DEMS HOLD FIRE ON HUCKABEE; SEE 'EASY KILL' IN GENERAL ELECTION Tue Dec 11 2007 10:27:53 ET
**Exclusive**
Democrat party officials are avoiding any and all criticism of Republican presidential contender Mike Huckabee, insiders reveal.
The Democratic National Committee has told staffers to hold all fire, until he secures the party's nomination.
The directive has come down from the highest levels within the party, according to a top source.
Within the DNC, Huckabee is known as the "glass jaw -- and they're just waiting to break it."
In the last three weeks since Huckabee's surge kicked in, the DNC hasn't released a single press release criticizing his rising candidacy.
The last DNC press release critical of Huckabee appeared back on March 2nd.
[DNC Press Release Attack Summary:
Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA) ? 37% (99 press releases) Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY) ? 28% (74) Senator John McCain (R-AZ) ? 24% (64) Senator Fred Thompson (R-TN) ? 8% (20) Governor Mike Huckabee ? 2% (4)]
In fact, as the story broke over the weekend that Huckabee said he wanted to isolate AIDS patients back in 1992, the DNC ignored the opportunity to slam the candidate from the left.
"He'll easily be their McGovern, an easy kill," mocked one senior Democrat operative Tuesday morning from Washington.
"His letting out murders because they shout 'Jesus', his wanting to put 300,000 AIDS patients and Magic Johnson into isolation, ain't even scratching the surface of what we've got on him."
The discipline the Democrats have shown in not engaging Huckabee has earned the praise of one former Republican Party official:
"The Democrats are doing a much better job restraining themselves than the GOP did in 2003 when Howard Dean looked like he was on the brink of winning the nomination."
A close friend to Huckabee explains: "Look, Mike is Hillary Clinton's worst nightmare. They should be squirming."

Hold on to this Flashback piece. We’ll need it later.
And don’t forget how “overexposed” Huck is with his years long talk show on Fox.
Dem/Rino talking points are more evidence of their double standards where Palin is concerned.
Gotta love that toned-down, less metaphorical, political rhetoric.
Sure hope my tagline doesn't incite someone to violence.
I have always wondered where the outcries from the seperation church and state crowd is for even having him in consideration. He is a former minister you know.
Huck, the other dirty joke from Hope...
What’s with this word “Kill”, is it like white people can’t use the N word. Political Correctness Kills.
One more reason for our people to avoid and marginalize the MSM.
Nice find.
Palin is going to win.....
