I find it difficult to accept that you are debating the content of Huckabee's action. He has simply fed fuel into the fire of the conservative propaganda machine. It has become expected that Republicans, in their failure to win enough credibility and support for their positions and policies, must resort to misinformation, half-truths, redirection, and encouraging the ignorance and outrage of the voting public in an attempt to undermine the legitimacy of an ostensibly all-too-liberal president.
This is merely one of the many underhanded actions we can expect to see in the run-up to the 2012 election.
I'd like to be proven wrong.
