Tucker Carlson Sets Up Ron Paul Smear With Prostitutes

Left, Tucker Carlson; Right, Ron Paul

This is a double-smear campaign!  The media, namely TV personality and Dancing With The Stars reject Tucker Carlson, actually arranged a smear campaign against Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul.  Tucker Carlson phoned a brothel owner friend of his named Dennis Hof, in Nevada, and asked him to check out Ron Paul while Paul was in Nevada.  He then proceeded to bring Hof and two of Hof's prostitutes to a Reno news conference, and put out the story that Ron Paul is endorsed by a Nevada brothel owner.

The move took the Ron Paul campaign by surprise, who allowed Hof to be interviewed by the media present at Paul's news conference.

The story was then picked up by the Associated Press, who published an article entitled, "Paul Endorsed by Nevada Brothel Owner," and opened the article with, "Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, an underdog Texas congressman with a libertarian streak, has picked up an endorsement from a Nevada brothel owner."

Nice twist!  Notice how they throw in "underdog," and "libertarian streak" into the opening sentence - it is a thinly veiled attempt to subconsciously discredit Paul in the eyes of the reader.  Followed up with, "has picked up an endorsement," which makes you think that Paul solicited the endorsement, when in fact he was set up.

For the full scandolous story, check out this great catch at the National Expositor, and the original article by the Associated Press.

Hmmm...they wouldn't be smearing Paul if they weren't concerned about him, now would they?
