GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee has a slightly different strategy for winning votes from the southern states: attracting the white supremacist vote.

Huckabee, who once gave a speech to the Council of Conservative Citizens, a group that does not hide its hatred of minorities, has tried appealing to whites in South Carolina by defending their stance on the Confederate flag issue. In a recent speech in front of white evangelical Christians, he said that if anyone came into his state of Arkansas and told him what to do with the flag, he'd tell them what to do with the pole.

Former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan, now a top conservative pundit, once said that anyone involved with the Council of Conservative Citizens "does not deserve to be in a leadership position in America." Hmmm, I wonder if conservatives who have disavowed this group are prepared to bring the hammer down on Huckabee.
