More of that "Huckabee Taste" in the Mouth

(As a preface this article isn't about religious beliefs. It is about politics.)

As if we needed confirmation that Huckabee is playing the “Christians for Huckabee” Card.

Note the subtlety of the attack. Note that Huckabee, as a Baptist Pastor, was and is well versed in the lines of attack on the Mormon Church. Lest we forget, his famous “take back America” quote was from a Baptist convention in Salt Lake City, Utah. Note that the SBC website has been engaged in a multipart series on Mormons:

Is there anyone out there who thinks Huckabee was simply being intellectually curious? This kind of dishonesty is even worse than the type of craziness that was displayed in this video:

Why you ask? One was being sincere (and crazy) while Huckabee is being uber slick in this attack. So slick in fact that most seculars wouldn’t even notice and most evangelicals would simply think badly of Romney without even thinking about the good Pastor Huckabee.


[UPDATE]

If the Huckster continues to be associated with this type of Anti-Mormon bigotry he could stand a good chance of losing a number of the mountain west states where Mormons are a crucial voting block. For a reference Utah is the most reliable state in the union for electing the candidate with the (R) and in the nineties Perot finished ahead of Clinton. Anybody think the several hundred thousand Mormons in Florida had anything to do with 2000?
