Recall the Dean Takedown of 2004. It was a perfect plan, perfectly executed. The idea that dean was unstable, on drugs, in psychotherapy, etc, were slowly planted over time. The groundwork went on for months. Then, in one unscripted moment, Dean confirmed every suspicion with the “Yeeeeaaagh”.
Taken in isolation, the “Yeeeeaaagh” was the kind of run-of-the-mill crowd-stoking that candidates do every day of the week. But after the seeds had been planted so carefully, it only took a little nudge to get everybody in the Round-Heeled Media to say that it was an idication that the stress of losing Iowa had put Howard Dean over the edge.
Now, what are the seeds being planted today about Huckabee? Holy Roller... Bible Thumper... Religiously Intolerant... These perceptions are being carefully nurtured. Eventually, Huckabee is going to do something that plays into this perception, and it will get five days of air-play, and it will all be over.
The trap is being set even as we speak.
No, he will never willingly release any of his sermons...and for good reason. But someone will, and he will be toast.
GOING TO???
Huckabee's comment equating the Devil as being Jesus' brother already WAS a psycho moment, in my world.
Huckabee feigned "ignorance" of the LDS Church!!
Baloney. He is an ordained minister, and thus has intimate knowledge of all Christian sect religions.
Huckabee is a sinister, sneaky below-the-belt candidate and the sooner he is taken down the better.
