Huckabee really believes it. A lot of candidates have to pander to the extreme religious right but people like Huckabee and Santorum aren't pandering. He and his supporters really believe that gay marriage is the greatest threat America is currently facing.
Probably she should have said Christian extremists, rather than extreme Christians. I think "normal" Christians accept that our government is the government of all the people, not just those with a narrow religious viewpoint, and so accept the right of gays to get marrried, regardless of whether that conforms with one or other Church's teachings. Also, as Christians, they believe in "love thy neighbor" and "judge not lest ye be judged" and so would not discriminate against gays. This would not make them any less devout than anyone else, they might actually be quite sincere in applying the gospel to their own life.
I agree THAT is what she should have said. But then we have people following up with calling Christians "Taliban", so you can see the room is short on rational thought.
I am glad there is still someone who is willing to stand by his principles. Huckabee is right.

The beauty of this country is that they both have the right to believe what they believe. Though at the rate we're going I'm not sure for how much longer.
The entire population of the country has flip flopped on this issue in the last 10 years so big deal if the Repubs are lagging Dems by a few years, except Muslim and some Religious Dems of course. It has become law of the land because the majority decided it was ok for Gays to get married, nothing more. These guys or the next ones will have to be ok with it because the majority of the country is now behind it.

Guess 70% + of the country that describes themselves as Christian must be Taliban, including Gay Christians
Well, if Huckabee is so gung-ho about defending the Christians, I'm going to root for the Lions!
