The secular community? This whole Wright thing has nothing to do with the secular community scoring points. Secularism doesn't really have anything to do with this. A lot of "Wright apologists" and Obama supporters are secular. Huckabee was essentially taking the same side as a whole slew of secularists.
If Huckabee were really the rabid fundamentalist you paint him to be, there's no way he'd be defending Wright simply because they are both Christian. Wright's ultra-liberal flavor of Christianity is practically the exact opposite of Huckabee's conservative flavor of Christianity. Huckabee was being reasonable, and it is interesting to me that you would attempt to rationalize it as being the result of religious fundamentalism.
