HUCKABEE: I would love to know more. What I know is troubling enough. And one thing that I do know is his having grown up in Kenya, his view of the Brits, for example, very different than the average American. When he gave the bust back to the Brits --

HUCKABEE: The bust of Winston Churchill, a great insult to the British. But then if you think about it, his perspective as growing up in Kenya with a Kenyan father and grandfather, their view of the Mau Mau Revolution in Kenya is very different than ours because he probably grew up hearing that the British were a bunch of imperialists who persecuted his grandfather.
Huckabee is clearly pandering -- which is actually worse than being a genuine Birther because he's knowingly perpetuating a lie. And, by the way, the British were imperialists. Maybe Huckabee thinks wingnuts aren't educated enough to know the title "British Empire."
