Huckabee's Pandering

Andrew Sullivan highlight's Huckabee's "repulsive pandering":
Huckabee, today, in Florence, South Carolina: "I know what would happen if somebody comes to my state in Arkansas and tells us what to do, it doesn't matter what it is, tell us how to run our schools, tell us how to raise our kids, tell us what to do with our flag — you want to come tell us what to do with the flag, we'd tell them what to do with the pole."
Uh, Mr. Huckabee.... the rest of us DID come to Arkansas (and Alabama and Mississippi and Georgia and South Carolina) circa 1860, and again circa 1963, and we DID tell you what to do, and you eventually realized the shame and immorality of your racism and caved.... so don't go trying to put on a big show now. You lost that battle 40 years ago, as well you should have. Today, getting all puffed up, you just look foolish and ignorant.
