RE: Huckabee: Americans should be forced to learn pseudo-history at gunpoint
I think Huckabee is a good man to do work in the private sector and host talk shows, but not suitable for the presidency. His "force to watch Barton at gunpoint" remark was obviously made in jest, but I implore the GOP to present someone far less 'religious-right' in 2012. The election talking points will need to focus on the ridiculous mountain of debt spending, entitlements, and who knows what else we're doing in the Middle East. A Huckabee nomination (though I feel unlikely) will give the Democrats a mountain of ammo to use.
If the final Big 2 choice is Obama/Biden vs. Huckabee/TBA...
On a side note, for those interested, Jon Stewart talks to Huckabee about the Barton quotes here.

Paul, I don't condone anyone making a death threat and I can assure you it knows no political boundary. I sincerely hope that you aren't also turning a blind eye to death threats from the right. (See Fox Nation)
And I actually like Huckabee...but as MB intimates...I think he's far to religious to be able so separate the two and be an effective President for all the people.
