Huckabee's Subliminal Cross

[toasty]

Have you all heard about this hubbub about Mike Huckbee's Xmas ad that has a cross over his shoulder that some people assert is intended to be a subliminal message regarding Huckabee's faith?

I haven't been able to figure out who it is that's pissed off about this. Is it the Christians, because they think Huck is trying to take a "holier than thou" (literally) approach? Candidates arguing amongst themselves as to who will most have their faith influence their policies? Boy, that's great news for America.

Or is the non-religious crowd who are pissed because there's a subtle reference to religion? Odd that this would cause such an uproar, because for an example of a not-so-subtle reference to religion, please consult everything that Mike Huckabee has ever said on the campaign trail. The guy has no concept of the separation of church and state and has literally called to "take the nation back for Christ." I'm surprised he didn't put an actual cross in his ad, as that would be entirely consistent with his platform...

Re: Huckabee's Subliminal Cross

he's been pretty damn good at getting the evangelical codewords into about everything he's done and said on this campaign...no doubt this was entirely intentional, but really who cares. It's not like he's held himself out as anything but. I mean he only was a Baptist pastor.
