First, I would like to express my condolences to the victims and their families of the Westroads mall shootings here in Omaha. My prayers are with you. I have been to that mall on many occasions, and I can only imagine what it must have been like to be there today during this tragedy.
I would like to comment on the news media coverage today surrounding Governor Mike Huckabee. On Good Morning America, ABC News ran a story regarding Wayne Dumond, the convicted rapist who was paroled by the parole board in Arkansas while Governor Huckabee was in office, who later assaulted and murdered a young woman, Carole Sue Shields, in Missouri. They interviewed the victim's mother, who said she would do everything she can to prevent Gov. Huckabee from becoming president, as she blames him solely for Dumond's release. Truly, what happened to Carole Sue Shields was a tragedy, and the actions of Wayne Dumond were deplorable. However, the coverage of ABC News regarding this story has been totally one-sided. They did not contact Huckabee or any of his spokespeople regarding the story. Getting both sides of the story surely must be taught in journalism school. These so-called "journalists" should go back to school and take Journalism 101, Ethics 101 - or both! To see the Huckabee side of the story, please go here and here. (The first link is a transcript of a news conference today, after the ABC story aired.)
Now for some good news - people are still wanting to find out about Mike Huckabee, going to his web-site, signing up for his e-mails, and contributing to his campaign for the first time. This story was just posted: http://www.mikehuckabee.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Blogs.View&Blog_id=846.

Here are some of the reasons behind one of those letters to HSLDA urging them to reverse their endorsement of Huckabee.
