Nice try at redefining the issue, but it won’t work. Read my first post on this thread, #67. The issue for me isn’t the cross/bookcase, it’s the denial.
Huckabee is pathetic with the press. Pathetic. In the last week Obama had a controversy over hard drug use which could have tanked his candidacy had he been as ham-handed with the press as Huckabee. Instead, Obama deftly defused a dangerous situation by basically saying, “Yeah, it happened, so what?” That’s how a candidate deals with controversy—openly, honestly and head on, if he wishes to survive it.
Granted, a Democrat will always be treated better by the press than a Republican, but compared to heavy drug use, the cross incident is a non-story. Or at least it would have been if Huckabee hadn’t fueled the controversy by denying the obvious.
As for GOPers criticizing Huckabee, he has thrown his hat into the ring, and he is fair game. This is a political campaign, not a church potluck. No one gets special treatment and nothing is off limits. Now, not during the general election, is the time to vet candidates and get their negatives into the open. If your candidate doesn’t stand up well to that process, and he doesn’t, that’s his problem, not mine.

lol you make up an issue out of thin air *based on people mistaking a bookcase for a cross* and then ignore the foundation of your whole argument..
