What of Huckabee? Why would he be inclined to support the suppression of free speech? I’m sure the author has bought into the media myth that he’s just some hayseed hick Baptist Preacher who wants a pulpit in the Rose Garden. Here are some interesting facts about Huckabee the author may not have caught in his exhaustive research:

1. Huckabee served 10 1/2 years as Governor of Arkansas where he brought the state out of the Third World mire left behind by Clinton and Jim Guy Tucker. Schools from 49th in the nation to 8th, rebuilt infarastructure, cut taxes 94 times (and raised them 5 times) with a net per-year tax increase that was less that Mitt’s tax increases, er, fees. Oh, and an $800 million surplus.

2. Huckabee served 1 1/2 years as lieutenant governor. One of few Republicans to do that since Reconstruction. He won re-election in a largely DemoKKKrat state, earning 48% of the African-American vote. Also unheard of for a Southern Republican.

3. You already know this… He was a Baptist Preacher serving in two pastorates.

4. This is the reason he would oppose the Fairness Doctrine:
a. He was a media owner
b. He was a CONSERVATIVE TALK SHOW HOST — albeit, probably not as good as El rushbo
c. He owned Christian media — which would be crushed by the Fairness Doctrine

I won’t pass judgment on the author — I can’t tell you how many times I posted something without having anything but my impressions and my opinion to back it up. However, before making fantastic claims that a Christian media owner and talk show host would enact the Fairness Doctrine and crush his own industry because of a snit over Limbaugh, check some facts. Speaking of snits, all this started because some guy posing as a Huckabee staffer in Washington called Rush an “entertainer”. Turns out, Huckabee didn’t even have staff in Washington — it was all a hoax and Rush has probably known that for several weeks now.

Of course, given the elite Eastern talk radio “jihad” against him, such an assumption apparently seems logical.

But to attack Huck without any facts whatsoever is wholly irresponsible.

BTW, Romney is no “true conservative” He’s a focus-group driven wonk that flip-flops for political gain.

Romney is the latest darling of the MSM because he polls as the weakest candidate against the Democrats. They know that Romney plays into virtually every elite, country-club, big business, establishment stereotype the media pushes about Republicans.

Many Heartlanders will assume that given the collapse of Rudy’s Florida strategy, the clubby New York-Boston-Washington Ivy League golf & cocktail circuit (to which all network types and most talk radio pundits apparently aspire) has settled on Romney because he’s from that discrete and insular social strata. The Ivy League snobs simply can’t risk someone in power who didn’t matriculate at a selective Eastern college or who hasn’t genuflected to the REAL powers on Wall Street and Madison Avenue.
