GOP Debate: MSM Disregards Huck's Radical Egalitarianism

Yeah, it was a yawner. Even so, in its coverage of today's GOP debate the MSM seems to have overlooked a stunning espousal of radical egalitarianism by Mike Huckabee that, at least in this NewsBuster's view, reflects a fundamental misreading of the Declaration of Independence and a departure from conservative values.

Ping to Today show list. I’m taking the rare occasion of urging my fellow FReepers to have a look.

Interesting how well liked Huckabee was until he started winning. Now I know how the New England Patriots feel.

Huckabee flies by the seat of his pants. There is no there there.

“Interesting how well liked Huckabee was until he started winning.”

He hasn’t won anywhere yet. Interesting how much the liberal media liked him when they discovered how liberal he was. Interesting how much the Democrats liked him when they discovered how easy he might be to beat.

Exactly! We should use the ENEMEDIA as a reverse barometer of whom to nominate!

Hunter and Tancredo are getting the least coverage, ergo, they are the most qualified!

Mike Huckabee is the Harriet Miers of presidential politics. The more we hear about him, the worse it gets.

Huckabee is, in fact, that rarest of political creatures: a pro-life Democrat.

A Reagan Democrat, that seems to have no home in either party - ironically, that's where ALOT of America is today ...

He certainly has no home in any GOP I want to be in.

Was reading a story recently, that the marching orders have come down from the Dems leadership for Huckabee to be left alone. That Dems and the MSM are *NOT* to attack him in any way, until he wins the Nomination, because they think they’ve got an easy win against him. Like they’ve already got a big burgeoning file full of things to destroy him with.

According to Intrade, the winner of today’s GOP debate was... Duncan Hunter.
