Another crass and pathetic smear attempt against Ron Paul failed yesterday as some news organisations, including the AP, attempted to link the Congressman to a pimp without making it clear that the entire charade was an idiotic stunt set up by MSNBC’s Tucker Carlson.

The AP put out a story simply titled Paul Endorsed by Nevada Brothel Owner which began "Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, an underdog Texas congressman with a libertarian streak, has picked up an endorsement from a Nevada brothel owner," Dennis Hof.

The obvious suggestion here was that Ron Paul has been soliciting such endorsement. However, as mentioned and somewhat glossed over at the very end of the article, it was Tucker Carlson who contacted Hof to ask him to check out Ron Paul and arrived with him at Ron Paul’s Reno news conference along with two of Hof’s prostitutes. The media in attendance jumped on the opportunity to focus in on the ridiculous publicity stunt which had nothing to do with Ron Paul's campaign whatsoever.

It is clear that the provocative headline from the AP, which was also displayed during an MSNBC interview with Ron Paul himself, broadcast earlier today was designed to give readers the impression that Ron Paul is the presidential candidate of pimps and prostitutes.

However, Ron Paul laughed off the pathetic smear attempt by sarcastically suggesting that he was going to have a meeting later on regarding the matter and that he hoped MSNBC wouldn't be bombarded with too many Ron Paul bumper stickers.


While Dr Paul stressed that he believes law-enforcement and moral issues should not be decided upon by the federal government, he expertly explained that personally he does not condone such activity.
[LEFT]This latest smear attempt again proves the fact that Ron Paul and his campaign message is untouchable as the establishment media continues to go after him by association.[/LEFT]

I have no problem with Ron Paul receiving money from brothels. Neither does Dr. Paul.

After all, Dennis Kucinich recieved the coveted endorsement of Larry Flynt, the Jabba the Hut of Pornography.

You mean the interview where as soon as they showed Ron the caption on the screen read: Bunnies for Ron Paul, Nevada Brothel Owner Supports Paul?

Yeah, that was real balanced. They tried to play it like Paul was big buddies with this guy. He seemed pretty unamused by the BS they were spewing. He said anyone who supports freedom and believes in his message is welcome to donate and that he is not going to individually screen everyone. He also pointed out that 37000 people donated to him in one day so how can he screen everyone?

The fact that some are so hung up on this bogus connection that was an obvious plant by the AP just shows that there are a few people still gullible enough to buy the crap the media sells.
