You're kidding, right? I just went back and listened too. There was lots of "enthusiastic applause"! And words of encouragement too, something like "Yeah! That's right!"
The video, btw, came from Right Wing Watch, not TP. Now on to Think Progress...
http://thinkprogress.org/2011/03/31/mike-huckabee-david-barton/Oh. I'm glad I went back, though. The last paragraph (the one mentioning applause) had another interesting note:
funny you saw the word "applause" but nothing about the comments being scrubbed, huh?
So you heard no laughter, only applause right after Huckabee made that comment? Nahh. Listen again.
The video was on both right wing watch and TP. At least RWW didn't try to mischaracterize it (other than the obvious!) Something you already know if you saw the comment about the gun comment being scrubbed, so why are you trying to bullshit me when you already know I saw the comment?
As far as the comment being scrubbed, it may have been scrubbed on the site they were speaking about (although since the TP article stated it, that makes it questionable) but it wasn't scrubbed on the two versions you posted, so why would I mention that?
Now I'm still waiting for the Bill Ayers connection. I thought you were going to elaborate on that?
