Den, noget bizzare, påstand er faktisk fremført af den ellers så likeable Mike Huckabee, fremgår det af et indlæg på Reason Magazins dejlige Hit&Run-blog, hvorfra man iøvrigt citerer en klumme af gode gamle Boaz fra Cato Institute.
Huckabee pushed for a reaffirmation of the state’s sodomy law, and in 1998 he compared homosexuality to necrophilia.
Reason er dog lidt mere moderat i sin kritik af Huckabee. Men det skyldes også kun, at Huckabee ikke umiddelbart synes at være en så stor tilhænger, af den amerikanske krig mod narko:
Huckabee is the least libertarian candidate in this race, and the whole column is worth a read. That said, Huckabee’s christian universalism does lend itself to some libertarian-friendly positions. Despite the loathsome rhetoric he has adopted to placate the Tancredo/Dobbs cabal, Huckabee has more liberal instincts on immigration than any Democratic candidate. He is also the least likely drug warrior of any candidate other than Paul; Huckabee believes in redemption and he is not fond of locking up entire populations of young men.
