"I more than likely will NOT vote for Huckabee, but I am getting sick and tired of people spewing out terms, like protestant socialist, Baptist preacher, ect. like it was vomit in their mouth." -----
I think you misunderstood the comment. The original context was a poster who said (I'm paraphrasing, but this is close): "We don't need two socialist parties; one secular and one protestant"
There's no criticism of protestantism intended (I'm protestant). The point is just that we shouldn't let our sympathy and respect for his religious convictions blind us to the fact that, aside from abortion and guns, he's just as far left as Hillary and Obama.

Indeed but many here have taken the opportunity to allow their own personal bias(s) against Southern Protestants to take on new life in their disdain for Huckster
hell, there are folks who just dismiss the whole state of Arkansas...
it’s the old it’s ok to bash Southern Christians thing here....
and the ignorance...many non Southerners here think Evangelicals are by default right wing and the same as Fundies and Charismatics....so ill informed

TRUE!! And, many people don't know that for years there has been a split between the Moderate (Liberal) and Conservative Southern Baptists. Huckabee is a known leader amongst the "flaming" Moderates (Liberals) in the SBC.
