“Paul is Dead”
Mike Huckabee was harassed all day yesterday about his Christmas advertisement. Some people have mistaken part of the set as intentional symbolism featuring a “floating cross” (I laugh as I type it – these are probably the same people bidding on the grilled cheese sandwich that showed an apparition of Mary). Huckabee was asked to comment on the accusation of the cross being intentional and he jokingly responded that if you played the message backwards it says, “Paul is dead.” This was clearly a reference to the big brouhaha that surfaced in the 1970’s about secret backwards messages on Beatle’s albums.
** Side Note – I can still remember my mother playing my brother’s Beatles albums backwards to listen for those messages.
The Ron Paul supporters never cease to amuse me. They have an uncanny talent of making everything a criticism or slight of Ron Paul. This was no exception. His supporters actually believe that Huckabee’s comment was a reference to Ron Paul’s campaign being dead. There concern was only fueled when Glenn Beck scrolled the message “Paul is Dead, Paul is Dead, Paul is dead” during a Ron Paul interview.
I am not sure if Ron Paul’s supporters are really that out of touch or just that clueless. Nonetheless, it was extremely amusing.
