Huckabee and Coulter: A New Political Power Couple?


So Robin Gerber of the Huffington Post is pretty sure that they will be perfect for each other. She dug up a comment by Huckabee from almost ten years ago about how he would like Christians to take the nation back for Christ and compared it to Coulter's way more antisemitic remake. This may have to fall under the category of being a little bit of a stretch.


If I would have to interpret Huckabee's comment it would seem that it is more likely to mean that he would like the nation to become more conservative; that is following the conservative doctrines which as we all know tend to be based on the religious views of some of the citizens of this country. Coulter's remark on the other hand was a knock on the Jewish faith. She disagreed with the basic doctrine's of the faith while Huckabee seems to have been focusing on reviving the doctrines of his own faith.


This falls under the category of unfair attack. There is no proof that Huckabee hates other faiths but simply that he really likes his own. It is obvious that this was simply an attack on him to make him look bad or draw attention to his religion. Unfortunately, this is sometimes the result of people who have their own agenda. By linking Mike to Ann, Gerber is trying to discredit him.
