Instead of quoting from an AP release of the story that sensationalized one aspect of a 12 page article in which he was first baited into commenting on whether Mormonism is a cult or religion (Huckabee answers, "religion") he (Hugh Hewitt) should have done due diligence...

HICKabee = Carter Redux

Isn’t that what opposing campaigns do? Hugh DOES work for the Romney campaign doesn’t he?
Hugh Hewitt owes the people of California an apology for his support of Schwarzenegger.
The guy is worse than worthless.
The Huckster owes everyone an apology for claiming to be a conservative when he knows that’s a lie. I’ll let the two RINO’s Romney and the Huckster hash out their differences, but I won’t be weighing in to defend either.
Maybe Huck should just shut up about other people’s religion.
Does he not realize he is running for the leader of the free world?
The President of the United States of America? The Commander in Chief?
That we have men in TWO WAR THEATERS right now?
Is that flames and smoke I see?
Yes! It's that much MSM lauded experimental rocket ... "The Huckster".
McCullough shilling for Huckabee nowdays?
I read all eleven pages. Huckabee was not taken out of context. The question was whether he thought Mormonism was a cult or religion. He said, “religion,” and could have stopped there. Instead he volunteered the next statement.
By Huckabee’s actions I do not believe he would uphold the Constitutional freedom of religion to which all Americans are entitled. Huckabee is a “my way or the highway” Christian, incapable of impartially governing a religiously pluralistic society. He is unworthy to be President.
If a presidential candidate isn't weighing every word that comes out of his mouth - especially on such an explosive subject - he has no business in the race. Huckabee knew full well what he was saying and who he was saying it to. He was reminding Christian conservatives of who the "real" Christian in the race was.
The Huckster is a con man. Has he apologized for that?
>>Maybe The Huckster should apologize to Mitt first. He asked a question not to “ask” anything, but to smear Mitt on his religion. Very low. Its clear the Huckster is a political opportunist and a scam artist.<<
We don’t need to be calling candidates names - we can address them on the issues and their actions.
That’s my reading of Huckabee’s action as well. He is supposed to have a degree in theology and he feigns knowing nothing about Mormonism? I just don’t buy the “innocent question” explanation for bringing up the canard about Satan... It was brought up intentionally...”wink, wink, nudge, nudge”. Had Romney spread disinformation about Baptists using the form of an “innocent question” you can bet there’d be plenty of brimstone spewed about.
I don’t support either Huckabee or Romney, but I have to wonder why is it okay to ask Huckabee over and over again what he believes on a religious point of doctrine (Is Mormonism a religion or a cult), but not okay to ask Romney about his religious beliefs (Are Jesus and the devil brothers)?
Personally, I don’t want a Baptist preacher in the White House (because I’m concerned that many Baptists are fiscally liberal and in favor of social programs), but I would like to see a little even play in these things.
“The Huckster is a con man. Has he apologized for that?”
A con man commenting on a religion invented by a con man....how ironic.
Sure we do. When a candidate acts and speaks like a jerk, then I think we Americans should call them for who they are.
