Huckabee, as some of us have been pointing out, is a dirty snakeoil salesman. He’s at least two cuts below a used car salesman. There’s few things worse than a man who spouts Bible quotations while lying through his teeth and taking bribes.

He is assuming that he can get away with this kind of dirty trick because the time is short. By the time it comes out, it’s on to the next state and the next dirty trick.

Let’s hope he’s wrong. Unfortunately, the media will downplay or ignore this. I notice this is a Washington Compost Blog, and I doubt whether any of the TV channels will mention this, because they badly want Fred to lose. And conservatives don’t normally visit a Washington Compost blog.

Back during the bookcase/cross flap, many of us said that Huckabees deliberate cynical use of a deniable background element to insert a cross into his Christmas greeting, and his subsequent condescending denials indicated that he was not a trustworthy character. We were roundly derided at the time for being too sensitive and conspiracy mongers.

It is good to see many of our fellow FReepers have caught up with our assessment.

But liberals do. And Fred gets no support whatsoever from the commenters.

I don’t know Fred personally, but living in Nashville, which is actually more “town” than “city” in many way, I do know folks who’ve had dealings with him. And have never heard anything but positive stuff. He’s the only one of the candidates I find willing to tell the truth and would vote for him gladly in either the primary or the general. In the general election, I might be able to hold my nose and vote Romney, but Huckabee or Guiliani? I’ll stay home.

Huckster related groups did push-polling in Iowa, then in Michigan, now in SC.

If we don’t get this guy voted off the island quickly, he is going to stink up the whole campaign season.

It would be great if Thompson pulled out a miracle and trounced Huckster.

He's like the John Goodman character in "O Brother, Where Are Thou?". Great movie, even though it did have George Clooney.
