I found this letter to the editor in the Wilkes-Barre Times Leader.
Does anyone know how factual this is and can we get sme cross references?

In response to Charles Hatchko’s letter praising the morals of presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, perhaps we should look into a few instances regarding Mr. Huckabee’s behavior.

In 1998 Huckabee’s son, David, was fired from his job as a counselor at a Boy Scout camp after he and another counselor admitted to capturing and torturing a stray dog.

The method used was hanging, cutting the animal’s throat and stoning it to death.

While you can’t blame the then-governor for his son’s actions, his reaction to the investigation gives a look at his morals.

After news of this atrocity became public, the state chief prosecutor (an appointed post) attempted to bring charges and was promptly fired by Gov. Huckabee.

Add to the above the number of times the good governor has been under investigation for improperly receiving gifts as well as the disappearance of numerous pieces of furniture from the governor’s mansion when he and his companion vacated and I don’t have any problem in deciding where Mr. Huckabee’s sense of morality stands. Try walking the walk, Mr. Huckabee.
