All along, Huckabee has said his liberal stance on illegal immigration is brought on by his desire to make atonement for slavery, “a second chance for America to get right with God.”

Veterans of South Carolina politics have been waiting and wondering what the last minute stunt would be leading up to Saturday’s First-in-the-South bellwether Republican primary. I predicted it would be a Confederate flag stunt and begged the Ron Paul campaign to make his positions on the War Between the States better known, early on.
The stunt ads came out today in South Carolina. They attack McCain and Romney for going against the Confederate flag and calling it all of the typical politically correct names: racist, hatred. Then they talk about how Governor Huckabee feels when he sees a pickup truck with a Confederate flag on it. It just makes him so proud to be a Southerner! Shame on those who would disparage those who wore the gray!
Referendum after referendum all across the South proves that this kind of thing makes voters fall in love with you. Three-to-one in South Carolina in 1996 voted to keep the flag atop the State House dome. Two-to-one in Mississippi a few years ago voted to keep their Confederate canton in their flag. Georgia, Virginia, and Missouri have shown the same patterns when the issue arose. Surveys say 14 to 18 percent of Southerners would prefer that their states secede, today.These new radio ads are a ridiculous attempt to exploit the good sympathies of South Carolinians for a totally dishonest and fraudulent candidate. All along, Huckabee has said his liberal stance on illegal immigration is brought on by his desire to make atonement for slavery, “a second chance for America to get right with God.” He has, himself, over and over, repeatedly used all of the same politically correct slurs against the Confederate flag—not to mention grandstanding for the NAACP.
