Huckabee Hints Clear Channel Conspiring With Romney
NewsBusters ^ | Matthew Sheffield

Posted on 02/04/2008 7:25:13 AM PST by RatherBiased.com

Speaking at a news conference in Oklahoma, Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee floated the idea that the reason the vast majority of America's conservative talk radio hosts aren't endorsing him or John McCain is because Mitt Romney's investment firm owns a significant share of Clear Channel Communications, the nation's largest radio syndication company.

"Some suggest that the fact that Bain Capital owns a major stake in Clear Channel is on Sean's network, maybe there's a correlation. I don't know."

The Sean he was referring to had to be none other than Sean Hannity, America's number-two talk radio host behind Rush Limbaugh.

“Some suggest that the fact that Bain Capital owns a major stake in Clear Channel is on Sean’s network, maybe there’s a correlation. I don’t know.”

For a man who doesn’t know a lot, he sure likes to talk a lot.

Wow, Huckabee has been hanging out with Ron Paul too much.
No mention from him of News Corp conspiring with John McCain though...

I give Huckabee a little more credit it does seem strange how Hannity has become such a Romney Shill and Romney is not exactly a Conservative Icon...

Thanks. You're all about raising the level of discourse, I see.

Then I guess the McCain supporters Michael Medved and John Gibson didn’t get the memo that they should be supporting meal ticket Romney. (sarc)

Huckabee has shown what he really is: a nasty little pr**k . At first I thought it was just that he hates Mitt because Mitt is rich and handsome, with a beautiful family, but it’s become obvious that Huck is kissing up to McCain in order to get McCain to pick him for VP.

No he didn’t say Romney told them what to say... He said Romney paid them to say what he wants them to say...

See the differance...

Huck hasn’t a chance in hell of winning. These silly accusations just make him look petty and small.

We all know he is in the tank for McCain.

If his ignorant campaign hadn’t of come out and attacked talk radio, he would never of had the problem.

This is just DIRTY POLITICS by Huckabee

(States his claim with no references and then says - but “I don’t know...”)

Very slick.

LOl! Yep, you were right. We had another Huck and Friends morning, with a dose of his ventriloquist dummie, Chuck.

Nor Charles Krauthammer whom really is the true Conservative commentator but he has exposed Romney on a few occasions...
