This article says the purchaser of the ad is a supporter of Ron Paul. It says nothing about him being an "associate" of his, or even if he is on any kind of volunteer staff. This is a scurrilous act, but I don't see where Ron Paul has to even make a statement except to disavow any knowledge of this deviant's action. Maybe Ron Paul needs an order of protection.

VillagerII's remarks about Perry are also odious and uncalled for, if I'm to remain consistent.
