Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich today accused Republican candidate Mike Huckabee of using the tragic assassination of Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto to create anti-Pakistani fears in the U.S. and to advance his own discriminatory immigration policies.

I know I'm not running against Mike Huckabee, said Kucinich, who is campaigning in New Hampshire, but his remarks were so outrageous and so representative of the scare tactics and fearmongering policies of the current Republican administration that someone on the Democratic side of this campaign needs to speak out.

Kucinich added, To be silent would be the worst kind of betrayal of the public trust that voters are being asked to invest in the Democratic candidates. The other candidates may choose to focus on a narrower political agenda, but Huckabees statements are so egregiously provocative and dangerous that they cannot be ignored.

1. I think ALL Dems should follow Dennis's example here--

that was a pretty offensive Huck-up.
