Entry: Bill Donohue Is Right About the Huckster Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/bill_donohue_is_right_about_the_huckster#12317 Post contents: Let's look at Mr. "I'm a good guy" Huckabee. Last week Huckabee was using the New York Times to attack Mitt Romney's Mormonism--the infamous "Do Mormons really believe Jesus and the Devil are brothers" question. It's was a cheap, and perhaps slanderous shot, not to mention a ridiculous interjection of religious subject matter into a presidential election campaign. But what is even worse is Huckster claimed to CNN later that he was supposedly forced into asking that question by the Times reporter covering him. Then, Huckster gives this phony-baloney apology to Romney, again claiming it was all just an innocent mistake, not a clever hit job to push the buttons of his anti-Mormon, evangelical followers. This week he comes out with a political commercial which doesn't mention politics (except in a Masonic sense) where Huckster simply wishes everybody a Merry Christmas while a big cross floats back-and-forth in the background, obviously to implying to everyone watching that he is real or the best Christian in the race. Kinda sleazy, but to make it so much worse he has to lie to everybody that it is just our imagination; that the floating cross is just a white bookcase; that he has no idea what anybody is talking about; and then he jokes about the whole controversy to the media that if you play the commercial backward it says "Paul is dead." Then yesterday Robert Novak reported "Huckabee's base is reflected by sponsors of Tuesday's fund-raising luncheon (requesting up to $4,600 a couple) at the Houston home of Dr. Steve Hotze, a leader in the highly conservative Christian Reconstruction movement." For anyone who supports liberty and the Constitution, the possible links between the Huckabee campaign and the Christian Reconstruction is very, very ominous sign. The Christian Reconstruction movement is all about creating a Christian fundamentalist theocracy in America, and having the Bible as the law of the land as it were. To be fair, I would guess Huckabee is himself not an actual Christian Reconstructionist, but major figures in that movement are attending expensive fundraisers for Huckabee. Are there Christian Reconstructionists in the Huckabee campaign, particularly in positions of power? Will there be Christian Reconstructionists in high positions of power if Huckabee (God forbid!) wins the presidency? Does Huckabee disavow the ideology and agenda of Christian Reconstructionism?
