Huckabee hides his sermons

It isn’t fair, sure. The press corps only goes after people they personally like if they get *seriously * worried about how they’d fuck the country up (they never got to that point with Bush).

I’m not complaining about the press. I’m rebutting a position taken by Dopers in this thread. What the press does is neither here nor there AFAIAC.

Sounds like Huck doesn’t want to acknowledge in broad daylight the things that Jayzus told him were fine to say in a small church in West Bumfuck, but instead is essentially disowning those words.

Or maybe the sermon transcripts were indeed destroyed. Are you saying that he’s lying? If so, where’s your evidence?

And heck, even if he truly were refusing to release these transcripts, I wouldn’t blame him for declining to release them. It’s a no-win situation. If he declines, he’ll be accused of hiding something. If the agrees to release them, he gets accused of refusing to draw a firm line between church and state – and opens himself up to being quoted out of context by those with an anti-religious agenda. Either way, he loses.

I thrashed all that out in this thread two and a half months ago; I’m not going to go digging back into it now.

I don’t blame him either; that’s not my point.

My point is, in light of the near-universal acknowledgement that the content of Jeremiah Wright’s sermons are germane to Barack Obama’s worthiness to be our next President, it makes no sense to say that Mike Huckabee’s sermons weren’t germane to Mike Huckabee’s worthiness to be our next President.
