... religious bigot ...

Your criticisms of Huckabee for the most part are accurate, but when you throw the "religious bigot" part in there it makes you sound like one of these Christophobes of the left. I'm not sure what you mean by "religious bigot" but the most common context in which I've heard that term used is by the Rosie O'Donut types who suggest that evangelical Christians are just like the Islamofacists who attacked us on 9/11/01.

I mostly agree with the characterization. He has shown an intolerance of Mormons in the past. He spews anti-Mormonism (when it’s convenient).

It may not be borne of “hate,” which is true bigotry, but it certainly is repulsive. I can’t think of any mainstream religious faith that I would be intolerant of. Huckabee seems to have found one.

In addition to the other points made, Huckabee has rubbed elbows with some pretty rancid anti-Catholic types.

When you outrightly use Christian biases against the Mormon candidate, then you are a bigot.

Although Romney is full of $hit and a double-talker, he does not deserve that.

Puh-leeze. That wink-wink-nudge-nudge "I'm not exactly saying that Mormons believe that Lucifer was Jesus' brother..." stunt was a clear appeal to religious bigotry (compounded by being delivered in such a spineless weasel way).
