Mike Huckabee Gains Second Honor

Mike Huckabee, erstwhile preacher man and presidential wannabe, has earned his second GOP Hypocrite of the Week award from BuzzFlash. He garnered his first honor just a few short weeks ago. We already know Huckabee is not fit to be president and his words and actions just keep reminding us of that. But the big question is whether Corporate Media will continue to let him slip past their radar. Oh, what are we saying? That radar has been inoperative since December 2000.

Just how hypocritical is the engaging, "authentic" Mike Huckabee? Oh, let us count the ways.

Today, we'll just focus on one: the faith issue.

On Huckabee's campaign Web site, he has an "issues" section on "faith and politics," in which he appears to make a claim for a tolerance of all faiths under the Constitution:

The First Amendment requires that expressions of faith be neither prohibited nor preferred. We should not banish religion from the public square, but should guarantee access to all voices and views. We should share and debate our faith, but never seek to impose it. When discussing faith and politics, we should honor the "candid" in candidate -- I have much more respect for an honest atheist than a disingenuous believer.

Take special note of the sentence: "We should share and debate our faith, but never seek to impose it."

Well, just before the Michigan primary, Huckabee told supporters:

"[Some of my opponents] do not want to change the Constitution, but I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God, and that's what we need to do is to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards"
