Barack Huckabee
By VictorM:Unfortunately, combining religion and politics is here to stay. Mike Huckabee has pushed that envelop further than anyone in modern times, but Barack Obama seems eager to walk within striking distance. If they raise the stakes any higher they'll be walking on water pretty soon:
Today, Greg Sargent posted a brochure which the Obama campaign is distributing in South Carolina which seem to include religious appeals at least as overt and explicit as anything Huckabee has done. The center page of the brochure proclaims -- in the largest letters on the page -- that Obama is a "COMMITTED CHRISTIAN," and includes three pictures of Obama, all of which show him praying or preaching in a Church, and also includes a fourth picture: of the interior of a Church with a large cross lurking in the background. The page also says that Obama is "guided by his Christian faith" and quotes Obama saying: "We do what we do because God is with us.Obama supporters claim that the brochure was necessary to counter the false rumor that he's a Muslim. OK, I can understand that. I just hope Obama never gets accused of being a homosexual; I don't want to see pictures of him fucking his wife.

This was a good catch by Greenwald. I had listened and read news stories about the 2000 smear and the fact that they always used the passive voice wizzed right by my head until he pointed it out.
