Ok... Huckabee's quote made me laugh about as hard as I have in a long time.
I can understand why people might be upset with the confederate flag (I don't like
what it stands for.) I think that Huckabee has the perfect perspective on it:

”South Carolina people know true conservatism when they see it.You don’t like people
outside the state telling you how you ought to raise your kids, you don’t like people
from outside the state telling you what to do with the flag,” Huckabee said during
a rally at a Myrtle beach airport hangar. “In fact, if somebody came down
to Arkansas and told us what to do with our flag, we’d tell’em where to put the
pole.”
