America has only experienced the first of many primary contests this week, and already a candidate for most offensive campaign ad has come to the fore, and with gusto. The group New Hampshire Liberty 4 Paul supporting Rep. Ron Paul has come out swinging against Jon Huntsman for his ties to China, asking whether he is the Manchurian Candidate and whether he lacks American values for having lived in Beijing.
The ad begins asking of Huntsman, The Manchurian Candidate, Whats he hiding? It features traditional Chinese music and clips of Huntsman doing things in China: speaking Mandarin, taking interviews from Chinese press, walking around in China you get the idea. It then asks a series of questions during the montage like, American values, or Chinese? and Weak on China? Wonder why? It also takes a detour to slam him for being Mormon (A man of faith?) before the coup de grace, a doctored photo of Huntsman in what appears to be Maoist military garb. Essentially, it makes Willie Horton look like Will.I.Ams Yes We Can ad.
