?

      Like denying an all out war on personal freedoms, on all levels, while corporate freedoms for the ultra-rich corporations (and people) just keep growing?

      You like the deceptive practices of our financial institutions? The fact we've got 18 million empty homes in this country and over 3 million homeless people (the figures on the amount of homeless most likely underestimated, by whoever did the math I borrowed.)?

      You guys like all that shit? All those reasons (and a few others) why Ron Paul is so "unelectable"?

      Read the writing on the wall, the empire is crumbling.... It's not getting better with your centrist republican Obama, nor with the rest of these ass-clowns promising; "NO, I can bomb Iran faster!!!!"

      Democrats would love Obama to face Paul in the general election - Paul is a batshit crazy bigot that could never win any election outside of some racist pockets in the deep South.

      However, the grownups in the GOP are concerned that Paul might get the nomination (which is still a long shot) - the bigger concern is that Paul goes Rogue and runs as an independent, splitting the conservative vote and guaranteeing an Obama landslide.

      The only real threat to Obama is Romney or Huntsman - all the other GOP candidates, like Paul, are simply too batshit crazy for mainstream America.

      All very valid points and here is another. Huntsman has been flying under the radar letting all the other hyenas rip each other to shreds, something they are doing very well. He has been biding his time but in this race that seems to be a good strategy.

    • As a huge TZ fan ( I just watched some of the TZ marathon over the New Year's weekend) I think Huntsman use of TZ as his basis for comment is inappropriate. The hallmark of TZ episodes, is how so many of them have played out factually in recent times. Rod Serling was a true visionary when it came to human nature playing out in future repercussions for humanity. Ron Paul is pretty much an open book for what impact he could have on our futures. It's a catchy technique but misses the mark in functionality. But Huntsman has always been a little too cutesy with his pop culture references. But that is the story of the GOP, style over substance too hide their deep-rooted bat shit craziness.

      Former Secretary of State and current 1-percenter Henry Kissinger was a huge Obama promoter and claimed that because of Obama's international appeal, Obama's task would be to help to bring about a New World Order.

      Is Kissinger a kook too for talking about a New World Order?

      The Chance for a New World Order
      By Henry A. Kissinger
      Published: Monday, January 12, 2009, NY Times

      http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/12/opinion/12iht-edkissinger.1.19281915.html?page...

      "The extraordinary impact of the president-elect on the imagination of humanity is an important element in shaping a new world order. But it defines an opportunity, not a policy.

      The ultimate challenge is to shape the common concern of most countries and all major ones regarding the economic crisis, together with a common fear of jihadist terrorism, into a common strategy reinforced by the realization that the new issues like proliferation, energy and climate change permit no national or regional solution."

    • This ad will work because it is strictly aimed at the uninformed, but will fail on the more informed voter.

      As if Skull and Bones don't exist and world leaders have not discussed the New World Order concept for decades.

      The deceased Iraq war promoter and Iraq war liar Tim Russert asked Bush about Skull and Bones. Was he a kook too?

      Well both Bush and Kerry both admitted to being in Skull and Bones so it really isn't a theory, but does that mean it is a conspiracy that they are in Skull and Bones? No I don't make much of that assumption.
