Huckabee criticizes Obama for growing up near madrassas, but Huck grew up in KKK state.

He really is a bigoted ass. Playing the birther card and the race, and religion, card all simultaneously. Huck today:

And I have said many times, publicly, that I do think he has a different worldview and I think it is, in part, molded out of a very different experience. Most of us grew up going to Boy Scout meetings and, you know, our communities were filled with Rotary Clubs, not madrassas.

With all due respect to Arkansans, Huckabee's worldview, as compared to those of us who grew up in the north, was growing up in communities filled with the Ku Klux Klan.

In Arkansas and elsewhere, the Klan opposed bootleggers, and in 1922, two hundred Klan members set fire to saloons in Union County. The national Klan office was finally established in Dallas, Texas, but Little Rock, Arkansas was the home of the Women of the Ku Klux Klan. The first head of this auxiliary was a former president of the Arkansas WCTU.

If the man is going to throw stones, let's throw stones.

And exactly what part of Huckabee's worldview made him soft on rape? ("Huckabee in August 2007: I felt sorry for rapist")

2. Would Huckabee denouce ME for growing up in the same state as Madras(Oregon)?
I even hear they use molasses in Madras.

3. Cheap, cheap shot.
It will be every bit as effective as Palin mocking Obama for being a community organizer.
