LOL Cross design?
O NOZ! A Cross design....
Actually my choice also includes people, such as yourself, with a big ol ax to grind seeing a rather standard book case and screaming cross!

I’m not shocked. Disgusted. But not shocked, nor even surprised. I expect politicians to lie. I expect certain politicians to go overboard and bring God into their lies. It doesn’t surprise me when they do. But it doesn’t make me vote for them either. Now, if Duncan Hunter put out an ad this disgusting, I’d be shocked.
Yeah, I understood that much. If Huck were really this “genuine” guy that he keeps telling us he is, he would have admitted to it. Of course the cross was there on purpose. On top of that, wasn’t Silent Night playing in the background. I’m not in Iowa, NH, or any of the early primary states, so I haven’t seen many of the other candidates Christmas ads. If someone knows, what were the songs being played in the background in the other candidates ads? Secular “Holiday” songs?
“I don’t care about the use of the cross.
I care about a former preacher LYING about intentionally using the cross.”
I’m in total agreement here. I’m just astonished at how the media is trying to crucify the guy for having a cross in his ad. They always bring up the cross, but have you noticed they seem to skip the part with the Huckster saying that the birth of Christ is the reason for the Christmas season? That is the more important message to me. Not some bookshelf in the background.
If no one involved in the filming of the ad, neither the set designer, nor the art director, nor the producer, nor the director, nor the cameraman, nor the representatives from the Huckabee campaign nor especially Huckabee himself noticed the great, big, honking cross design on the book shelf in the background, then they’re incompetent. And someone who is too incompetent to produce a 30-second ad without an obvious, unwanted subliminal message embedded in it has no business being leader of the free world.
If, however, they put the cross in the ad deliberately, they’re obfuscating, to put it nicely. So, your choice—incompetent or obfuscating, one or the other.

I, as a devout Christian, have no problem with a cross in an ad about Christmas. I do, however, have a problem with another devout Christian lying about the patently obvious.
As you of course know, the book shelf didn’t look anything like a catalog page in the commercial. It did, however, bear a striking resemblance to a big, white cross positioned perfectly over the candidates’s right shoulder.

That way the costs can be kept way down.
She’s too stupid and ditzy to tell the difference ~ Freud’s words would have been wasted wouldn’t they.
HUCKSTER IS NOTHING BUT A WIMP...
Truly, it is the sort of thing we expect out of the ACLU, not a bunch of Freepers.
How many bookcases are made with triangles, circles, pentagons, spirals? NONE! They are made with horizontal and vertical boards and where they meet is a cross. Nothing spiritual about it. If a candidate wants to use a 100ft cross behind them, fine!
The media wants to make something out of this don't give them any more ammo!
Look out its coming right at us... 6 Crosses, 3 on their side!

Sure as heck looks like a segment of such a shelf to me.. There is even stuff on the shelves.
I heard that he had a gastric bypass as well. The photos of him at his lowest weight are just ghastly.
I just have to laugh at all the grinding of teeth over one of the more common bookshelf designs ever seen..
Yea Huck would mention Christ by name but shy away from a cross?
This has got to be the ultimate yawn non-story.
Good point, I didn't see that.
Please forgive my reaction to this thread, which is zzzzzzzzz...
It goes straight to his true character.
An ex-preacher who will purposefully use a cross image in a political ad, AND THEN LIE ABOUT IT, will lie about ANYTHING.
Based on the information in this piece, how do we know a tracking dolly was used in Huckabee’s commercial?
