CNN Political Ticker whined For the second time in the past two weeks, presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee has aired a commercial in which a Christian symbol appears in the background.
The ICA is an influential social conservative organization in Iowa, and Huckabee can be seen speaking about his opposition to abortion before the group. The ichthys, which resembles a fish, is well-known in evangelical circles as the symbol used by early Christians to secretly identify one another without attracting persecution.
What is wrong with that. He is a Christian, in fact he is a Baptist Preacher. Should he have Buddhist, Hindu, Moslem, or Jewish signs in his ads.
