I have a lot of respect for Ron Paul & the need for help with autism research is unquestioned, but - I find the images used in this video, very inappropriate!

Well that is all good, but the hooker looking lady and the beer spot? what is that all about? Ron Paul? John McCain never would have done something like that.

For some in SC and others, the message is autism, a very distressful malady of our time and you want to argue about politics. Shame on you! God bless all those who champion finding a cure for this terrible condition and Ron Paul too, who is NOT a bad man. (You will believe whatever the propaganda machine tells you to and like it!) They already have you programmed. Go figure!

The issue is autism. I support finding a cause and then a cure. I lived through the last 6 decades and have seen how these kinds of charities are ignored by the government. I will not turn my voice or my heart from this undertaking to be distracted by your love affair with John McCain.

this video shows that people are only watching for the charity and not the quality. i am very disappointed.

oh please Cynthia Maurer Vietnam is over! that had to be one of the worse statements ever made! McCain has served our country since he was in his twenties, besides Nancy Regan supports McCain and so do i.

C'mon hypocrites! To say that Ron Paul used autism's cause to promote his candidacy is like saying that Five for Fighting used it to promote their music! You forget the issue. The issue IS AUTISM!!

It IS vaccines that are killing our children. My son was fine until he had his booster vaccines. Vaccines contain mercury and a study in Child Neurology out in November of 2007 shows there is a direct link between mercury and the development of autism.

God bless all the children with any form of autism. Sometimes there are families with multiple children with autism. I have a 26 year old child with Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism and I know the pain and the anguish that parents face, especially when there is no known cause and the numbers are growing. Ask yourselves how this could have any possible genetic cause when there are so many with numbers rising. Let's take a look at our environment. God bless anyone who speaks up for this cause and God bless Ron Paul and America. (Mac is a war-monger who sanctions the killing of foreign babies.)

It's a shame what the elitist's have done to our society. Many times in the past I gave to charities that said they were working toward finding cures, but cures never happened. Then later they became political influence machines attacking personal lifestyles of the ordinary people. So how can you tell what is and what isn't truly an organization that is focused on and only on finding cures....

Let me get this right. Some 'over-zealous' Ron Paul supporter puts this video on the site, people watch it, Autismspeaks.org gets a donation, and you guys are saying that he is disrespecting and trashing this site? If that is all it takes to make someone not vote for a candidate, then this country is truly in trouble. I would think that one would be thankful for this video on this site as it could have the potential of many thousands of views to raise money for this charity. As I do not know anyone with an autistic child, I would have never have come across this site and donated. God Bless and I and my family will be praying for these beautiful children.

Ron Paul just lost a notch of respect from me. He needs to have this pulled off this site. Crass, rude, unfeeling, dis-genuine, disgusting. At least autism got a buck. I think I'll go give a buck to Paul's adversaries, McCain and Huckabee.

This video should be titled "One of Ron Paul's lackeys wants you to vote for his candidate under the pretense that he will do something about autism" Do yourself a favor and watch another video - any other video - before you waste 6:52 of your life on this tripe.

I WAS a ron paul supporter. If this was a video of him sharing his views on helping the causes of autistic families, i would have been far less offended. But c'mon really? He's not a terrible candidate, unfortunately his supporters are quite a bit less sensible than his ideas.

In very poor taste to advertise a campaign on such a beautiful website
