I wonder, though, if folks ought to be helping him over this instead of joining the MSM in attacking him.

My impression is that the MSM isn't really attacking him - they're not using the kinds of loaded expressions you usually get when they're in persecution mode. There's also no full-court press* in which they investigate everything he's ever done, the way they went after Palin. They're treating this as an aberration - an unusual exception that shouldn't affect what they'd like to see as a general rule, paroles that are granted early and often. Conservatives are reading the news and slamming Huck for the facts in plain view - Huck has set free two people who killed after their release.

* I don't think, for instance, that the media have investigated whether the 1000 other people he paroled have since carried out felonies that - Willie Horton-style - did not involve killing people.

You’re probably right about the MSM not being in full attack mode, They’re not as afraid of Huck as they are of Sarah. I just don’t care to see conservatives go too far in attacking Huck ,either. I does our cause no good. He has a good heart, and his benevolence got him in trouble. We have to remember that people like Huckabee weren’t raised up with people like Clemmons. The elementary school bully was probably the worst person Huck ever knew. And I wouldn’t go so far as call him out as a liar on this issue. He did what he thought to be the right thing to at the time. Unfortunatly ,it wasn’t.

Please note that some of his attempts at even more clemencies were blocked by various sources, including the parole board & public outcry.
