First,
Huckabee goes on and on about the Kenyan connection of the President, echoing the absurd claims of
Dinesh D'Souza:
Speaking on WOR's The Steve Malzberg Show, Huckabee -- a Fox News host and potential presidential candidate -- said that "one thing that I do know is his having grown up in Kenya, his view of the Brits, for example, very different than the average American ... his perspective as growing up in Kenya with a Kenyan father and grandfather, their view of the Mau Mau Revolution in Kenya is very different than ours because he probably grew up hearing that the British are a bunch of imperialists who persecuted his grandfather."
Second,
his spokesman tries to minimize the absurdity of Huckabee's claims by saying he merely misspoke:
“Governor Huckabee simply misspoke when he alluded to President Obama growing up in ‘Kenya.’ The Governor meant to say the President grew up in Indonesia.”
But there were
no Mau Mau in Indonesia and it
never was a British colony!
