Byron York: Huckabee Hits the Target

This article gives some very interesting details and background behind the Mike Huckabee Christmas message video we posted yesterday. You will be very surprised to learn how it all came together. Reading this made me love it that much more!

If you were not aware, there has been a wave of cynicism, particularly in the media, over this simple Christmas ad. I even remarked yesterday about how refreshing it was. But it did not take the press one day to start coming up with accusations that the television spot had some deep strategic political meaning.

Sometimes I wish I could ask reporters this: if someone actually wanted to just mean what they say, how else would they say it? The press does not get along with Mike Huckabee because he doesn't fit the mold of the politicians they are use to dealing with.

It is bewildering how Huckabee has had the character to hold himself in good tone throughout all these blatant misrepresentations of his record. In the interview below I think Mike actually "broke open" a little bit about his sincere frustration with all that he's been going through. But it came out in a compassionate frustration, rather than an angry one. It was a really neat moment to watch.
