“With a broad brush, you blame FReepers’ opposition to Huckabee’s terrible record on some sort of anti-Baptist bigotry??”
Well....to bad. It is the truth. A great many here just don’t like Mike’s belief system. They consider him a dumb Bible thumping hick. However, they just aren’t forthright in admitting it.
I’ve got no problem with someone not liking my or Huckabee’s theology. They just need to admit that is the root problem instead of hiding behind other stuff.
For instance, I have never denied or hidden that I do not nor will ever support Romney because he is a Mormon. The same is true of Glen Beck and Donny Osmond for that matter. Yes, I am a bigot in regards to Mormonisn and other cults.
BTW - I never said all. I think most are just enamored with another candidate and this was an oppportunity to see him go. Others were anti conservative protestant Christianity (which Southern Baptists make up the largest group).
Uh, Huckabee has a history of releasing violent criminals. You are the one hiding from the truth.
