Wow. Huckabee just lost some of my respect. I mean, I already disagree with much of his ideology, but I always found him to be a pretty respectable guy in the way he spoke about virtually any subject. But this stuff is pretty low-brow.
Incidentally, I looked up more on this, and found
an article that starts exactly as the one you copied here does, jOHN, but it also then goes on to include:
"In response to a 1992 questionnaire from The Associated Press, Huckabee, then a Senate candidate in Arkansas, spelled out his opposition to homosexuality, saying it was crucial that the country not 'legitimize immorality.'
'I feel homosexuality is an aberrant, unnatural, and sinful lifestyle,' he wrote, in response to a question about gays in the military.
He also advocated isolating AIDS patients from the general public, saying it was necessary to confine 'carriers of this plague.'
As governor, Huckabee supported an Arkansas policy that prevented same-sex couples from serving as foster parents. On gay marriage, he said in an interview, 'Marriage has historically never meant anything other than a man and a woman. It has never meant two men, two women, a man and his pet, or a man and a whole herd of pets.'"
