Entry: Bill Donohue Is Right About the Huckster Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/bill_donohue_is_right_about_the_huckster#12270 Post contents: Ron Paul's statement regarding the Huckabee ad can be understood in two opposing ways, probably more, and for that reason alone it was not only unwise but a sign that he really hadn't thought the matter out. He claims to have been tired when he made the statement, but in a radio interview he had two chances with a friendly interviewer to clarify his meaning and muffed them both, explaining instead his thought process in making the remarks rather than saying what he thought, after reflection, of the ad. As for Huckabee, if he wants to introduce religion into political discussion, he should stick to words rather than symbols and subliminal suggestion. That way they, the words, can be dealt with on their own merits. Quite frankly, I find most interjections of religion into politics embarrassing, inept, self-serving and, in a pluralistic society like ours, mostly preaching to one's own particular choir. It takes a special kind of genius to do this sort of thing honestly and well. The country desperately needs it, but then it needs many things. Meanwhile, with regard to Ron Paul, political campaigning is pretty much an on the job training proposition. Sent at: 2008 08 29
