Another red herring. This is just another case of a talented artist, likely the director of the video, exercising his abilities in order to satisfy the complex demands of an important client. He might not even have told the Huckabee campaign about this detail.
Or it just a coincidence. In any case, no reason for demonizing this sincere man, whether you agree with all of his positions or not.
yes, but did you see the interview on CNN where the ticker ran that headline while they were interviewing Ron Paul? The media set up the interview so that it ran "Paul is Dead" while he was speaking...
ron paul was going to be a great president but cnn just felt like spending hours on every thing hilary and obama does event taking money out of the bank but do they show FREAKING GOD RON PAUL???
just what we dont need another bullshit coservtive president like huckabee. stay in war with iraq for honor bullshit. He is just another bush and we sure as hell dont need him like we need ron paul.
Common sense man. Look on his web site. His books, his writings. I love the man and it's for a reason: He wants to bring back Jeffersonian government AND bring back Christan values.
Example of his pro-Christian works:
Christmas in Secular America- criticizim of the secularization if Christmas.
What Does the First Amendment Really Mean?- Criticizing taking out "under God" from constitution.
This is why Ron Paul is the man. I'm not distorting, just reporting the facts. Paul loves to brag about his straight forward record. His works for reversing the secularization of America is therefore going to continue should he be elected. And I hope it does.
Huckabee is so full of crap if he thinks anyone believes that the "bookshelf-croos" wasn't placed there on purpose. Oh, how the Christians lie and distort.
Exactly. But who cares anyhows? Hyckabe won't force his faith either. I remember 8 years ago during Bush's election, they made the same argument. "Holycrapchristiantakoverohnoes!" 8 years later, no one even mentions Bush's faith. it turned out to be the least important thing. he never forced it on anyone. it turned out he was a globalist bastard.
It just amazes me how anyone could possible think these things. that, in the modern world, anyone could force anything.
Oh Yea, also, Ron Paul wants states rights because he is wise. He knows, Christians, being the majority, would automatically force states rights their way. He need not force his faith at all, the people will do it on their own. Power to da peoplez
"Paul is Dead" is a reference to the infamous theory that the Beatles had subliminal or backward messages about Paul McCartney having died. The ending to Strawberry Fields Forever, Revolution #9, Abbey Road cover, Sgt. Pepper cover, etc.

why does the christian majority think it is ok to paint themselves as victims when the minority disagrees with them JUST becuase they are in the majority? you cant say merry christmas in a general statements because it LEAVES OUT A LARGE PORTION OF THE COUNTRY! like me. fuck huck
Ron Paul isn't dead, but a lot of us will be if he becomes President! Either that, or homeless...whichever.
...
Dennis Kucinich 2008! Watch "Don't Be A Chicken" YouTube animation, read HR 676 health plan, be informed, get congress to vote YES, and spread the word!!
Well if you are on welfare, or dependent on the government. Or just a bad person that nobody likes. If you like your freedom, and you dont mind working then you and everyone else will be ok. That trillion dollars that he will cut from federal coffers will be put into American citizens hands, where it belongs. They will spend it on things that will create jobs. Free markets are nothing to be scared about.
HAHAHAHA!!!! I'd prefer to keep my doctor visit slightly more enjoyable than a trip to the DMV thank you very much. Kucinich is done, like it or not. you better start supporting the only American out there. Ron Paul 08!!!
Like George Bush, Huckabee is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He has bent the knee to the C.F.R. That explains all the free media publicity he's been getting.
Not contrived? What a joke. Huckabee is a phony conservative and a disgrace to Christianity.This homeschool mom isn't fooled by another piece of C*F*R trash!
Why would he say Paul is dead? Maybe he is scared of how well Paul is doing. This is a threat. Why isn't the police doing anything about it? I don't trust him at all.
Not bad timing, not funny! This was a death threat hiding behind the Bible. More sickness trying to get to the White House.
This statement makes me believe Huckabee knows of an impending assassination plot against Ron Paul. Does he also realize this WILL CAUSE a REVOLUTION here IN AMERICA? Huckabee's gruesome words would make him public enemy number one if something happens to Ron Paul.
its obvious that they are focusing the light on the bookshelf and not the christmas tree like most people would. no lights at all on the tree. who wants a president that lies or is too stupid to realize that the bookshelf looks like a cross.
everyone that knows about advertising knows that there could not have been anything more intentional. What a scumbag, Rat and trator!!!Never liked him..."he don't fly straight"!
I am the furthest away from being a piece of shit racist, but there you got a negro bowing down to the lying white man, Huckabee,... "he's authentic" whatta laugh.
This election isn't a contest for how many times a guy says "Jesus" on TV. We're choosing the direction of policy, not a personality. That Huckabee's Christian, genuine and charming is not a guarantee of anything (ex: see GWB), plenty of Christians make horrible decisions - just like every other human being. It's policy that counts. That said, imho, the war in Iraq must end.
At least Ken Blackwell has some common sense here...What is more subliminal, having a bookshelf that looks like a cross or plainly saying "MERRY CHRISTMAS"? Why be subliminal when the message is so plainly stated in the first place!? People are attacking Huck for a message of good tidings. Judging from the political reaction, one might have thought he said "Go to hell."
Give me a break. That's the most blatant use of a religious symbol that I've ever seen. It's the most brightly lit bookcase in the history of bookcases.
Huckabee is giving Romney a run for his money in the sleaze department.
No one is arguing if its a bookshelf or not Huckatard.
Look at the placement of the tree and the angle of the shot and his head to shortn the sides to look like a cross. Even before his head starts to go over the right side, half of that side of the cross is shadowed out. Why cant huckabee give a stright anwser.
blvoss: I agree that the name of Christ should be honored and not abused. I believe that in the world today, when it comes to judging a person's character, faith in Christ and the fruit of the spirit are irrefutable evidence. Therefore, while some may say Huckabee is using his faith to gain status- I believe he is stating his faith that DEFINES him and he will give the glory to God.

I didn't think it was a cross...I thought it was the ghost of a small mangy dog who got HUNG by a boyscout troopp leader...then had his throat cut..all in front of the boyscouts.
HUCKABEES son did that...then he tried to get him out of it ! ! ! Real Presidential!
Threatening death on somebody should never be declared as a prank. -I can't believe how people are taking this, and this guy is supposed to be a baptist minister. -But I bet if Ron Paul did a prank like this people would call him a psycho.
Mike Huckabee is far from authentic. He is prepackaged, plastic and borderline pretentious. If it was just a bookcase, why then show it, just keep the camera static?
