To accuse him of being an anti-Semite and an anti-Catholic bigot merely because he questions precisely what EVERY orthodox theologian in conservative seminaries in America questions about Mormonism is really grasping. You owe Governor Huckabee an apology and a public retraction on your blog should be forthcoming.<\/p>\n<p>You are one of the finest minds in the Salem family. Your enthusiasm for Romney, however, has clouded your judgment. Endorse Romney, but be fair to the other candidates. My hope is that, upon careful review, you will see just how unfair and unfounded many of your most recent posts on Huckabee have been. You are sounding more like the MSM than you are the objective voice of reason I have been so accustomed to turning to.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In his most recent attack on Mike Huckabee, Hugh Hewitt implies that the former Arkansas governor is an anti-Semite and an anti-Catholic bigot: Wednesday, December 12, 2007 Hitting Huckbottom Posted by: Hugh Hewitt \u00a0at 8:41 AM Huck asks in this &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/hewitt-crosses-the-line\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-284","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.godandculture.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
