Ron Paul says he didn't send the tweet about Huntsman; which raises a question....

[yellowcanine]

How are we supposed to know when it is actually Ron Paul speaking?
Racist Newsletter articles got sent out under his name but he didn't write them.
Tweets get tweeted under his name but he doesn't tweet.
When Ron Paul speaks is it really him speaking or is he just a dummy and it is a ventriloquist doing the actual speaking?

O’Brien also asked Paul about a tweet that seemed to be mocking Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman’s last place finish in Iowa.

“Obviously, I didn’t send it,” Paul admitted. “I haven’t talked about Jon Huntsman in a long time so I don’t know what’s going on there.”

“It was sort of a snitty message that was sent out under your name — under your Twitter handle, @RonPaul — was sent to another candidate, fellow candidate and kind of a snarky message,” O’Brien explained. “You’re saying you don’t tweet for yourself.”

“Yeah, I have some help on tweeting,” Paul replied. “Yes.”

The Texas Republican has also recently claimed that he did not know who published racist newsletters in his name in the 1990s.

1. And that pointy hat and white robe?? Not mine.

[SugarShack]

11. ASTOUNDING! Nothing in his congressional voting record as long as it is???? So this is it? hmmm

[Ian David]

2. "Also, that wasn't me using my penis to bang that woman." n/t

[arcane1]

3. He's completely unqualified even if his ideas were 100% pure gold

Simply because he either lies his ass off, or has absolutely no control (or awareness) over the actions of his subordinates.

7. +1

4. As far as his newsletter since he's putting it out and has his name on it--he must be responsible

for the content.

[HappyMe]

5. Yeah. Just like Weiner never sent those pics.

[FarLeftFist]

6. If it makes me look bad I have people you can blame instead.

[MADem]

8. “Yeah, I have some help on tweeting,” ....

Keep digging, you racist old bigot--keep digging!

[Bolo Boffin]

9. Ron Paul IS the Ambien Walrus. n/t

10. Not to defend a racist piece of shit, but I think it is pretty easy to set up a twitter account...

that appears to be from a public figure.

I know Twitter tries to police that sort of thing and verify celebrities, but it happens all the time.

I wouldn't put it past the Aynus to be petty enough to do this though.

[yellowcanine]

12. It is pretty clear from the exchange that it was people in his campaign doing the tweeting.

He admitted as much.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

13. What about that tweet where he says: "Where's my pants! ...

Who's got my goddamn trousers!"

I spose he didnt write that one either.

[yellowcanine]

14. Ron Paul lost his pants? I am glad I wasn't there to see that.

I bet he has skinny hairy little legs with saggy skin and bony knees.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

16. His pants tweeted it.

[yellowcanine]

17. My pants have taken photos with my cell phone but never have they tweeted.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

18. Well, count your lucky stars.

Things are beginning to rebel (pants, cell phones, silverware, etc.)
& it will not be pretty.

[yellowcanine]

19. Fortunately I have already discussed this with my pants and we have an agreement that there will be

no tweeting.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

21. There's only one way to put this:

Do not trust your pants. Read the
fine print on that agreement.

[yellowcanine]

23. I just keep this picture in my closet and hang my pants next to it from time to time.

The pants know I mean business and there will be no tweeting from them or else!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

24. That scares the hell out of me & I'm not even your pants!

[Nuclear Unicorn]

15. Has there ever been someone who wrote as much as RP without ever being aware of it?

I swear he's like the old senile uncle who declares he's not racist because some of his best slaves were black.

Good grief what an idiot.

[LiberalAndProud]

20. I don't think Ron Paul believes that the buck ever stops with him.

Dissembling is often a symptom of deep underlying psychological problems. Just sayin'.

[RZM]

22. I think it's par for the course for staff to run the twitter accounts of the famous

That's probably especially true for politicians who are busy campaigning and raising money 24/7.

Here's an interesting article from Cracked called '10 Celebrity Twitters Actually Worth Following'

http://www.cracked.com/article_17092_10-celebrity-twitters-actually-worth-following.html

The most relevant selection here is Britney Spears. Their take on it was the first thing I thought.

'Chance it's actually her: 95 percent. Chance that everything she says is run by a manager, a publicist and dictated through two assistants: 9,000 percent (sorry, math was never my thing). Although the Tweets have all the spark of a well-revised press release, their sterility provides an interesting glimpse into the Stepford Wife-esque life of a fallen starlet whose handlers still have a vested interest in her continued visibility.'

25. Ron Paul doesn't even know how to tweet.

This is a non issue being dredged up by media shills on behalf of corporate America.

26. Ron Paul IS a Tw....never mind.
