“In a speech at a summit of evangelical Christians, Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, a former Baptist preacher, referred to the 'holocaust of liberalized abortion.' This prompted angry criticism from the Anti-Defamation League.”
Ed Cognoski responds:A politician needs to know the sensitivity of Jews to use of the H-word. It probably wasn't an issue in Arkansas gubernatorial elections, but Huckabee is playing on a bigger stage now. The unintentional gaffe is probably harmless, especially if he reacts quickly and positively to the criticism.
