A political ad from Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee appears to show yet another "Subliminal Cross" similar to the Christmas ad done by Huckabee earlier this year. The ad appears to take place in the same room as the Christmas ad but has a stone fireplace in the background instead of the imfamous bookshelf. In the background, the square stones seem to form an askew cross in the upper left corner, especially close to the end of the ad. While all candidates claim to be Christian, Huckabee seems to have had a theme in his campaign of being the "better" Christian than other candidates. Many believed that the Christmas bookshelf ad was a sneaky way of protraying this theme. Here are links to both ads:
The ad itself is a complaint about what Huckabee calls "negative campaigning", but the reality is that Huckabee does not want other candidates to talk about his record as Governor of Arkansas. During the debates in November, media pundits decided that Huckabee had "performed well" despite never saying anything that anyone can remember of any importance. This was followed by about a dozen TV interviews that only talked about Huckabee's Christian views and his weight loss. While Conservative organizations like WorldNetDaily and the Club for Growth had been scrutinizing Huckabee's record since his announcement, the mainstream media, along with FoxNews only began to question Huckabee's record after they had put on a pedestal for about a month.
****Did anybody in Arkansas notice this Ping?!***
Yes I did.
Huckabee was sure batting his eyelids, he must be really, really lying, or very, very angry.
i didn’t see the Cross... However I did see the fires of Hell coming out of the fireplace to catch Huckabee.. (joke)
I don’t like Huckabee, but this finding-a-cross-in-the-fireplace-bricks is a joke, right?
If he filmed an ad outside under the open sky, someone would find symbols in the clouds floating by.
Are you on drugs? (Wanna share them?)
It is a kind of joke. I didn’t notice the Christmas ad cross until someone mentioned it on TV. I’m sure if anyone tried hard enough, you can find “crosses” in ads by other candidates. It just seems more noticable with Huckabee ads.
Dang I thought it was a playboy bunny.
But on a serious note I think the book case stuff on this post is nuts.
Don’t tell anyone...
...but I think I found a subliminal cross in my waffle, today.
Probably trying to keep from laughing.
>>The video shows it a lot better than the picture.
Huckabee Complaint Ad<<
Thanks for the link.
This is ridiculous... is the media now saying a candidate cannot be photographed in front of a brick wall because it looks Christian?
While I am no Huckabee supporter, I am really puzzled at this whole “subliminal cross” idiocy. First it was a book shelf, now what? Some cracks between rocks that don’t really even look anything at all like a cross unless you REALLY strain to force yourself to see it...ugh....some ignorant folks must really have too much time on their hands....and no life.
Now - Huckster - quit running from your record. It speaks much more loudly than any “negative ads” can....and volumes more than your own denials and double-talk.
bttt
To Huckabee, calling him out on his RECORD is “negative” - yet he refuses to answer any attacks on his record. Huck only says many of the claims are “untrue” but doesn’t specifically answer ANY of them.
A negative campaign would be calling his wife ugly or his kids fat. Making voters away of his liberal record is just campaigning - something he apparently can’t take very well.
[I really don’t see anything subliminal in it]
I don’t either but for some reason I feel the need to get under a blanket and having a good cry. lol.
We Catholics use a crucifix or a t as a representation of our faith, not a plus sign (the supposed *cross* of bookshelves fame), which is no representation of Christ whatever.
