I didn't want this to happen here. Or, knowing Mike as well as we do, not so much. There's oodles of topics started by us that have gone ignored. Mainly because I think the point made was so crystal clear there's no defense of what's been done. Check some of them out.
I thought maybe Mike would read one of them, and actually post; "Huh. You're right. That guy's an idiot, regardless of political affiliation, and should have said/done that." You, me, Nutty, and Chuck have all done that to some extent throughout this forum. But not Mike!
Instead, silence.
I'm not afraid of addressing the meat of the issue, but when the thread is titled, "Huckabee's Preacher" and that's in the very first thread, THAT is the meat of the issue. If the guy is a kook, I've no problem saying that. In fact, without doing any research on my own, for the sake of argument, I'll except this guy is every bit as kooky as you guys have stated.
However the importance of this story hinges on his relationship to Huckabee. There are no end of kooky preachers. We just had one start an international incident last week. However how this is important to Huckabee is totally dependent on his relationship with him. So comparing him to Wright, which you did, you would expect that they have to have an extremely close relationship, not just one where you are promoting his book on your show. So your intent with this thread was deceptive from the start.
I don't care for that.
By not addressing my concern that I've posted throughout this thread, I assume you are conceding that no, he isn't really Huckabee's preacher. So then the question is: What sort of relationship does he have with Huckabee? Whatever that search turns up, I'm pretty sure it's not going to turn up anything like a Wright-Obama connection, or we would have heard about in in 2008.
