Here's what Mike Huckabee said about Rev. Wright: "Sermons, after all, are rarely written word for word by pastors like Rev. Wright, who are delivering them extemporaneously, and caught up in the emotion of the moment. There are things that sometimes get said, that if you put them on paper and looked at them in print, you'd say 'Well, I didn't mean to say it quite like that.... As easy as it is for those of us who are white to look back and say 'That's a terrible statement!' ...I grew up in a very segregated South. And I think that you have to cut some slack—and I'm gonna be probably the only conservative in America who's gonna say something like this, but I'm just tellin' you—We've gotta cut some slack to people who grew up being called names; being told you have to sit in the balcony when you go to the movie; you have to go to the back door to go into the restaurant; you can't sit out there with everyone else, there's a separate waiting room in the doctor's office; here's where you sit on the bus... And you know what? Sometimes people do have a chip on their shoulder, and resentment, and you have to just say, 'I probably would, too. I probably would, too. And in fact, I may have had more of a chip on my shoulder had it been me.'"
