| Jon Huntsman |
A smear campaign that does not inform about the merits of a candidate, but pours over his political opponents in the race when voters refuse or stoking fears are part of the tools of every U.S. election campaign. With a racist campaign against the moderate Republican candidate Jon Huntsman, however, the primaries of the Republican presidential campaign has a few days before the crucial votes in the State of New Hampshire its first big scandal.
"Who is Jon Huntsman?" A voice whispered in a good minute-long election campaign spot ominously lined with Chinese-style sounds. "What is the hidden 'Mandchurian Candidate'? American or Chinese values?" Here are pictures in which Huntsman talks with a Chinese toddler who he has on his arm - because Huntsman was U.S. Ambassador to China and speaks the local language fluently.
Jon Huntsman, who was governor from 2005 to 2009 comes from Utah, during the presidential campaign the Republicans do not yet quite on the spot. Here, the populist politician is not rumbling, but an urbane man who's good, especially when it comes to foreign policy: he advised the U.S. president Ronald Reagan, and Bush junior and senior. Most recently he served as Obama's ambassador to Beijing, from which it's racist campaign is now trying to spin a rope.
Huntsman - too soft when it comes to China?
Huntsman's service in Beijing and his Mandarin skills are the ones that occur suspected followers of the coming out of Texas Republican Ron Paul hardliner suspect. NHLiberty4Paul called the group who uploaded the video on YouTube, at the end of the video follows the prompt "Vote Ron Paul".

The candidate Paul, who was in the nineties even noticed with racist submissions, said in a CNN interview on Friday he did not know the video. In election campaigns, however, is something common to followers of all campaigns would do such things. A spokeswoman for the Paul campaign said, no one to support Paul actually would create such a film.
The attacked candidate Huntsman said during a campaign appearance in Concord in the State of New Hampshire, the movies was "stupid" and "political campaign bullshit." To have particularly angered him, that in the video his two adopted daughters from China and India would be shown and I shall try, "something sinister" suggests. A sequence of the video shows Huntsman, then "China-Jon" called, together with his adopted Asian daughters, Asha and Gracie and is making the claim that Huntsman was too soft and pliable in China-related issues. Huntsman has seven children.
Showdown in New Hampshire - for second place

Showdown in New Hampshire - for second place
The Republicans currently struggling fiercely to see who the Democrat Barack Obama in the fall of 2012 may challenge the U.S. presidential election. After the initial delay in Iowa, Mitt Romney barely won, and shortly before the next vote in New Hampshire it's now all or nothing - the contest between the Republican candidate for the nomination will therefore intensified.
Ron Paul, whose supporters are behind the video was only third in Iowa, the polls on Tuesday in New Hampshire area code to see him now in second place, but far behind Romney. Huntsman is usually behind in the polls could Paul, the Republican hardliners but overtake. Whether the racist movies Paul helping a good or bad, will probably show only the Vorwahltag.
Republican supporters that do not shy away from racial bonds had already shown the election campaign in 2000. As the ranking Republican John McCain at the time with his friends at the party nomination, tried unknowns with automated phone calls, mood to make against McCain. The assertion that the politician had an illegitimate black baby, however, was fictitious. They were probably minted to McCain's adopted daughter from Bangladesh.
