I work in the media, I've known Mike Huckabee for over 10 years, and have worked with him on numerous occasions. As a longtime Freeper, it's always appalled me that people on this board are so full of vitriol about a man they know NOTHING about. When the MSM floated lie after lie about Sarah Palin, you refused to believe them, and rightly so. But when the New York Times, Mitt Romney's overpaid campaign mouthpieces or any other disreputable source slandered Huckabee, you all swallowed it like pigs at a trough.

Even now, I expect some knucklehead to drag up that long-refuted load of garbage from the Club for Growth, accusing Huckabee (the only major Republican who stood up on day one to denounce the $700 billion bailout and who continues to rail against the government takeover of Wall Street) of being a big government socialist, which he is anything but, and post it here for the 7,345,912th time.

Go ahead and flame away, but bear in mind that I was there during the 2008 campaign, and I know the real story from the original sources.

You're right about Huck and the bailout. Good on him for not backing it. He is an articulate voice for many conservative issues. We shouldn't be devouring our own. I will refrain from bad mouthing Huck.

However, if any Republican leader makes back handed digs against our gal Sarah, the gloves come off. I'll be "putting on the foil".*

What did you do? What was your position with the campaign?
