Here’s an astonishing statement by GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, who told the “Rediscover God in America” conference last weekend that “All Americans Should Be Forced at Gunpoint to Listen to David Barton.”

David Barton is the religious right pseudo-historian who specializes in trying to prove that the founding fathers intended to create a Christian theocracy, and who gave speeches to neo-Nazi groups in the 1990s.

And the story gets even sleazier, because when the conference webcast of Huckabee’s speech was posted, they had edited out his statement about Barton. Here’s the edited version, sans “forced at gunpoint.”

But the Internet cannot forget.
