"Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." As Matthews points out, this is dangerous talk. It’s also an about-face for Huckabee, who was one of the few who seemed to believe that the President was an American citizen, born in Honolulu. Faced with a birther radio announcer, Huckabee went completely around the bend as you’ll see.
By the time the interview is over, Huckabee has stated that the President was raised in Kenya by his Kenyan father and grandfather, and supposes all manner of conclusions for the young fantasy Obama owing to the Mau Mau rebellion! There’s a future in fiction for Huckabee after this silly political phase has passed.
In defense of Gomer Pyle, he is no worse than the 11 states which have passed legislation to require President Obama to provide a certified copy of his original birth certificate or not be allowed on the ballot in the 2012. The States are Arizona, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Connecticut, Indiana, Nebraska, Tennessee, Maine and as of next week Georgia.
