n fact, if somebody came to Arkansas and told us what to do with our flag we'd tell them where to put the pole."

That's a polite Christian thing to say. /s

Huckabee is just telling people what they want to hear, when they want to hear it. On thing is certain, he will not give a second thought to what he says in South Carolina after 8:00 PM Saturday.

The purpose of the statement is to get votes for Mike Huckabee and get Mike Huckabee elected. Nothing else matters.

Kind of reminds you of another Me/Me/Me kind of guy from Arkansas, doesn’t it?

[o_zarkman44]

You mean there is another Dope from Hope?

[popdonnelly]

I guess Huck won’t be the darling of the media anymore.

Yes it does!

Just another in a long list of reasons I will never vote for this smuck!

[murron]

They’ll continue to love him until he gets the nomination, and then the gloves will come off when he’s up against the Hildebeast or B.Hussein.

Then there is the Arkansas Flag and I’m surprised no one has asked The Huckster what the blue star above the word “ARKANSAS” commerates?

And besides it IS our history. This flag needs to be preserved so that we know where we’ve been, it should not be a political football.

When my daughter heard that on the news, she looked at me and asked what they were trying to do with the Arkansas flag that had the guy so upset.

It took a while for me to explain he was just using it as an example, and then she asked what they were trying to do to the South Carolina flag.

When I explained that they weren’t trying to do anything to the South Carolina flag either, she then said “then what was he talking about”?

I think she understands it very well. Of course, she loves Fred Thompson. She had no idea who Huckabee was though when she saw the video.

All the rednecks I know in south florida who still wear/fly/display Confederate items are all democrats. Good ol’ boy yellow dog types.

[Piquaboy]

Isn’t that black Mooselimb also from Hope? Baaaarack Osommomma.

[puroresu]

I’m a Confederate Flag defender and I ain’t votin’ for the Huckster. I don’t trust him on this or any other issue.

[no dems]

I must say that in this case I agree with the Huckster and good for him for not taking the media’s bait.

[Puppage]

Huckabee is just telling people what they want to hear

Like every other politician.

[gridlock]

Like every other politician.

As long as we keep voting for people who tell us pretty lies, we can't expect them to change.

[no dems]

Hey, I’m not a Huck supporter but this is an issue that is NONE OF THE PRESIDENT’S BUSINESS. EVER HEAR OF STATE’S RIGHTS?

The media was baiting him and he was right not to bite.
