Conservative bloggers start to think the unthinkable. After the stunts he’s pulled the past couple of days, it’s awfully tempting. Now I really don’t understand his support from evangelicals. What’s the point of electing a guy who shares your val…

Huckabee looking like that creepy deceitful fool he is.. Priceless

No matter! There’s still no way in hell anyone will elect a President Huckabee. All his winning the nomination would do is guarantee 8 years of liberal whining, more taxes everywhere, and all of them with their heads buried in the ground hoping no one will nuke us…

His use of that faith is

Or the use of the words of faith that make Christians look like political opportunists.

There is a difference between being uncomfortable with how one is using one’s faith and being uncomfortable with faith in general.

Yes, but faith is not the point of criticism when it comes to Huckabee. His use of that faith is – saying someone has a problem with faith in general and that’s why they criticize a candidate of faith is misreading the situation.

That isn’t the point. I have noticed his use of faith and criticized it.

AP isn’t the only one making that claim. Peggy Noonan and Charles Krauthammer have also noticed Huckabee’s use of faith and criticized it for the same reasons.

Why is that important? Why should AP’s motives, even if we truly knew them, influence how the rest of us think? If he presents facts, even with a few crap stirring questions, I’m inclined to evaluate them, as long as he is an equal opportunity basher. I haven’t noticed any bias,..just squeals from all bands of the spectrum when he delicately plants the dart.

Amen +1. So much squealing, so little love. :)

If you read my link about Huckabee you can see my problems with him. They are related to wearing one’s Christianity on his sleeve, but it isn’t because he IS a Christian.

By what I have read that you have written about Huckabee, it seems that the way he presents his faith bugs you. That’s all I am saying.

Isn’t your “problem” with Huck essentially the same that you are accusing AP of?

I’m no Huckabee fan, but I think Allah is projecting too much of his own feelings about Christianity on Huckabee.

I’m just saying that from the beginning of Huckabee’s rise you have been on his case in a negative way. Even mocking him occasionally.

Huckabee uses the language of faith. Anyone who has ever gone into a Baptist church knows what I am talking about. You automatically assume that this is a ploy on Huckabee’s part. You assume the worst everytime. Why is that?

I need such series, badly. What’s the source?

They must be responding to a Mormon Jihad….with a Jewish guy leading the charge….ha ha ha

- Huckabee mania by his top guy
- Gold going high
- Oil at $100
- But…Americans are “content with their lives”

Plus a few other crazy things.

Exactly. I’m planning a lot of “negative coverage” of the Democratic nominee this year, FYI.

Huck is doing an awfully good impression of a Democrat nominee.
And I think this article is damage control from Rollins. And I also think they’re hoping the tonight show will be kind of like a Clinton/Arsenio Hall moment for him. Expect some bass(?)playing and sunglasses.

Dang. I wonder if my deposit for 12-steps-to-break-your-addiction-to-Hot-Air self help series is refundable?

Thanks for the laughs RB. I need such series, badly. What’s the source?

Care to defend that?

Did you see Huck’s line about how bloggers were doing the “Lord’s work” by clogging up phone lines?

That is the problem with hiring a “pit bull” political guy to help run your campaign. I wrote a little bit ago the problem with trying to run for President while wearing your Christianity on your sleeve. It’s a problem Huckabee won’t be able to overcome after Iowa.

Yep. Rollins wants to “knock his teeth out” and Norris “won’t use a round-house kick, but a chokehold, I’ll choke him out!”.

That’s not very “Christian” of them.
