CNN Anchor Calls Out Ron Paul Over Anti-Huntsman Tweet: Not ‘Super Presidential’

During the Iowa caucuses Tuesday night, we reported on a tweet sent out under Ron Paul’s username and directed at fellow Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman.

“We found your one Iowa voter, he’s in Linn precinct 5 you might want to call him and say thanks,” it said.

The message was deleted from Paul’s account shortly thereafter, and then put back up almost as quickly. Huntsman hasn’t responded under his own username.CNN Soledad OBrien challenges Ron Paul on tweet to Jon Huntsman

Wednesday morning, CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien questioned Paul on the message, quoting it to him and asking if he sent it.

“Well, I didn’t quite understand even what you just read, but obviously I didn’t send it,” Paul responded. “I haven’t talked about Jon Huntsman in a long time, so I don‘t know what’s going on there.”

O’Brien pressed the issue, calling the tweet “snarky” and asked if Paul has someone else on his campaign sending message. Paul said yes. O’Brien then said, “That didn’t sound super presidential to me.”

Paul continued to plead ignorance on the issue.

      It’s a TWEET LOL, they need to let it go. Huntsman was SNARKY when he said IOWA did not matter. How come they don’t think this was a good response to that? Was is not snarky when Huntsman dissed the whole Iowa event? I think it was beyond snarky.

      While I kinda don’t like the term “snarky” in general (it rose to prominence a few years ago as a way of denigrating humorous critics of leftists), Huntsman has been consistently “snarky” in this campaign. I think it has hurt him. Good.

    What is it with the media’s fascination with Huntsman? While Gretchen Carlson interviewed Debbie Blabbermouth Shultz this morning, I switched to HLN. They were talking about Santorum and Romney, then the host asked the guest what Huntsman needed to do to get his numbers up. No mention of any other candidate or fallout from the Iowa Caucus, just straight to Huntsman.

      James Madison, Feb. 3, 1792 “It is to be recollected that the terms ”common defence and general welfare,” as here used, are not novel terms, first introduced into this Constitution. They are terms familiar in their construction, and well known to the people of America. …On the contrary, it was always considered clear and certain that the old Congress was limited to the enumerated powers, and that the enumeration limited and explained the general terms. I ask the gentlemen themselves, whether it was ever supposed or suspected that the old Congress could give away the money of the states to bounties to encourage agriculture, or for any other purpose they pleased. “……”If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare…they may a point teachers in every state, county, and parish, and pay them out of their public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union; they may assume the provision for the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post-roads; in short, every thing, from the highest object of state legislation down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress; for every object I have mentioned would admit of the application of money, and might be called, if Congress pleased, provisions for the general welfare.”

    Don’t like Ron Paul, but the fact is that O’Brien is nothing more than a water carrier for Obama and every other socialist who thinks that honest, hard working Americans should pick up the tab for those who won’t work, yet blindly vote for Democrats. Her opinions are irrelevant.

    Many of the unemployed and unemployable don’t understand that it is the Democrat Party that keeps them from getting a decent education and/or a decent job. The Democrats have to keep a large group of people dependent on the government, and O’Brien helps them do just that.

      At least Santorum is honest and up front about his brand of Big Government conservatism:

      ———————————————————————————————
      “People are taking a look at Santorum. Important people. People in Iowa. Even New York Times columnist David Brooks recently celebrated his working-class appeal, newfound viability and economic populism, noting that the former Pennsylvania senator’s book “It Takes a Family“ was a ”broadside against Barry Goldwater-style conservatism” — or, in other words, a rejection of that Neanderthal fealty for liberty and free markets that has yet to be put down. Santorum’s book is crammed with an array of ideas for technocratic meddling; even the author acknowledges that some people “will reject” what he has to say “as a kind of ‘Big Government’ conservatism.”

      Santorum is a fascist

      I agree with Ron on economic issues

      I agree with Ron’s social policy of being self responsible.

They have this idea that people should be left alone, be able to do whatever they want to do.Government should keep our taxes down and keep our regulations low, and that we shouldn’t get involved in the bedroom, we shouldn’t get involved in cultural issues. That is not how traditional conservatives view the world. There is no society that I am aware of, where we’ve had radical individualism and that it succeeds as a culture”.

      Patton’s September diary entry following a demand from Washington that more German housing be turned over to Jews, summed up his feelings:

      “Evidently the virus started by Morgenthau and Baruch of a Semitic revenge against all Germans is still working. Harrison (a U.S. State Department official) and his associates indicate that they feel German civilians should be removed from houses for the purpose of housing Displaced Persons. There are two errors in this assumption. First, when we remove an individual German we punish an individual German, while the punishment is — not intended for the individual but for the race.

      Furthermore, it is against my Anglo-Saxon conscience to remove a person from a house, which is a punishment, without due process of law. In the second place, Harrison and his ilk believe that the Displaced Person is a human being, which he is not, and this applies particularly to the Jews, who are lower than animals.”

      One of the strongest factors in straightening out General Patton‘s thinking on the conquered Germans was the behavior of America’s controlled news media toward them. At a press conference in Regensburg, Germany, on May 8, 1945, immediately after Germany’s surrender, Patton was asked whether he planned to treat captured SS troops differently from other German POW’s. His answer was:

      “No. SS means no more in Germany than being a Democrat in America — that is not to be quoted. I mean by that that initially the SS people were special sons of bitches, but as the war progressed they ran out of sons of bitches and then they put anybody in there. Some of the top SS men will be treated as criminals, but there is no reason for trying someone who was drafted into this outfit . . .”

      Despite Patton’s request that his remark not be quoted, the press eagerly seized on it, and Jews and their front men in America screamed in outrage over Patton’s comparison of the SS and the Democratic Party as well as over his announced intention of treating most SS prisoners humanely.

      With great reluctance, and only after repeated promptings from Eisenhower, he had thrown German families out of their homes to make room for more than a million Jewish DP’s — part of the famous “six million” who had supposedly been gassed — but he balked when ordered to begin blowing up German factories, in accord with the infamous Morgenthau Plan to destroy Germany’s economic basis forever

      This is a complete non-issue drummed up by Glen Beck to get his little sheep like you all in a tizzy. Here are a few facts about that committee. Fact: the United States of America is on the brink of bankruptcy. Barney Frank, NOT Ron Paul was charged with putting together a non-partisan to find ways to cut spending on defense. Other committees where put together to find ways to cut spending in other areas. Ron Paul agreed to be on the committee…. so what? If we are to get spending under control, we have to cut anywhere and everywhere we can. Defense being one of those places. Now, here is the key phrase that makes this a non-issue, so don’t have a knee jerk because Beck tells you to: ” to explore possible defense budget contributions to

      Stoic One,
      I agree with you.
      My fear with Ron Paul is that he keeps showing either a disregard for what his minions do or say in his name, or an inability to control what they say followed by denials.
      it‘s not unlike eric holder claiming he didn’t know about Fast and Furious. Either way holder is not fit to hold the position he has.
      Can Ron Paul pay more attention to what goes on in his oeganization?

    And I suppose they think that Santorum’s comment about Paul was presidential?

      No, it wasn’t. But Paul stating that Santorum hates Gays and Muslims was not Presidential either.

      Neither was Gingrich’s comment about Romney being a LIAR. Hey Gingrich, watch it, because a GOP candidate is going to have to beat Obama. Or, are you so angry that you want Obama to win?

    CNN has it out for Ron Paul and I wonder why? The only thing I can think of is that Ron Paul is NOT “super Presidentia”l sounding.

      Yeah we want the guy that just looks Presidential!
      Lets just listen to the MSM when they tell us Romney is the clear President.
      Or was it Gingrich, or Bachman, Perry?
      Basically anybody but Paul is all they have said and he is the only one that even mentions the Constitution.

      Lets all listen to MSM and any other candidate than Paul. Let’s get our war drums out and get going to Iran! I’ll buy the facepaint!

      Paul uses the word constitution like a catch phrase over and over but then slides right into his pacifistic anti war chatter. You can’t be a little man and cowar from evil.

      I personally don’t think we have “won” anything in Iraq. Barack (being the great military mind he is)told the enemy when we were leaving so now that were gone they will resume their murder and destruction.

      CNN doesn’t like Dr. Paul for all the same reasons theBlaze doesn’t like him.

    I thought it was very funny. Huntsman certainly dishes out the snark. Turnabout is fair play.

      Two wrongs do not make a right. The tweet was childish and non-presidential. The wording in the tweet was pretty clear & concise, how could Paul not understand what she read? I don’t believe he authorized or wrote the tweet but he sure needs to take a good look at his staff. Had to be someone fairly high in the chain of command or they wouldn‘t have access to Paul’s twitter account. Perfect example of the ridiculous mud-slinging that goes on between candidates. And they all do it, some more than others, but it still happens.

      @GRANDMA I thought it was funny too…we have no Constitutionalists running for President except for Dr Ron Paull. He has voted for the good of the people every time..He would quit handing our foreign aide..and cut out a lot of Communistic governmental agencies..he would bring our troops home and build our military defense here..that would save us a trillion the first year..Paul is the only one who is fiscally responsible.and would fight for our freedom…The others will take us down the same road as Obama..I’m voting Ron Paul 2012

      Gramma B I thought it was funny and for cnn to cry foul for such a minor thing as the tweet when their hack “journalists” make vicious attacks 24/7 on Republicans is pathetic

      Ashes, I’m no particular fan of Paul. But, what he said was funny. He acts like he doesn’t really care about being “presidential” because he doesn’t realistically think he ever will be. He runs to make a point. So, he can say what he wants. Huntsman is such an arrogant little nothing, always making snotty remarks. It just makes me laugh that Paul put him down that way.

      Huntsman is so jealous of Romney, he can’t see straight. He has hated Romney since Romney got the Olympic job that Huntsman thought was his. Romney just ignores Huntsman, as he should.

    Typical case of the corporate media focusing in on the proverbial deck chairs on the Titanic….

    Soledad O’Brien should be more concerned with things that actually affect wide swaths of people (like RomneyCare, for instance).
